Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom 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 windshield. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.Air conditioning (if equipped)
The K900 Air Conditioning System is
filled with R-134a refrigerant.
1.Start the engine. Press the air con-ditioning button.
2.Set the mode to the position.
3.Set the air intake control to the out- side air or recirculated air position.
4.Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort. Air conditioning system operation tips
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.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed 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.
Excessive A/C
When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine
coolant closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating
and potential engine damage.
Continue to use the blower fan
but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the engine coolant tem-
perature gauge indicates engine
overheating.

When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.
When the air ventilation seat is turned on, the seat may get cooler
after about 5 minutes.
Because the air ventilation uses the air in the vehicle, cooling effi-
ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.
The air ventilation seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the
Engine Start/Stop Button is turned
to the ON position. You can activate or deactivate the
rear air ventilation button by using
the REAR LOCK button on the rear
armrest or “System Settings” in
AVN (Audio, Video, and
Navigation). Detailed information
for “System Settings” is described
in a separately supplied manual. If
the REAR LOCK button activated
(LED “ON”), you can not activate
the rear air ventilation button.
After deactivating (LED “OFF”) the
REAR LOCK button, you can acti-
vate the rear air ventilation button.
If the REAR LOCK button has acti-
vated through AVN, you can deacti-
vate the REAR LOCK button only
through AVN.
The air ventilation seat is a supple- mentary cooling/heating system.
Use the air ventilation seat when
the climate control system is on.
Using the air ventilation seat for
prolonged periods of time with the
climate control system off could
cause the air ventilation seat per-
formance to impair. Do not place materials such as
plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. The air vent may not
work properly as the air intake can
be blocked.
✽ NOTICE
When the air vent does not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
OFF→ HIGH( )→ MIDDLE( )→LOW( )
→ When cleaning the seats, do
not use an organic solvent
such as paint thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol and gasoline.
Doing so may damage the
surface of the seats.
Do not spill liquid such as water or beverages on the
surface of the front seats and
seatbacks, or the air vent
holes may be blocked and
prevented from working prop-
erly.
