Introduction

Kia recommends replacing the cabin air filter every 10,000 miles in extreme conditions and every 15,000-30,000 miles in classic driving conditions. Replacement will take about 5 minutes, and requires no tools. The filter can be purchased at your local automotive store such as O’Reilly, AutoZone, or Advanced Auto.

The air filter should now be exposed. Remove the air filter and replace with a new one.
Cabin air flows top to bottom (your old filter should be dirty on the top to illustrate this). Most filters will have an arrow on the side indicating the direction of the airflow, which would be down. Install the new filter accordingly.
