Controlling air intake

Operation

• Select the outside (fresh) air position or recirculated air position.
• Outside (fresh) air position: Air enters the vehicle from outside. The indicator light will turn off.
• Recirculated air position: Air from the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system.

  The indicator light appears.

WARNING- (Kia Niro Hybrid only)

• Continuously using the climate control system in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on. It may cause serious harm or death due to a drop in the oxygen level and/or body temperature.
• Continuously using the climate control system in the recirculated air position can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.

NOTICE- (Kia Niro Hybrid only)

Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) may cause fogging of the windshield and side windows and make the air in the passenger compartment stale. In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the re circulated air position selected will result in excessively dry air in the passenger compartment.

Controlling instrument panel vents

Operation

• Adjust the direction of air delivered from the vents.
• To close the vent, push the air vent lever in the opposite direction of the passenger.
• To open the vent, push the air vent lever in the same direction of the passenger.
