CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)
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-
screen even when the outside (fresh)
are position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorised Kia
Dealer.
The climate control air filter should
be replaced every 15,000 km (Diesel
Engine 20,000 km). If the vehicle is
operated in the severely air-polluted
cities or on dusty rough roads for a
long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced earlier.
When you try to replace the climate
control air filter by owner mainte-
nance, replace it performing the fol-
lowing procedure, and in this case,
be careful to avoid damaging other
components.
Filter replacement
1. With the glove box open, remove
the stoppers on both sides to allow
the glove box hang freely on the
hinges.
