Kia Rio: 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.

sides of the cover.
