To prevent dust and dirt from entering the ventilation system of the Kia Sportage, a specific filter is installed on the intake. To keep it efficient, this filter must be replaced every fifteen thousand kilometers.

To change it, sit in the passenger seat, open the glove box, remove the clip on the right side, unscrew the two screws on the short sides, and rotate the glove box downwards. Open the filter box cover and remove the old filter element, replace it with a new one, ensuring the direction of the flow is correct.

Close the cover, reposition the glove box by screwing in the screws and putting back the side clip.
