To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Be sure to
return the control to the fresh air
position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driv-
er alert and comfortable.
Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windscreen. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- screen, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on theair conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.
Air conditioning (if equipped)
Kia Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with environmentally friendly
refrigerant*.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con- ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air posi- tion.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
*: Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or R-1234yf according to the regula-
tion in your country at the time of
producing. You can find out which
air conditioning refrigerant is
applied to your vehicle at the label
inside of bonnet. Refer to chapter 9
for more detail location of air con-
ditioning refrigerant label.

✽✽NOTICE
 When using the air conditioning system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely whilst driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the blower fan but
turn the air conditioning system
off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
 When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air condi-
tioning should only be used with
the windows closed.Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked indirect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
Use air conditioning to reduce humidity and moisture inside the
vehicle on rainy or humid days.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionallynotice a slight change in enginespeed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.CAUTION
The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trainedand certified technicians toinsure proper and safe opera-tion.
The refrigerant system should be serviced in a well-ventilat-ed place.
The air conditioning evapora- tor (cooling coil) shall neverbe repaired or replaced withone removed from a used or salvaged vehicle and newreplacement MAC evaporatorsshall be certified (and labeled) as meeting SAE StandardJ2842.

Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked indirect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
Use air conditioning to reduce humidity and moisture inside the
vehicle on rainy or humid days.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionallynotice a slight change in enginespeed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance. When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
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
behind the glove box filters the dustor other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through theheating and air conditioning system.
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 accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
screen even when the outside (fresh)
air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the cli-
mate control air filter be replaced by
an authorised Kia dealer.

warmer off. The seat warmer
may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
In particular, the driver must

cold tablets, etc.)CAUTION - Seat damage
When cleaning the seats, do
not use an organic solventsuch as paint thinner, ben-zene, alcohol and petrol.Doing so may damage the sur-face of the heater or seats.
To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not place any-thing on the seats that insu-lates against heat, such asblankets, cushions or seat covers on the seats whilst theseat warmer is in operation.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the seat. Thosethings may damage the seat warmer system.
Be careful not to spill liquid such as water or beverages onthe seat. If you spill some liquid,wipe the seat with a dry towel. Before using the seat warmer,dry the seat completely.
