Features of your vehicle
If dust or other pollutants accumulate in
the filter over a period of time, the air
flow from the air vents may decrease.
This leads to moisture accumulating on
the inside of the windshield even when
the outside (fresh) air position is
selected. If this happens, have the cli-
mate control air filter replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
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 an authorized Kia dealer.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricant
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.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
The oil and refrigerant in your vehicle's
air conditioning system is under very
high pressure. If proper service proce-
dures are not followed, an explosion
may result. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, the air conditioning sys-
tem in your vehicle should only be ser-
viced by trained and certified
technicians.

CAUTION
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used,
otherwise damage to the vehicle may
occur. To prevent damage, the air condi-
tioning system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and certified
technicians.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf*
Since the refrigerant is mildly flammable
and operated at high pressure, the air
conditioning system should only be ser-
viced by trained and certified techni-
cians.
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed with
proper equipment. Venting refrigerants
directly to the atmosphere is harmful to
individuals and environment. Failure to
heed these warnings can lead to serious
injuries.
