Kia Picanto: Maintenance / Climate control air filter
Filter inspection
The climate control air filter should be
replaced according to the maintenance

control air filter, replace it performing
the following procedure, and
be careful to avoid damaging other
components.

glove box by pushing both sides.

cover while pressing the lock on
the right side of the cover.
3. Replace the climate control air filter.
