僅 Climate Control Air Filter - Kia Telluride 2023 Owner's Manual

Features of your vehicle
replaced with one removed from a
used or salvaged vehicle and new
replacement MAC evaporators shall
be certified (and labeled) as meeting
SAE Standard J2842.
CAUTION
Excessive Air conditioning Use
When using the air conditioning system,
monitor the temperature gauge closely
while driving up hills or in heavy traffic
when outside temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation may
cause vehicle overheating. Continue to
use the blower fan but turn the air con-
ditioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates vehicle overheating.
CAUTION
The air conditioning system should only
be used with the windows and sunroof
closed to prevent condensation inside
the vehicle that may cause damage to
electrical components.
Air conditioning system opera-
tion tips
僅 If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to
let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
僅 To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
僅 During air conditioning system opera-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in vehicle speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.

This is a normal characteristic of sys-
tem operation.
僅 To ensure maximum system perfor-
mance, the air conditioning system
should be ran for a few minutes each
month.
僅 When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal characteristic of
system operation.
僅 Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position pro-
vides maximum cooling; however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
僅 During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid
air intake. This is a normal character-
istic of system operation.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-
cle from the outside through the heating
and air conditioning system.
