MILDEW!!!
Your dealer can run some cleaner through the system to alleviate it. You can use something like Fabreze to help with the smell but it won't be permanent.
One of the best ways to prevent it is by turning off your AC (defrost too) and turning your blower on high about a block before you end your trip (like coming home or getting to your work place) -- this will reduce the amount of water in your AC system (from the condensation on the evaporator). That water promotes the growth of the mildew.
This is common to all cars -- not just Kia.
