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

I recently noticed that the air conditioning in my Kia Stonic isn't working as well as it used to. What steps should I take to ensure that the AC system stays in good condition?

First, make sure to regularly replace the cabin air filter to prevent dust and pollen from clogging the AC system. Also, periodically check the refrigerant levels and have it topped up if necessary.

You should also run the AC system for at least 10-15 minutes every week, even in the colder months, to prevent the compressor from seizing up.

If the AC system is still not working properly, it may indicate a larger issue such as a faulty compressor or leak. In this case, it's best to take your Kia Stonic to a trusted mechanic for further inspection.
