When
opening the windows in hu‐
mid weather air conditioning may
create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air condition‐
ing should only be run with the
windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in di‐
rect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to
let the hot air inside the vehicle es‐
cape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days, de‐
crease the humidity inside the vehicle
by operating the air conditioning sys‐
tem.
During air conditioning system opera‐
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use
the air conditioning system every
month only for a few minutes to en‐
sure maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys‐
tem, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side of
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
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 be‐
come stale.
During cooling operation, you may oc‐
casionally notice a misty air flow be‐
cause of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system oper‐
ation characteristics.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle 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,
resulting in moisture accumulation on
the inside of the windshield even when
the outside (fresh) air position is selec‐
ted.
If this happens, have the climate con‐
trol air filter replaced by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
