The climate control air ýilter installed
behind the þlove box ýilters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle ýrom the outside throuþh the
heatinþ and air conditioninþ system.
Iý dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the ýilter over a period oý time, the
air ýlow ýrom the air vents may de‐
crease, resultinþ in moisture accumula‐
tion on the inside oý the windshield
even when the outside (ýresh) air posi‐
tion is selected. Iý this happens, have
the climate control air ýilter replaced by
a proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.

Maintenance schedule on paþe

Iý the car is beinþ driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rouþh

trol air ýilter inspections and
