How do I properly maintain the air conditioning system in my Kia ProCeed?

I recently purchased a Kia ProCeed and I want to make sure I am maintaining the air conditioning system properly. Can someone provide me with some tips and advice on how to maintain it?

Hi Cameron, congratulations on your new Kia ProCeed! Proper maintenance of the air conditioning system is essential for its longevity and performance. Here are a few tips to help you keep it in top condition:

First, regularly checking and replacing the air filters is crucial. Dirty filters can reduce the efficiency of the system and even cause it to stop working altogether.

Next, make sure to have the system serviced by a certified mechanic at least once a year. They will check for any leaks, replace any worn out parts, and recharge the refrigerant as necessary.

Lastly, it's important to use the air conditioning system regularly, even during the colder months. This helps prevent the system from drying out and keeps the seals and gaskets properly lubricated.
