Kia Sorento: Climate control air filter. Air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant label: (if equipped)

Climate control air filter

The cabin climate control air filter removes microscopic dust, pollen, and other pollutants that enter your Kia Sorento from the outside environment. If dust or other pollutants accumulate in the filter over time, the airflow from the air vents may decrease noticeably. This leads to moisture accumulating on the inside of the windshield even when the fresh air intake mode is selected.

At this time, replace the climate control filter. If you find it challenging to perform this maintenance yourself, have the climate control filter replaced by an authorized Kia service center. For details on how to replace the climate control air filter, refer to the dedicated replacement guidelines.
