Replacing the Kia Rio cabin filter: instructions, installation, testing

Today we will tell you how to replace the Kio Rio cabin filter of several generations.

One of the most popular models of the Korean company Kia is a car called Rio.

This car is in the budget segment. It quickly became popular due to its affordable price, while this model has a good appearance and is not devoid of equipment that ensures comfort.

The designers also took care of the ease of carrying out some maintenance work, which can be done by any car owner.

This primarily concerns such an element as the cabin filter.

Periodic replacement of this element allows you to maintain clean air in the cabin, so timely replacement is very important, and the operation of replacing it will not take much time.

Stages of replacing the Kia Rio filter element

Compared to most other cars, replacing the cabin air filter in the Kia Rio 4 (FB) is relatively simple.
This operation does not require special preparation. All you need is the new filter element itself. There is no point in arguing about cabin benefits, especially when it comes to coal. Therefore, it is not surprising that installing filters on cars yourself has become commonplace. This is a routine and fairly simple periodic maintenance procedure; there is nothing complicated about it.

According to the law, the cabin filter must be replaced every 15,000 km, that is, with each scheduled maintenance. However, depending on the operational condition of the vehicle, the replacement period can be reduced to 8-10 thousand kilometers. The more often you change the cabin filter, the cleaner the air and the better your air conditioner or heater will work.

The fourth generation has been produced from 2016 to the present.

Where is

The Kia Rio 4 cabin filter is located behind the glove box shelf, which prevents access. To clear this obstruction, you must open the glove box and then follow the instructions below.

The filter element makes travel comfortable, so you should not neglect replacing it. Much less dust will accumulate in the cabin. If you use carbon filtration, the air quality inside your car will be even better.

Which side to install

In addition to replacing the cabin filter element, it is important to install it on the right side. There are simple notations for this:

• Just one arrow (without an inscription) indicates the direction of the air flow.
• Arrow and text UP - indicates the top edge of the filter.
• Arrow and inscription AIR FLOW - indicates the direction of air flow.
• If the flow goes from top to bottom, the extreme edges of the filter should look like this - ////
• If the flow goes from bottom to top, the extreme edges of the filter should look like this - ////

In the Kia Rio 4, the air flow comes from top to bottom. Based on this, in addition to the inscriptions on the side plane of the air filter, we carry out the correct installation.

Replacement frequency

Before you go for a new filter, it is still worth knowing when, according to the regulations, the Kia Rio cabin filter is replaced.

The technical documentation that comes with the car indicates the mileage after which this element must be replaced and it is 45 thousand km.

But in reality, the frequency of replacement may be different. It depends on the operating conditions.

So, in southern latitudes, it is better to change the Kia Rio cabin filter more often, since the dust content of the air is higher. In northern latitudes, frequent replacement is not necessary.

It is worth noting that often this car goes to the buyer without this filter; instead, a frame with a fine mesh is installed. Therefore, after purchasing a car, it is better to immediately check for a filter.

How to replace the cabin filter element of a Kia Rio with your own hands?

Before you start, you will need to purchase the consumables themselves. The optimal solution would be to purchase the carbon version, its catalog number MS-6307.

From a technical point of view, even an inexperienced technician will not have any problems with how to remove the cabin filter on a Kia Rio and install a new one. The work can be carried out in your own garage or just in the parking lot. The filter is located in the cab just behind the glove box.

Replacement algorithm:

• open the glove compartment and empty it;
• Find two plugs in the compartment and remove them by first turning them counterclockwise. The glove compartment lid must be lowered and the right door open to create the necessary working space;

• after removing the caps, a shelf with a filter, secured on both sides with clamps, will become visible;

• the latches are attracted to themselves and gently compressed, the cover is removed;
• the old filter element is removed;

• a new part is inserted into the frame. If its linear dimensions are slightly wider than the frame, the product can be cut along the edges. The arrow drawn on the surface of the fabric should face down when laying;

• then all the parts return to their places in the reverse order; when closing the lid, they turn until they click.

