Air conditioning operation 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 system operation
characteristic.
僅 Use the air conditioning system at
least every month only for a few min
-
utes to ensure maximum system per
-
formance.
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 system operation
characteristic.
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 system
operation characteristic.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed
inside the motor room compartment fil
-
ters the dust or other pollutants that
come into the vehicle from the outside
through the heating and air conditioning
system.
僅A: Outside air
僅 B: Recirculated air
僅 C: Climate control air filter
僅D: Blower
僅 E: Evaporator core
僅F: Heater core
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
selected. If this happens, have the cli
-
mate control air filter replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
僅 Replace the filter every 15,000 miles
(20,000 km) or once a year. If the
vehicle is being driven in severe con
-
ditions, such as dusty or rough roads,
more frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are required.
僅 When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, the system should be
checked at an authorized Kia dealer.
