Replace the filter according to the Main-
tenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the ele-
ment more often than the usual recom-
mended intervals. (Refer to
"Maintenance under severe usage con-
ditions - except Europe (Including Rus-
sia)" on page 8-15.)
CAUTION
僅 Do not drive with the air cleaner
removed; this will result in excessive
engine wear.
僅 When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake, or damage may
result.
僅 Use only Kia Genuine Parts or those
of an equivalent standard part. If not,
it may lead to air flow sensor dam-
ages. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
