How do I maintain my Kia Rio's air conditioning system?

I noticed that my Kia Rio's air conditioning system doesn't seem to be functioning as well as it used to. How can I keep it running efficiently and avoid costly repairs?

Regularly check and replace the air filter to prevent the build-up of dirt and debris.

Make sure to run the air conditioning system at least once a week, even during winter months, to prevent the seals from drying out.

Schedule a professional cleaning and maintenance every year to keep the system running at peak efficiency.
