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 hap
pens, have the climate control air filter replaced by a professional workshop. Kia rec
ommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
NOTE
• Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is being dri
ven in severe conditions such as dusty or rough roads, more frequent air condition
er filter inspections and changes are required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, have the system checked by a profes
sional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
