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-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
are position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorized Kia
Dealer.
The air filter should be replaced
every 10,000 miles (15,000 km). If
the vehicle is operated in the severe-
ly 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 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. Open the glove box part way,
reach inside and pull out the elas-
tic line and push the retaining clip
through the hole on the side of the
glove box (if equipped). Allow the
glove box to open.