After watching the video on how to change the cabin filter of a Kia Rio, the driver can easily carry out the replacement operation himself, without wasting time and nerves by visiting a car repair shop.

How to replace?

Many people are interested in the question of how to change the cabin filter?
Simple enough! There is no need to contact service organizations here. Basically, the work consists of the simplest process of removing a component from the compartment in the glove compartment of the KIA Rio 3. Having dealt with the degree of clogging, we determine the need for replacement. If it is relevant, then remove the expired filter and install a new component, acting carefully. We do not allow the use of parts with gaps present on the working surface, because these “artifacts” can lead to a deterioration in the quality of air purification in the KIA Rio 3 cabin.

Consequences of a faulty filter

If the driver does not have time to change the cabin filter on the Kia Rio in time, every day more and more fuel combustion products, soot, dust, and various reagents that were previously deposited on the cleaning element will penetrate inside the car. All these microelements enter the human body, accumulating in the bronchi and lungs.

At first it manifests itself in the form of a sore throat and nose, later it can lead to more severe cases, including allergic reactions and chronic diseases.

What types of cabin filters are there for Kia Rio?

In total, two types of cleaning elements can be distinguished:

• For rough cleaning - designed to capture large dust and dirt. In addition to the price, it has disadvantages such as fragility and fragility.
• For fine cleaning: blocks the smallest particles, prevents the penetration of foreign odors into the car. Made from synthetic materials.

There are also regular and carbon filters. The latter more effectively trap particles of harmful substances.

Cleaning the Kia Rio HVAC filter

When operating a vehicle in a dusty area, the mileage between filter cleanings should be reduced by 1.5–2 times. A deformed or damaged filter must be replaced.

The filter is installed in the heater housing behind the glove box of the instrument panel.

To clean the filter, remove the glove box.

Turn the left glove box opening stop counterclockwise and remove it from the hole. Similarly, remove the right limiter. We remove the glove box hinges from the instrument panel axes and dismantle the glove box. Squeeze the filter cover latches. Remove the filter from the heater housing.

Clean the filter from dust. You can wash it with water using a soft brush and dry it.

We install the filter so that the protrusions on it are directed upwards. Install the filter cover so that the arrow on the cover points upward.

Replacing a filter on a car produced in 2010-2011

First, we will consider the procedure for replacing this consumable on a second-generation car (2010-2011), after which we will replace the Kia Rio cabin filter of recent years of production.

• To do this, you may only need a flathead screwdriver.
• To get to the filter cover we are interested in, it is necessary to free the glove box from the restrictive clamps.
• They are located on the side walls of the glove compartment, so it must be opened and cleared of the things that are in it.
• To remove the clips, you need to move them down (away from you) and pry them off with a screwdriver: remove them.
• When lowering the glove compartment down, you will need to slightly press to the right from the outside to remove another small latch located on the wall from the front panel.
• The glove box will then lower completely, allowing access to the filter element cover.
• The cover itself is attached to the body with clips located on the sides. These clips need to be squeezed with your fingers and the cover removed.
• If there is no filter, you will need to remove the frame with the mesh; this will not be necessary in the future. If there is one, the used element is simply restored.
• The new filter must be installed correctly.

For this purpose, at its end there are arrows and the inscription “Air Flow”. When installing a filter with arrows marked with arrows, they should point downwards.

If there are no arrows, but only an inscription, the filter must be installed so that the inscription does not turn upside down.

After installing the filter element, it is closed with a lid, then placed and secured with clamps.

How to diagnose the problem?

Here it will be useful to determine the true need to replace the part, as well as where it is located. Smells in the cabin cannot fully indicate the fact of a blockage.

Here you need to independently verify the degree of clogging of the filter component. And know how to change the cabin filter.

