Recirculated air position The indicator light on the but-
ton is illuminated when the
recirculated air position is
selected.
With the recirculated air posi- tion selected, air from pas-
senger compartment will be
drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air position The indicator light on the but-
ton is illuminated when the
outside (fresh) air position is
selected.
With the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
✽ ✽NOTICEProlonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air
conditioning selected) may cause fog-
ging of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger com-
partment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in excessive-
ly dry air in the passenger compart-
ment.
WARNING
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside the vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating sys-
tem on. It may cause serious
harm or death due to a drop in the
oxygen level and/or body temper-
ature.
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position
as much as possible while driv-
ing.

4Air 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 win- dows on rainy or humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-
ating the air conditioning system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month if 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 puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, 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 opera-
tion characteristics.
D230300AMG-ECClimate control air filter
(if equipped)The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-
cle from the outside through the heating
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 accumulation on the inside of
the windshield even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized KIA dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE• If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough roads,
more frequent climate control air fil-
ter inspections and changes are
required.
• When the air flow rate is suddenly decreased, the system should be
checked at an authorized KIA dealer.

Care of discs If the temperature inside the car is toohigh, open the car windows for ventila-
tion before using your car audio.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permission. Use CDs that
are created only by lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue discs onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from get- ting damaged, hold and carry CDs by
the edges or the edges of the center
hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it from
the center to the outside edge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or paper
onto it.
Make sure nothing other than CDs are inserted into the CD player (Do not
insert more than one CD at a time). Keep CDs in their cases after use to
protect them from scratches or dirt.
Depending on the type of CD-R/CD- RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally depending upon manufactur-
ing companies or processes and
recording methods. In such circum-
stances, if you still continue to use
those CDs, they may cause the mal-
function of your car audio system.
