How to properly maintain the air conditioning in the Kia Stonic?

I've noticed that my Kia Stonic's air conditioning is not as cold as it used to be. How often should I have it serviced and what steps can I take to keep it in good condition?

Regularly servicing your air conditioning system is crucial for its performance. It is recommended to have it checked at least once a year by a certified technician. In between services, you can also keep the system running smoothly by regularly replacing the air filter.

In addition to regular servicing, you can also prevent any potential issues by using your AC system regularly. This will help keep the compressor and other components lubricated, preventing any build-up of moisture and bacteria.

Another tip is to avoid blasting the AC at full power as soon as you start your car. Instead, gradually increase the fan speed while driving to avoid putting too much strain on the system.