1. Given the need for verification, we proceed to action. Open the glove compartment lid and unfasten the latches present inside, which are located on the side surfaces.
2. Kia Rio 3 allows you to diagnose without resorting to special efforts. Here you will need to rotate the element 360 degrees and remove it towards you.
3. In the second generation of the popular model, the clamps had a composite design, and considerable effort was required to loosen them.
4. Let's continue. After deactivating the fasteners, the filter element appears before the eye.
5. Removal requires simple dismantling of the latches, after which the cover becomes accessible.
6. We set it aside to provide sufficient access to the frame of the filter element itself.
7. Only after removing the frame will it be possible to remove the filter and assess the degree of contamination of its working surface. We determine the condition by color. For a gray filter, vacuuming will be sufficient. If the element shows a black or dark gray tint, then it will need to be replaced in order to stop the harmful effects on the health of the people present in the Kia Rio 3 cabin.

When to change, what interior to install

There are rules for conducting scheduled maintenance, as well as manufacturer recommendations. According to them, replacing the cabin filter of the Kia Rio IV (FB) heating and air conditioning system should be done every 15,000 kilometers or once a year.

Considering that the operating conditions of the car in most cases will be far from ideal, experts recommend doing this approximately twice as often, in spring and autumn.

Typical symptoms:

1. windows often fog up;
2. the appearance of unpleasant odors in the cabin when the fan is on;
3. deterioration of the stove and air conditioner;

They may make you doubt that the filter element is doing its job and will require an unscheduled replacement. In principle, it is these symptoms that should be relied upon when choosing the correct replacement interval.

Suitable sizes

When choosing a filter element, owners do not always use products recommended by the car manufacturer. Everyone has their own reasons for this, some say that the original is unreasonably expensive. Some people in the region sell only analogues, so you need to know the dimensions by which you can choose the following:

• Height: 28 mm
• Width: 200 mm
• Length: 225 mm

As a rule, sometimes analogues for the Kia Rio IV (FB) may be a few millimeters larger or smaller than the original, there is nothing wrong with that. And if the difference is calculated in centimeters, then of course it’s worth looking for another option.

Selecting an original cabin filter

The manufacturer recommends using only original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. They themselves are not of poor quality and are very popular in car dealerships, but their price may seem overpriced to many car owners.

Regardless of the configuration, the manufacturer recommends installing a cabin air filter with item number 97133-D1000 on all fourth-generation Kia Rios (including the restyled version). You can also use the product with article number 97133-D3000, this is a complete analogue of 97133D1000 in quality and size.

Please note that consumables and other replacement parts may sometimes be supplied to dealers with different part numbers. Sometimes this can confuse those who want to purchase the original product.

When choosing between a dusty and carbon product, car owners are advised to use a carbon filter element. This filter is more expensive, but cleans the air much better.

It is not difficult to distinguish it: the paper accordion filter is impregnated with a carbon composition, and therefore has a dark gray color. The filter cleans the air flow from dust, fine dirt, germs, bacteria and enhances lung protection.

Which analogues to choose

In addition to simple cabin filters, there are also carbon filters that filter the air more effectively, but they are more expensive. The advantage of SF carbon fiber is that it does not allow foreign odors from outside (outdoors) to penetrate into the car interior.

But this filter element also has a drawback - air does not pass through it well. GodWill and Corteco carbon filters are quite high quality and are a good replacement for the original.

However, in some retail outlets the price of the original fourth-generation Kia Rio cabin filter can be very high. In this case, it makes sense to buy a non-original consumer product. In particular, cabin filters are considered quite popular:

Conventional cabin dust filters

• Mann Filter CU23019 - technological consumables from a well-known manufacturer
• GB-98028 BIG filter - popular brand, good fine cleaning
• Filter Nevsky NF6548 - Russian manufacturer with an affordable price

Carbon cabin filters

• Mann filter CUK23019/1 - high quality dense carbon spray
• BIG filter GB-98028/C – activated carbon
• Filter Nevsky NF6548C - normal quality, affordable price

It makes sense to take a closer look at the products of other companies - they also specialize in the production of high-quality consumables for cars:

• Corteco
• Filter
• SCT
• Sakura
• Good will
• Fram
• JS Asakashi
• Sample
• Zeckert
• Masuma
• Nipparts
• Purflux
• Knecht Mahle

it is possible that sellers recommend replacing the Rio IV (FB) cabin filter with non-original, inexpensive substitutes with a much smaller thickness. They are not worth buying, since their filtering characteristics are unlikely to be at the proper level.

general information

There were two cabin filter options on the Rio. The first is a metal mesh. You probably won’t see one like this anymore, since it was installed on cars before January 10, 2012. On those machines where it was installed, it has most likely already been replaced with the usual one - paper.

