CABIN AIR FILTER AND IN-CAR SANITATION

How many invisible passengers are you carrying?

Even when your Kia looks clean inside and out, it could be carrying unwelcome passengers. Bacteria, viruses and many airborne pollutants are invisible to the naked eye and find an ideal home in the average car:

  • 382 types of bacteria (approx.) per square centimetre in the average car

  • 850 types of bacteria (approx.) in the vehicle boot

Bacteria, viruses, pollen and fungi enter your vehicle through the cabin ventilation and air conditioning system. Once inside the cabin, they can cause problems ranging from disagreeable to dangerous, for the driver and passengers. These include:

    How clean do you want your air?

    The Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filters help eliminate unpleasant smells, gases and allergens. Choose from a standard particle filter, active carbon filter (ideal for those with a dust allergy and asthma sufferers) and bionic filter (resistant to bacteria and mildew growth) to get what is most important to you.

  • Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filter

    Kia Genuine Standard Cabin Air Filter

    The standard cabin air filter of your Kia is designed to filter the air entering your vehicle. To ensure its effectiveness, it requires regular maintenance and replacement. The cabin air filter should be replaced at least every two years or 30,000 km based on your maintenance schedule.

  • Kia Genuine Active Carbon Cabin Air Filter

    As well as effective, long-lasting filtering of harmful particles, the active carbon filter provides an additional line of defence with an activated carbon layer. This layer adsorbs unpleasant odours and potentially harmful gases such as benzene and ozone, so cleaner, fresher air enters the cabin.

How the cabin air filter works

A Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filter contains a filtration medium. The medium traps airborne particles before they can enter the ventilation and air conditioning systems and find their way into the vehicle’s interior.

Over time, the trapped particles will clog the filter, reducing the air flow. This cuts the efficiency and effectiveness of the air conditioning and ventilation systems and also allows dust and allergens into the air conditioning system. So, it is essential to have your A/C system regularly cleaned and the cabin air filter regularly replaced.

Why choose a Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filter?

It is also important to replace the cabin air filter in your Kia only with another Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filter, designed and engineered specially for your Kia model. Its perfect fit ensures there are no gaps where dirty air can bypass the filter. Optimum thickness and surface area – with the ideal number and size of pores – provide effective filtration with sufficient airflow.

Interior cleaning options for health and well-being

Regular cabin air filter replacement is important to ensure fresher, cleaner air in your Kia’s air con and ventilation systems and to maintain a cleaner vehicle interior. However, sometimes changing the filter alone is not enough. For this reason, we also recommend disinfecting the air conditioning system and cleaning the vehicle interior with ozone.

  • Disinfecting of the air conditioning system

    Disinfecting of the air-conditioning system

    A highly effective cleaning solution that penetrates every part of the interior and air-conditioning system. Placed in the cabin with the air con set to recirculate, the cleaner container is activated and the cabin left with all doors and windows closed. In around ten minutes, all unpleasant odours are eliminated and only a fresh mint fragrance remains.

Your questions answered

If my Kia’s interior looks clean, is it clean enough?

Bacteria, viruses and pollutants are invisible to the naked eye. So even if your Kia looks clean, they will still be present and able to cause odours, allergies or other problems.

Why does my cabin air filter need replacing?

Over time, the filter will become less effective as it becomes clogged by filtered particles. This reduces the airflow through the cabin vents and allows dust and allergens to enter the air conditioning system where they can be circulated into the cabin.

What is the advantage of a Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filter?

Because it is designed and engineered specifically for your Kia, a Genuine Filter fits perfectly. This means there are no gaps where unfiltered air can enter the cabin. The filter is also the optimum thickness and surface area, with the ideal number and size of pores, ensuring the perfect balance between filtration and airflow.

Is changing my Kia’s cabin air filter the only option?

A Kia Genuine Cabin Air Filter is very effective at removing unwanted contaminants, pollutants and irritants from the air. However, any filter inevitably becomes less effective over time, making it possible for contaminants etc. to pass through it. Once inside the cabin, bacteria can only be eliminated using specialist equipment like powerful disinfectant spray or highly effective ozone cleaning.
