• 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 characteristic.

• If you operate air conditioner

excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button to
the

position and fan speed

control to the lower speed.

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 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 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 replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

• 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
conditioner filter inspections and
changes are required.

• When the air flow rate suddenly

decreases, have the system should
be checked by an authorized Kia
dealer.