Cabin filter, filter element - metal mesh

You might be asking, what is this all about? The idea was simple and beautiful. Eternal filter. You take it off, wash it and put it back. In practice, it did not take root in our conditions. Couldn't handle the dust. But in some countries this is used.

Starting from January 10, 2012 until the end of production, the most common paper filter was installed, the same for all years of production.

Filter dimensions

To switch from metal to paper, you will need a cabin filter frame and the filter itself.

Frame needed for cabin filter 976174L000

It is also advisable to replace the cabin filter cover. They are a little different. Needed under article number 971291R000. A lid numbered 971292J000 was installed with a metal mesh.

and frame for paper cabin filter 971291R000

The filter itself is made here in Russia: in St. Petersburg at the Doowon plant. Therefore, the original label always says: made in Russia (not in Korea). Once it was expensive, now you can find it from 120 rubles.

Changing the cabin filter of Kia Rio 4

Rio 4

The ease of movement of the Kia Rio 4 is obviously determined by many elements. But there are subtle details to enhance comfort. This includes a cabin filter that filters outside air. Most drivers do not realize how important it is to timely replace the air cleaner, so they rarely change the 2017 Kia Rio 4 cabin filter.

Part of original Hyundai/Kia 97133-D1000.

Why change the cabin filter often?

Kia Rio 4 has air intakes in the body, through which the air mass from the road enters the cabin. In large cities, outdoor air must be purified:

• exhaust gases (more than 200 toxins)
• road dust
• rubber tire microparticles
• dust from worn brake pads
• allergenic pollen
• pathogenic microorganisms.

If all this regularly gets into the lungs, a person gradually develops a decrease in reaction speed, shortness of breath, headache, and oxygen starvation. As a result, chronic respiratory diseases and cancer occur.

The consumable material for air purification in the Kia Rio 4 is capable of trapping approximately 99.5% of all listed pathogens. Provided the part is clean. To keep it working, standard cabin air filter replacement for 2022 Kia Rio 4 and other vehicle years must be done as scheduled or sooner. You can do it yourself, in the garage or on the street.

When is it time to change the interior?

The regulations require replacing the cabin filter in the Kia Rio 4 after 15,000 km. But in some cases this needs to be done more often. For example, if you constantly drive in the summer heat with the windows closed and the air conditioning on. This mode of operation reduces the service life of the part by half.

Spring and autumn are periods with high air humidity. Moisture will also shorten the life of the Kia Rio 4 cabin air filter due to the decomposition of materials.

The third reason for the rapid wear of an air purifier is frequent visits to industrial areas where the filter layers are heavily clogged. In such conditions, the interior consumables may require replacement after 5,000 km.

In such operating conditions of the vehicle, it makes sense to check the Kia Rio 4 cabin filter every 5 thousand km using the speedometer and, if necessary, change it ahead of schedule.

Signs of a clogged cabin filter

The operating instructions for the cabin filter element indicate the standard service life when used under normal conditions. Indeed, consumables become clogged with dirt and prematurely lose their functionality. Therefore, we learn to identify signs of part failure. Let's list them.

• The windshield sweats a lot.
• Even with a carbon filter, unpleasant odors appear in the cabin of the Kia Rio 4.
• The microclimate changes significantly.
• The heating system operates intermittently and temperature fluctuations are observed.
• Ventilation is poor.
• Dust began to quickly settle on the windshield and dashboard.
• The filter element is clearly dirty: gray, brown, black.

There is no point in blowing out the cabin filter or washing it; this part should only be replaced. The low price of consumables allows you to do this often.

