Air conditioning system operation tips

• If the vehicle has been parked in direct

sunlight during hot weather, open the

windows for a short time to let the hot

air inside the vehicle escape.

• To help reduce moisture inside of win-

dows on rainy humid days, decrease

the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-

ating the air conditioning system.

• During air conditioning system opera-

tion, you may occasionally notice a

slight change in engine speed as the

air conditioning compressor cycles on.

This is a normal system operation

characteristics.

• Use the air conditioning system every

month if only for a few minutes to

ensure maximum system perfor-

mance.

• When using the air conditioning sys-

tem, you may notice clear water drip-

ping (or even puddling) on the ground

under the passenger side of the vehi-

cle. This is a normal system operation

characteristics.

• Operating the air conditioning system

in the recirculated air position does

provide maximum cooling, however,

continual operation in this mode may

cause the air inside the vehicle to

become stale.

Checking the amount of air con-

ditioner refrigerant and compres-

sor lubricant

When the amount of refrigerant is low,

the performance of the air conditioning is

reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-

ence on the air conditioning system.

Therefore, if abnormal operation is

found, have the system inspected by an

authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

• When using the air conditioning

system, monitor the temperature

gauge closely while driving up

hills or in heavy traffic when out-

side temperatures are high. Air

conditioning system operation

may cause engine overheating.

Continue to use the blower fan

but turn the air conditioning sys-

tem off if the temperature gauge

indicates engine overheating.

• When opening the windows in

humid weather air conditioning

may create water droplets inside

the vehicle. Since excessive

water droplets may cause dam-

age to electrical equipment, air

conditioning should only be run

with the windows closed.

CAUTION

The air conditioning system should

be serviced by an authorized Kia

dealer. Improper service may cause

serious injury.

CAUTION

When the performance of the air

conditioning system is reduced it is

important that the correct type and

amount of oil and refrigerant is

used. Otherwise, damage to the

compressor and abnormal system

operation may occur.
