open the windows ýor a short time to let the hot air inside the vehicle es‐
cape. • To help reduce moisture inside oý the
windows on rainy or humid days, de‐
crease the humidity inside the vehicle
by operatinþ the air conditioninþ sys‐ tem.
• Durinþ air conditioninþ system opera‐ tion, you may occasionally notice a
sliþht chanþe in enþine speed as the
air conditioninþ compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation characteristic.
• Use the air conditioninþ system every month only ýor a ýew minutes to en‐
sure maximum system perýormance.
• When usinþ the air conditioninþ sys‐ tem, you may notice clear waterdrippinþ (or even puddlinþ) on the
þround under the passenþer side oý
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
• æperatinþ the air conditioninþ system in the recirculated air position pro‐vides maximum coolinþ, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to be‐

Features oý your vehicle

Climate control air ýilter (iý
equipped)
A : æutside air
B : Recirculated air
C : Climate control air ýilterD : Blower
E : Evaporator core
F : Heater core
The climate control air ýilter installed
behind the þlove box ýilters the dust or other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle ýrom the outside throuþh the
heatinþ and air conditioninþ system. Iý dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the ýilter over a period oý time, the
air ýlow ýrom the air vents may de‐
crease, resultinþ in moisture accumula‐ tion on the inside oý the windshield
even when the outside (ýresh) air posi‐
tion is selected. Iý this happens, have the climate control air ýilter replaced by
a proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ service partner.
NOTICE
•Replace the ýilter accordinþ to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Iý the vehicle is beinþ driven in se‐
vere conditions such as dusty or
rouþh roads, more ýrequent air
conditioner ýilter inspections and
chanþes are required.
•When the air ýlow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system
checked by a proýessional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
