Recirculated air position
OYD046022L This is used to select outside (fresh) air position or recirculated air position. To change the air intake control posi- tion, push the control button.
The indicator light on the button illuminates when the recirculated air posi- tion is selected. With the recirculated air position selected, air from the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heat- ing system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
The indicator light on the button will not illuminate when the outside (fresh) air position is selected. With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected.
Features of your vehicle
Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) may cause fog- ging of the windshield and side win- dows and the air within the passenger compartment may become stale. In addition, prolonged operation of the air conditioning with the recircu- lated air position selected will result in excessively dry air in the passen- ger compartment.
WARNING - Reduced Visibility
Continuous use of the climate control system in the recirculat- ed air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.

CAUTION - Excessive AC
While using the air conditioning system, monitor the tempera- ture gauge closely while driving up hills or in heavy traffic when outside temperatures are high. Air conditioning system opera- tion may cause engine over- heating and potential engine damage. Continue to use the blower fan but turn the air con- ditioning system off if the tem- perature gauge indicates engine overheating.
Air conditioning system operation tips (cid:129) 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.
(cid:129) To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid days, decrease the humidity inside the vehicle by operating the air conditioning system.
(cid:129) During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally notice a slight change in engine speed as the air conditioning com- pressor cycles. This is a normal system operation characteristic.
(cid:129) Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure maximum system per- formance.
(cid:129) When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water dripping (or even puddling) on the ground under the passenger side of the vehicle. This is a normal sys- tem operation characteristic.

OMG075033
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 accumulation on
the inside of the windshield even
when the outside (fresh) air position is
selected. If this happens, have the cli-
mate control air filter replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
Features of your vehicle
✽✽ NOTICE • Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty, rough roads, more frequent cli- mate control air filter inspections and changes are required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, the system should be checked at an authorized Kia dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Checking the amount of air conditioner refrigerant and compressor lubricant When the amount of refrigerant is low, the performance of the air con- ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also has a negative influence on the air conditioning system. Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, have the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
WARNING
The oil and refrigerant in your vehicle’s air conditioning sys- tem is under very high pressure. If proper service procedures are not followed an explosion may result. To reduce the risk of seri- ous injury or death, the air con- ditioning system in your vehicle should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians.

CAUTION
It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrig- erant is used,otherwise damage to the vehicle may occur. To prevent damage,the air con- ditioning system in your vehicle should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning system should be serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.

How vehicle audio works FM reception
This can be due to factors, such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other strong radio sta- tions or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.
AM reception
JBM002
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance,low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.
JBM001
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However,
in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.

FM radio station
Features of your vehicle
JBM003
FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade within short distances
from the station. short distances from
the station. Also, FM signals are eas-
ily affected by buildings, mountains,
and obstructions. This can lead to
undesirable or unpleasant listening
conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio
trouble:
JBM004
(cid:129) Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another
stronger station.
(cid:129) Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and your radio can dis- turb the signal causing static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen this effect until the disturbance clears.
JBM005
(cid:129) Station Swapping - As an FM sig-
nal weakens, another more power-
ful signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
(cid:129) Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from sever- al directions can cause distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by a direct and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from two stations with close fre- quencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.

Using a cellular phone or a two- way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be produced from the audio system. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case, try to operate mobile devices as far from the audio equipment as possi- ble. When using a communication sys- tem such as a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa- rate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set is used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi- cle's electrical system and adversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
