Features of your vehicle Climate control system
flow because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
characteristic of system opera
tion.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter
installed behind the glove box filters
the dust or other pollutants that
come into the vehicle from the out
side through the heating and air
conditioning system.
A: Outside air
B: Recirculated air
C: Climate control air filter
D: Blower
E: Evaporator core
F: Heater core
If dust or other pollutants accumu
late in the filter over a period of
time, the air flow from the air vents
may decrease. This leads to mois
ture accumulating on the inside of
the windshield even when the out
side (fresh) air position is selected. If
this happens, have the climate con
trol air filter replaced by a profes
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorized Kia dealer/ser
vice partner.
䳜 Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule. If the
vehicle is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent air condi
tioner filter inspections and
changes are required.
䳜 When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system
checked by a professional work
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorized Kia dealer/service
partner.
Checking the amount of air condi
tioner refrigerant and compressor
lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative impact on the air
conditioning system.
