The climate control air filter installed behind the glove box filters dust or other contaminants entering the vehicle from outside through the heating and air conditioning system.

If dust or other contaminants accumulate in the filter over a period of time, the airflow from the vents may decrease, causing moisture to build up on the inside of the windshield even when the outside (fresh) air position is selected. If this occurs, have the climate control air filter replaced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

NOTICE

  • Replace the filter in accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is driven in severe conditions, such as dusty or rough roads, more frequent inspection and replacement of the air conditioning filter may be required.
  • When the airflow suddenly decreases, have the system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
