How to maintain the air conditioning system in my Kia Ceed?

I just purchased a Kia Ceed and I want to make sure I properly maintain the air conditioning system to ensure maximum efficiency and longevity. Can anyone provide some tips or advice on how to do this effectively?

It's important to regularly check and replace the cabin air filter in your Kia Ceed to maintain good air quality and prevent unnecessary strain on the AC system. You should also have the AC system checked and serviced by a professional every year.

In addition to regular maintenance, make sure to turn off the AC 5-10 minutes before reaching your destination to allow the system to dry out. This will help prevent mold and mildew from building up and causing unpleasant odors.

Another helpful tip is to use a sunshade or park in the shade to prevent the interior of your car from becoming too hot. This will reduce the strain on the AC system and help maintain its efficiency.
