Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes

from entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Be sure to
return the control to the fresh air
position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driv-
er 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 the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.

Air conditioning

Kia Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with refrigerant.
1.Start the engine. Push the air con-

ditioning button.

2.Set the mode to the

position.

3.Set the air intake control to the out-

side air or recirculated air position.

4.Adjust the fan speed control and

temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.

• The refrigerant system should only

be serviced by trained and certified
technicians to ensure proper and
safe operation.

• The refrigerant system should be

serviced in a well-ventilated place.

• The air conditioning evaporator

(cooling coil) shall never be repaired
or replaced with one removed from
a used or salvaged vehicle and new
replacement MAC evaporators
should be certified (and labeled) as
meeting SAE Standard J2842.

Features of your vehicle

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 air
conditioning system.

• During air conditioning system

operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed 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 characteristic.

CAUTION -

Excessive AC

When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the tempera-
ture gauge closely while driving
up hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high.
Air conditioning system opera-
tion may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air con-
ditioning system off if the tem-
perature gauge indicates engine
overheating.

CAUTION

When opening the windows in
humid weather, air conditioning
may create water droplets
inside the vehicle. Since exces-
sive water droplets may cause
damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.

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 be 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 cli-
mate control air filter inspections
and changes are required.

• When the air flow rate suddenly

decreases, we recommend that the
system should be inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.

Features of your vehicle

Each symbol and specification on
the air conditioning refrigerant label
is represented below ;

1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubri-

cant

You can find out which air condition-
ing refrigerant is applied to your vehi-
cle on the label inside of the engine
room.

❈ Refer to chapter 9 for more detail

on the location of air conditioning
refrigerant label.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant

When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air condi-
tioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative influence on the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

The oil and refrigerant in your
vehicle's air conditioning sys-
tem is under very high pres-
sure. If proper service proce-
dures are not followed an explo-
sion may result. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death,
the air conditioning system in
your vehicle should only be
serviced by trained and certi-
fied technicians.

CAUTION

AC Repair

It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and
refrigerant is used, otherwise
damage to the vehicle may
occur. To prevent damage, the
air conditioning system in your
vehicle should only be serviced
by trained and certified techni-
cians.

(Continued)
It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and
refrigerant is used.
