Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to ensure clean air circulation in the Kia Sportage's air conditioning system, as a specific filter has been installed on the external air intake that must be replaced every fifteen thousand miles. To carry out the replacement, sit in the front passenger seat and open the glove compartment in front of you, detach the catch on the right side, unscrew the two plastic screws at the sides of the bottom of the glove compartment, and rotate it downwards.

Open the filter cover in the space that has been freed, remove the old filter element and replace it with a new one, close the cover, and reposition the glove compartment by inserting the screws and the catch.
