When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con -
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative impact on the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.

The oil and refrigerant in your vehi -
cle's air conditioning system is
under very high pressure. If proper
service procedures are not followed
an explosion may result. To reduce
the risk of serious injury or death,
the air conditioning system in your
vehicle should only be serviced by
trained and certified technicians.
