Air filter maintenance
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 a Kia genuine part. Use of a non-
genuine part could damage the air
flow sensor.
