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.
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 windscreen even when
the outside (fresh) air position is
selected.
If this happens, have the climate control
air filter replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
僅 Excessive air conditioning use
When using the air conditioning sys -
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera -
tures are high. Air conditioning system
operation may cause vehicle over -
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.
