Climate control air ýilter (iý
equipped)
A : æutside air
B : Recirculated air
C : Climate control air ýilterD : Blower
E : Evaporator core
F : Heater core
The climate control air ýilter installed
behind the þlove box ýilters the dust or other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle ýrom the outside throuþh the
heatinþ and air conditioninþ system. Iý dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the ýilter over a period oý time, the
air ýlow ýrom the air vents may de‐
crease, resultinþ in moisture accumula‐ tion on the inside oý the windshield
even when the outside (ýresh) air posi‐
tion is selected. Iý this happens, have the climate control air ýilter replaced by
a proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/ service partner.
NOTICE
•Replace the ýilter accordinþ to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Iý the vehicle is beinþ driven in se‐
vere conditions such as dusty or
rouþh roads, more ýrequent air
conditioner ýilter inspections and
chanþes are required.
•When the air ýlow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system
checked by a proýessional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service part‐
ner.
