Recirculated air positionWith the recirculated airposition selected, air from
the passenger compart-
ment will be drawn throughthe heating system andheated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position With the outside (fresh) airposition selected, air
enters the vehicle from out-side and is heated or
cooled according to thefunction selected.✽✽ NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (with-
out air conditioning selected) may
cause fogging of the windshield and
side windows and the air within the
passenger compartment may
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated
air position selected will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.WARNING
Continued climate control system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allowhumidity 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
system on. It may cause seri-ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued climate control sys- tem operation in the recirculat-ed 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 driving.

Air quality system
The air inflow from outside the vehi- cle can be automatically controlled.
Press the button to activate the airquality control system.
When using AQS mode, AQS(Air Quality System) automatically sens-es outdoor air pollutants and mini-
mizes them from entering the vehi-
cle, however, unpleasant or foul
odors that might be present may still
be noticeable within the vehicle. Exhaust gas cutoff mode :
Air enters the vehicle from the outside.
If exhaust gas enters the vehicle from
the outside, the exhaust gas cutoff
mode is automatically converted fromthe outside air position to the recircu-
lated air position to prevent exhaust
gas from entering the vehicle.
✽✽
NOTICE
It should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating system in
recirculation mode will give rise to
misting of the windshield and side
windows and the air within the pas-
senger compartment will become
stale. In addition, prolonged use of
the air conditioning with the recir-
culation mode selected may result in
the air within the passenger com-
partment becoming excessively dry.

Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the car through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircu-
lated air position. Be sure to returnthe control to the fresh air position
when the irritation has passed to
keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver 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 theair conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.Air conditioning
Kia Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with environmentally friendly
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 outside air or recirculated air posi- tion.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
✽✽ NOTICE
 When using the air conditioning system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while 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 run with
the windows closed.

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 airconditioning system.
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 characteristics. 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-
shield 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 authorized Kia dealer.
