Kia Cee'd: Troubleshooting / Cluster Ionizer Description and operation

The cluster ionizer makes disinfection and decomposition of bad smell from the air-conditioner or inflow air. And it cleans the inside air of a vehicle.

When running an air-conditioner or heater, it starts with "CLEAN" mode and repeats from "CLEAN" mode to "ION" mode and from "ION" mode to "CLEAN" mode every 15 minutes.

In the “CLEAN” mode, the cluster ionizer generates negative ions and positive ions and makes disinfection and decomposition of bad smell from the air-conditioner or inflow air.

It has an operation indicator lamp on the display area and shows whether it is operating or not.
