tion 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 characteristic of sys -
tem operation.
僅 To ensure maximum system perfor -
mance, the air conditioning system
should be run for a few minutes each
month.
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 characteristic of
system operation.
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 character
-
istic of system operation.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter removes
dust and other pollutants that enter the
vehicle from the outside. If dust or other
pollutants accumulate in the filter over
time, the airflow from the air vents may
decrease. This leads to moisture accu
-
mulating on the inside of the windscreen
even when the fresh air intake mode is
selected.
At this time, replace the climate control
filter. If you find it challenging to do so
yourself, have the climate control filter
replaced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner. For details on
how to replace the climate control air fil
-
ter, refer to "Climate control air filter" on
page 8-29.
CAUTION
Replace the climate control air filter
according to the Maintenance Schedule.
Failure to replace the climate control air
filter on a regular basis can result in
decreased airflow, diminished heating
and cooling performance, and unpleas
-
ant odors.
NOTICE
If the airflow from the air vents suddenly
decreases, have the system checked by
a professional workshop. Kia recom -
