Today, most Kia cars, SUVs, and MPVs come with two air filters. The first is for the engine, while the second is for your HVAC system. They serve the same purpose, which is to keep airborne contaminants out of essential parts and systems.

What Do Kia Air Filters Do?

Your engine air filter is found near the air intake, better for capturing those pollutants before they can get into the engine, gather, and cause problems.

Your cabin air filter is usually placed either behind the glove compartment or under the front cowling on the passenger side of your vehicle. It's responsible for blocking irritants and allergens before they can enter your passenger space through the air vents.

How Do You Recognize Air Filter Problems?

Unfortunately, even the best air filters go bad. While they can degrade with age, it's more likely they'll get clogged up with captured particulates. When that happens, you'll want to replace them as soon as possible. Signs of failing air filters include:

A misfiring engine

You hear weird noises coming from your engine

Engine performance suffers

The cabin smells musty

You notice inconsistent cabin temperatures

You hear whistling sounds coming from the air vents
