To ensure that there is always clean air inside the car, it is necessary to regularly check and replace the cabin filter. One of the important roles in the structure of the air ventilation system of the car interior is played by the filter. Using it, you can ensure that there is clean and fresh air in the car interior. In the material below you can learn how to correctly install the air element and what device to replace the original product in a Kia Ceed car.
Cabin filter device
Automakers have fairly stringent requirements, achieving almost 100% filtering of harmful gases and particles. Depending on the design, the cabin air filter can be one-, two-, three- or four-layer.
- The first layer is made of non-woven synthetic material collected in an accordion—it traps the largest particles up to 10 microns in size.
- The second layer is electrostatic; it traps very small particles.
- The third layer consists of activated carbon, which prevents unpleasant odors and harmful gases from entering the cabin.
- The last layer performs the final cleaning of the air entering the cabin.
Coal
Important! Cheaper models may not have a carbon absorbent layer, which significantly reduces the performance of the cabin filter. It is worth buying only high-quality products coated with a special coating to repel and stop the development of microflora on the surface of the material. Global manufacturers, as a rule, give preference to four-layer devices, since they are the ones that are able to protect the car interior as much as possible.

Selecting a cabin filter
An original cabin air filter for a KIA SID car at a dealership costs about 1,000 rubles. However, today the automobile market offers many models that are in no way inferior to the original. The choice must be made based on the requirements of the vehicle ventilation system.
When does the filter element need to be changed more often?
The main reasons for replacing the cabin filter on a Kia Sid 2010 before undergoing maintenance:
- An accumulation of plant leaves, flower particles, grass, which rot at high humidity, and due to the horizontal position of the filter, the particles quickly penetrate the curtain, then replacement is required.
- Regular travel on an unpaved roadway: the accumulation of dirt and dust penetrating into the Kia Sid filter product quickly clogs all the pores, which is further aggravated during the horizontal installation process.
- If the filter is mounted vertically, then dust falls from the curtain deep into the compartment, remaining inside the product.
Choosing a cabin filter for Kia Sid 1
When choosing cabin filters for a 2011 Kia Sid , drivers rarely choose original ones. Everyone has their own reasons for this: for one, the “native” filter element for the Kia Sid is more expensive, while for another, they have the opportunity to buy only an analogue, but for this you need to know the dimensions:
- length: 240 mm;
- height: 20 mm;
- width: 195 mm.
Typically, analogues for the Kia Ceed 1 ED are 3-5 mm larger or smaller compared to the original model, and this is normal. And if they differ in centimeters, then you will need to find another option.
Original articles
The manufacturer recommends buying only original models for replacement , but their cost may be too high for Kia Sid owners.
- For any modifications of the 1st generation Kia Ceed , in particular restyled versions, it is better to install a cabin filter 97133-2H000 or an original consumable with 97133-1E100, which is almost completely similar in size and even the stiffeners are on the short side, this is a complete analogue.
- And there are other parts from Hyundai/Kia: 971330Z000 and 971332H001, which have stiffeners located along the long part.
- Consumables for Kia Sid are often supplied to dealerships under various article numbers.
Experienced owners of Kia Ceed cars recommend purchasing a carbon filter, which is more expensive than an anti-dust filter, but cleans more efficiently.

To begin, the owner sits in the front passenger seat, opposite the glove box, to get to the place where the replacement will be made, then does the following:
- He opens the glove compartment and empties it.
- Squeezes plastic elements (the so-called antennae), removes the limiting element - microlift.
- There are locking plugs located in different parts on the side walls of the glove compartment - turn them at an angle of 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction, pull them out and lower the glove compartment down.

Arrows on the filter product indicate the position of the part during installation. More on this below.
Which side to install
Designations that you pay attention to when installing a cabin filter on the Kia Sid ED 20010 1st generation :
- A regular arrow shows how the air flow moves.
- The "UP" arrow points to the top of the element.
- If the flow goes in the “top-to-bottom” direction , then the edges of the filter element should be of the following type – ////.
- The arrow and caption AIR FLOW shows which direction the flow is moving. If it is directed “bottom-up”, then the limiting parts should have the following form – ////.
In the 1st generation Kia Ceed, the flow runs in a top-down direction.
DIY antibacterial treatment
Having installed a new element (in the direction of the arrow - down!) on the 2011 Kia Sid , you can begin assembly in the opposite direction. But once a year, as a preventive measure, it is recommended to combine and carry out antibacterial treatment to avoid unpleasant odor from the vent.
Reasons for replacing the filter
One of the main reasons why the cabin air filter of a KIA LED car is replaced is dirt and dust accumulated on the surface of the filter element.
A worn filter severely contaminates the car's upholstery and plastic panels, and a gray coating may appear on the surface of the windshield, which significantly impairs visibility. The problem of poor ventilation of the heating furnace and constant fogging of the windows can also be solved by simply replacing the cabin filter. Severe contamination or complete blockage of the air filter leads to the fact that the concentration of dirt and allergens in the cabin can exceed similar indicators in the environment by 6 times.
Important! Bacteria and microorganisms accumulated on the surface of dirty material enter the car interior through air ducts, which can cause damage to the health of people with weakened immune systems, as well as children and the elderly. There are often cases when attacks of an allergic reaction became the cause of road accidents.
Frequency of replacement of cabin filters
The actual service life of the cabin filter depends on many factors, for example, in smoky cities with high traffic intensity, replacement may be required after 6,000 km. Operating a vehicle in the suburbs on good roads allows you to change the cabin filter every 15-20 thousand km.
According to the regulations, the cabin filter must be replaced at least once a year or after 8-10 thousand mileage.
Important! The cabin filter cannot be repaired or restored, since any treatment leads to damage to the internal structure of the filter element.
