First, check to make sure that the AC is turned on and set to the correct temperature. If it is already on and set correctly, the next step would be to check the AC compressor. Make sure it is running properly and not making any strange noises. If there are any issues with the compressor, it may need to be replaced.

If the compressor seems to be fine, then the next thing to check would be the refrigerant levels. Low levels of refrigerant can cause the AC to blow out warm air. You can check the levels using a gauge or have a professional mechanic perform this task.

Another common issue with AC systems is a clogged or dirty cabin air filter. This can restrict airflow and prevent the AC from cooling properly. Check the filter and replace if necessary.

If none of these solutions seem to work, it may be a more serious issue with the AC system. It is best to take your Kia Rio to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.
