4Automatic operationThe automatic climate control system is
controlled by simply setting the desired
temperature.
The Full Automatic Temperature Control
(FATC) system automatically controls the
heating and cooling system as follows;
1. Push the AUTO button. The indicator
light will come on and the modes, fan
speeds, air intake and air-conditioning
will be controlled automatically by tem-
perature setting. 2. Push the TEMP button to set the
desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the lowest
setting 17°C/62°F (Lo), the air condi-
tioning system will operate continu-
ously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off, press any button except temperature
control button. If you press the mode
selection button, air-conditioning but-
ton, defrost button, recirculated air
position button, outside (fresh) air
position button or fan speed button,
the selected function will be controlled
manually while other functions operate
automatically.
Regardless of the temperature setting,
when using automatic operation, the air
conditioning system will automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.
✽ ✽ NOTICENever place anything over the sensor
located on the instrument panel to
ensure better control of the heating and
cooling system.

Driving your vehicle
Air conditioning system opera-
tion tips If the vehicle has been parked in directsunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in the engine speed as
the air conditioning compressor cycles
on. This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even pudding) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristics. Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-
ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
When the performance of the airconditioning system is reduced it isimportant that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant isused. Otherwise, damage to thecompressor and abnormal systemoperation may occur.
CAUTION
When using the air conditioningsystem, monitor the temperature gauge closely while driving up hillsor in heavy traffic when outsidetemperatures are high. Air condi- tioning system operation maycause engine overheating.Continue to use the blower fan but turn the air conditioning system offif the temperature gauge indicates engine overheating.
WARNING
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer. Improper service may cause
serious injury to the person per-
forming the service.

Driving your vehicle
To defog inside windshield 1. Select desired fan speed
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Press the defrost button ( ).
4. The air-conditioning will be turned onaccording to the detected ambient
temperature and outside (fresh) air
position will be selected automatically.
To defrost outside windshield 1. Set fan speed to the or position.
2. Set temperature to the extreme hot (25~32°C / 77~90°F) position.
3. Press the defrost button ( ).
4. The air-conditioning will be turned on according to the detected ambient
temperature and outside (fresh) air
position will be selected automatically. For maximum defrosting, set the tem-
perature control button to the hot posi-
tion and the fan speed control button to
the highest speed.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the mode
selection button to the floor- defrost
position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, out-
side rear view mirrors, and all side win-
dows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up
inside of the windshield.
WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
Do not use defrost position during
cooling operation in extremely
humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the out-
side air and that of the windshield
could cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance precautions Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
As explained earlier in this section, sev-
eral procedures can be done only by a
qualified service technician with special
tools.✽ ✽NOTICEImproper owner maintenance during
the warranty period may affect warran-
ty coverage. For details, read the sepa-
rate Kia Warranty & Consumer
Information Manual provided with the
vehicle. If you're unsure about any serv-
icing or maintenance procedure, have it
done by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
WARNING
- Maintenance
work
Performing maintenance work on
a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured while per-
forming some maintenance pro-
cedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have it done by a quali-
fied technician.
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. These can become
entangled in moving parts and
result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while work-
ing under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (espe-
cially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose cloth-
ing before getting near the engine
or cooling fans.
