What is the function of the air intake in a Kia Rio?

I'm having trouble understanding the purpose of the air intake in my Kia Rio. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?

The air intake in your Kia Rio is responsible for bringing in the necessary air needed for combustion in the engine. It filters out any impurities in the air to prevent damage to your engine.

If your air intake is dirty, it can cause your engine to run less efficiently. Make sure to regularly clean or replace your air filter to prevent any issues.

In addition to letting air in, the air intake also helps to control the temperature and humidity of the air entering the engine. This ensures optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
