2007 Kia Sorento Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Air conditioning system opera-
tion tips
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricant
When  the amount  of  refrigerant  is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a  bad influ-
ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore,   if    abnormal   operation    is
found, have  the system inspected  by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
When  using   the  air   conditioning
system,  monitor   the   temperature
gauge closely while  driving up hills
or in heavy traffic when outside tem-
peratures are high. Air conditioning
system operation may cause engine
overheating.  Continue   to  use  the
blower  fan  but  turn the  air  condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge  indicates   engine  overheat-
ing.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during  hot weather,  open the
windows for a  short time to  let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce  moisture inside of win-
dows  on rainy  humid  days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-
ating the air conditioning system.
During air  conditioning system  opera-
tion,  you  may   occasionally  notice  a
slight change  in  engine speed  at idle
as  the   air   conditioning  compressor
cycles  on.  This  is  a  normal   system
operating characteristic.
CAUTION
The air conditioner  refrigerant con-
tainer
is
highly
pressurized.
Therefore it  should be  serviced by
an authorized  Kia  dealer. Improper
service may cause serious injury.
Use the  air conditioning system  every
month  if   only  for  a  few   minutes  to
ensure   maximum   system   perform-
ance.
When  using the  air  conditioning  sys-
tem, you  may notice  clear water  drip-
ping (or  even puddling) on the  ground
under the  passenger side of  the vehi-
cle. This is a  normal system operating
characteristic.
CAUTION
When  the  performance  of   the  air
conditioning system is reduced it is
important that the  correct type and
amount  of   oil   and  refrigerant   is
used.  Otherwise,   damage   to   the
compressor  and abnormal  system
operation may occur.
Operating the  air  conditioning system
in  the  recirculated  air   position  does
provide  maximum   cooling,  however,
continual  operation in  this mode  may
cause  the   air  inside   the  vehicle  to
become stale.
