KIA Cadenza (2019 year). Instruction — part 14

4 139

Features of your vehicle

• 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.

Climate control air filter
(if equipped)

The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box, filters 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, air flow
from the air vents may decrease,
resulting in moisture accumulation on
the inside of the windshield even
when the outside (fresh) air position is
selected. If this happens, have the cli-
mate control air filter replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• Replace the filter every 15,000

miles or once a year.
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, the system should be
checked at an authorized Kia
dealer.

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 impact on the air con-
ditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.

Air Conditioning refrigerant
label

❈ The actual Air Conditioning refrig-

erant label in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.

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

❈ Refer to chapter 8 for more detail

on the location of air conditioning
refrigerant label.

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

It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used, otherwise damage
to the vehicle may occur. To pre-
vent damage, the air conditioning
system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.

Features of your vehicle

• For maximum defrosting, set the

temperature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.

• If warm air to the floor is desired

while defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost posi-
tion.

• Before driving, clear all snow and

ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.

• Clear all snow and ice from the

hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probabili-
ty of fogging up the inside of the
windshield.

Automatic climate control
system

To defog inside windshield

1. Set the fan speed to the desired

position.

2. Select desired temperature.
3. Press the defroster button (

).

4. The outside (fresh) air position will

be selected automatically and the
air conditioning will turn on
according to the detected ambient
temperature.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING

WARNING -

Windshield
heating

Do not use the

or

posi-

tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-
ature of the outside air and the
windshield could cause the
outer surface of the windshield
to fog up, causing loss of visi-
bility. In this case, set the mode
selection to the

position

and fan speed control to the
lower speed.

If the air conditioning and outside
(fresh) air position are not selected
automatically, adjust the correspon-
ding button manually. If the

posi-

tion is selected, lower fan speed is
adjusted to a higher fan speed.

To defrost outside windshield

1. Set the fan speed to the highest

position.

2. Set the temperature to the

extreme hot (HI) position.

3. Press the defroster button (

).

4. The outside (fresh) air position will

be selected automatically and the
air conditioning will turn on
according to the detected ambient
temperature.

Defogging logic

To reduce the possibility of fogging
up the inside of the windshield, the
air intake or air conditioning is con-
trolled automatically according to
certain conditions such as

or

position. To cancel automatic defog-
ging logic or return to the automatic
defogging logic, do the following.

Features of your vehicle

Automatic climate control system

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON

position.

2. Press the defroster button (

).

3. While pressing the air conditioning

button (A/C), press the air intake
control button at least 5 times with-
in 3 seconds.

The recirculation indicator blinks 3
times with 0.5 second of interval. It
indicates that the defogging logic is
canceled or returned to the pro-
grammed status.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, it resets to the defog
logic status.

Auto defogging system
(if equipped)

Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.

This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.

The Auto defogging system address-
es excess moisture on the inside of
the windshield in stages. For exam-
ple, if auto defogging does not defog
inside the windshield at step 1
Outside air position, it tries to defog
again at step 2 Operating the air con-
ditioning.

Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air condition-

ing

Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the

windshield

Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward

the windshield

driving

Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol that may lead to an acci-
dent, severe personal injury,
and death. The driver’s primary
responsibility is in the safe and
legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle sys-
tems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away
from the safe operation of a
vehicle or which are not permis-
sible by law should never be
used during operation of the
vehicle.

CAUTION

- Liquid in Wireless Smart

Phone Charger

To prevent liquid from damaging
the wireless smart phone charg-
ing system in your vehicle,
securely close the tray cover
when charging your phone.

CAUTION

- Metal in

Wireless Charging System

If any metallic object such as
coins placed between the wire-
less charging system and the
smart phone, the charging may
be disrupted. Also, the metallic
object may heat up and poten-
tially damage the charging sys-
tem.

If there is any metallic

object between the smart phone
and the charging pad, immedi-
ately remove the smart phone.
Remove the metallic object after
it has cooled down.
