Kia Picanto: Maintenance / Climate control air filter
Filter inspection
The climate control air filter should be
replaced according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is operated in
severely air-polluted cities or on dusty
rough roads for a long period, it should
be inspected more frequently and replaced
earlier. When you replace the climate
control air filter, replace it performing
the following procedure, and
be careful to avoid damaging other
components.

1. With the glove box open, lower the
glove box by pushing both sides.

2. Remove the climate control air filter
cover while pressing the lock on
the right side of the cover.

3. Replace the climate control air filter.
4. Reassemble in the reverse order of
disassembly.
