Kia Sportage: Climate control air filter
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.
This leads to moisture accumulating on
the inside of the windshield even when
the outside (fresh) air position is selected. If this
happens, have the climate
control air filter replaced by an
authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
- Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle
is being driven in severe conditions
such as dusty or rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter inspections
and changes are required.
- When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system checked
by an authorized Kia dealer.