Recommendations

1. To replace a Kia cabin filter, it is better to purchase an original one. You can also opt for analogues. In this case, you need to make sure in advance that the new filter element is completely sized.
2. The reason is that it is extremely undesirable to bend, cut or in any way deform the filter element to install it. To avoid such problems, it is better to take the old filter with you and compare it with the new one.

When is it necessary to replace the filter in a Kia Rio?

According to the automaker's recommendations, the cabin filter on a Kia Rio should be replaced at least 2 times a year. However, as practice has shown, the filter element fails much earlier.

It is best to replace the filter element once every three months. The price of these consumables is quite low, so purchasing a filter element four times a year should not be a problem. The average price of a cabin filter ranges from 250 to 450 rubles.

It should be noted that the use of high-quality filter elements will increase the interval between replacements.

Quality filters include the following brands:

• Mann filter;
• Kangguo;
• ADG BLUE PRINT (supplied from factory);
• NIPPART (factory supplied).

Of course, the price of original factory filters is much higher, but they also have a longer service life. The average cost of original filters ranges from 400 to 700 rubles. However, such filter elements should be replaced no more than 2 times a year. If a car with such a filter is mainly used in urban environments, it can be replaced once a year.

Do not forget that when using non-original filter elements, the frequency of their replacement increases.

Replacement process

Can be performed either independently or in specialized centers. The main job is to diagnose the product, and this process is described above. Having removed the filter, install a new one if necessary, then perform the opposite steps to disassembly (described in the “diagnostics” section).

Well, as you yourself have already noticed, replacing the Kia Rio cabin filter is a fairly simple operation that you can do yourself. If you don’t have enough time to replace the filter yourself or you are not confident in yourself, then leave this task to the professionals (they will handle it in 15-30 minutes and no more).

Which filter to choose: original or analogue

Before replacing the fourth generation Kia Rio cabin filter, the driver needs to decide between original and analog spare parts:

• The shelf life of high-quality products is allowed up to one and a half years. If you are planning a quiet and rare excursion around the city, this option is ideal.
• If the issue of replacement does not frighten the car owner, then for the price of an original spare part you can buy several low-quality products and change them every 3-4 months.

Original brands of cleaning elements (some supplied by the factory): NIPPART, Cangoo.

For pre-styling models of 2012 (2009, 2010, 2011), only non-original spare parts for large filtration with codes MANN CU1828, VALEO 698681, TSN 9.7.117 are suitable.

How much does a filter cost?

Replacing the cabin filter of Kia Rio 2016 and 2022 is not considered a general repair. The price ranges from 250 to 500 rubles for a carbon fiber analogue. The cost of one part with deep air purification starts from 600 rubles and reaches 1.5 thousand rubles.

Choosing a cabin for Kia Rio 4

Purifiers targeted at China, not Europe, are supplied to Russia. Article number for cars produced before 2012: 97133-D1000 (length - 22.5 cm, width - 20.5 cm, height - 2.8 cm). The problem is that this cabin filter can only capture coarse dust. Therefore, it makes sense to buy a carbon element.

Carbon filter composition

• ASIN: ASINFC 2753 - regular and ASINFC 2753C - carbon.
• Fortech fs-150c - with coal.
• RU54 CF944C - coal
• KUK 0239 - with coal.

Anti-dust (regular) - base - made of corrugated paper, synthetic or cellulose fibers. Detains small particles, incl. flower pollen is inexpensive. However, it is powerless against unpleasant odors and volatile toxins. The standard replacement period is up to 30,000 km.

Cabin filters: regular dust filter (left) and carbon filter (right)

Carbon - consists of electrified synthetic fibers that stop the smallest (up to 1 micron) dust particles. Neutralizes up to 95% of toxins. Service life is up to 60,000 km, but the price is steep

The process of replacing the cabin filter on Kia Rio 2010-2015

Of course, before starting work you need to purchase a new filter element. Carbon filters are considered the most recommended. Currently, their diversity is very great. Choose according to your taste.

