heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates vehicle overheating.
僅 The air conditioning system should
only be used with the windows and
sunroof closed to prevent condensa-
tion inside the vehicle that may cause
damage to electrical components.
NOTICE
僅 Replace the filter according to the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle
is being driven in severe conditions
such as dusty or rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter inspec-
tions and changes are required.
僅 When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system checked
by a professional workshop. Kia rec-
ommends to visit an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.

INFORMATION
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also has a nega-
tive impact on the air conditioning sys-
tem.
If abnormal operation is found, have the
system inspected by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
僅 Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Because the refrigerant is at
very high pressure, the air
conditioning system should
only be serviced by trained and certi-
fied technicians. It is important that
the correct type and amount of oil
and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to
the vehicle and personal injury.
