Kia Optima: Heating and air conditioning / Sunroof inside air recirculation
The outside (fresh) air position is automatically selected, when the sunroof is opened.
When you select the recirculated air position, the system maintains the recirculated air position for 3 minutes and then automatically converts to the outside (fresh) air position.
When the sunroof is closed, the air intake position will return to the original position that was selected.
WARNING - Reduced visibility
Continued use of the climate control system in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.
WARNING - Sleeping with A/C on
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on as this may cause serious harm or death due to a drop in the oxygen level and/or body temperature.
WARNING - Recirculated air
Continued use of the climate control system in the recirculated air position can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.