First you need to clear the storage compartment of the front panel of foreign objects.

You have to remove the side plugs.

Now lower the glove box door all the way.

Inside there will be a special shelf for the filter holder with clips on the sides. Squeezing the clips, being careful not to damage the rubber seals, remove it.

Finally, the old filter element can be replaced with a new one. However, don’t be afraid if it doesn’t fit in width. In this case, simply compare the sizes of the filters and cut the purchased one with scissors along one of the edges.

The replacement can be considered complete. All that remains is to put everything in reverse order and enjoy the freshness and purity of the air entering the cabin.

Where is the cabin filter

Of course, this car has had several generations, and the Kia Rio is updated almost every year, but the designers do not change the location of the cabin filter.

It is located behind the glove box (glove box), located on the front passenger's side panel.

In addition, the cabin filter is installed on all Kio Rio models - II and III generations 2010-2015. Of course, there are also substitute shades for models from different years, but they are unimportant and we will talk about them below.

Hi all! The first thing we change in a new car (newly purchased) is, of course, the filter. I changed the air and oil filters. I don’t think anyone will have any questions here. Everything is simple and easy.

And with cabin filters (there are 2 of them) you need to be a little smarter. I already read that someone cut them, but they didn’t fit. So I had the same problem.

So, let's begin. First we remove the glove compartment. I couldn't find instructions on the Internet. I had to figure out how to remove it myself. It turned out to be very simple! You just need to pull it out of the lower mounts. I bent them a little with a flat screwdriver and pulled them towards me. And then it just comes out.

Remove the lid - bend the lower latches. Under the cover are our filters.

We take out the filter. Pull the top one towards you, the bottom one slightly up and towards you. Here they are - dusty, dirty old cabin filters.

I blew out the place where the filters were, and also blew out the heater radiator. I blew dust, birch leaves and other debris out of there.

I blew it out with a blow gun, but it was short and didn’t fit anywhere. Then I took a Movil gun from the same set and blew it everywhere.

And these are the new filters

This is what is written on them

Comparison: new and old filter:

We insert new filters. Oops! Not so! New filters are bigger! Both in length and height a little!

I had to saw off the excess. As you can see in the photo, it was necessary to cut right along the stiffening ribs, which is what I did. The plastic is soft, so I accidentally sawed off the holder on the second filter (which you need to pull when removing it). It's OK. On the old one, too, one thing was cut down. ))

Foam rubber is glued to the new filters for a tight connection. It also had to be torn off, since it did not fit with it.

And only after these manipulations did everything fit. Hooray! )

Then, in reverse order, we put everything back in place. That's all! Thank you all for your attention. All the best and bye to all! ; )

Just like the previous 3rd generation model, the 4th generation Kia Rio has a cabin filter located behind the glove compartment. To get to the filter you will need to dismantle the glove compartment, this is not at all difficult and will take you no more than 20 minutes.

Where is the Rio cabin filter located?

Thanks to the successful design, the cabin filter on a Kia Rio can be replaced by the car owner himself. On the Kia Rio, the position of the cabin filter is as follows: the cabin filter is located on the right side of the panel, behind the glove box. Please note that the filter in the Kia Rio cabin is installed in the same place, regardless of the generation of the car.

For example, a Rio 2 cabin filter or a Kia Rio 3 cabin filter will be installed exclusively behind the glove box, since designers, unlike many other manufacturers, do not change the position of the filter element on new models. However, the procedure for replacing the filter on different generations of Rio is slightly different.

Instructions for replacing the filter yourself

The glove compartment mount on the new generation Rio is different from the previous generation. It seems to me that it became easier to remove it.

On both sides on the sidewalls you can see slots like those in the photo below. To dismantle the glove compartment, you need to press on the walls of the glove compartment at the slots and pull it towards you.

The glove compartment should “go down” and the cabin filter housing will be visible in front of us.

Carefully remove the cover of the filter housing, remember how the old filter is installed and take it out.

We take a new filter, install it in the same way and reassemble it in the reverse order.
