Applicable engines may include:

• 2.4L four-cylinder

Potential trim applications include LX, EX and SX; however, trim level and engine size alone do not guarantee compatibility. The original HVAC equipment and part number must match.

Kia’s detailed catalog lists a production range of approximately September 2013 through November 2015, corresponding to the 2014–2016 model-year application.

Required Vehicle Equipment

The vehicle must have:

• Factory manual air conditioning

• Rotary temperature and fan controls

• Timed rear-window defogger

• Matching NON PTC configuration

• Matching front-panel design

• Matching electrical connectors

• Matching mounting points

• OEM part number 97250-3W220 or a verified replacement number

Not Compatible With

• Digital automatic climate control

• Dual-zone automatic A/C systems

• Earlier 2011–2013 Sportage control panels

• Other Kia models shown in the current eBay compatibility table

• Vehicles with different connectors or PTC-heater equipment

• Automatic-control part number 97250-3W330BLH

Part-Number Differences

• 97250-3W220: Manual A/C control with timed rear defogger

• 97250-3W330BLH: Digital dual-zone automatic A/C control

These parts serve different HVAC configurations and should not be considered interchangeable.

Important Listing Correction

The current eBay compatibility table includes unrelated Kia Sportage, Sorento, Optima, Cadenza and Forte applications. Those broad compatibility entries are not supported by the researched OEM part number.

The listing should be restricted to the 2014–2016 Kia Sportage with the matching manual A/C and NON PTC configuration. Compatibility should be based on the original part number and control layout—not eBay’s generic vehicle table.

The item should also be described as a manual HVAC control rather than an automatic climate-temperature control.

Condition

Pre-owned OEM component. Normal cosmetic wear, light scratches, dust or surface marks may be present from previous installation, removal and storage. Review all photographs carefully for the exact condition of the knobs, buttons, symbols, housing, connectors and mounting points.

What Is Included

• One Kia OEM manual HVAC control assembly

• Attached housing and components shown in the listing photographs

No wiring harness, dashboard trim, sensors, mounting hardware or additional HVAC components are included unless specifically pictured.

Installation

Designed as a direct replacement for a vehicle with the same equipment and part number. Installation requirements can vary, so professional installation is recommended. Do not purchase this unit to convert an automatic climate-control system to manual operation.

Buyer Verification

Before ordering, compare the following with the original control:

• Complete OEM part number

• Manual versus automatic A/C configuration

• NON PTC designation

• Knob and button arrangement

• Rear electrical connectors

• Housing and mounting points

VIN verification through a Kia dealer or qualified parts specialist is recommended when the original part number cannot be read clearly.
