The dash has to be removed to access the air filters. You are going to have to take to the dealer.

You May Just Want To Start By Removing The Battery Terminals And Cleaning Them With A Wire Brush And Baking Soda. It Will Reset Your Dash Lights As Well. A Small Short Can Drain A Battery In A Night.

On American designed charging system that is true if you disconnect the battery the engine will run as long as the alternator is good. On Asian designed auto electrical systems that is not the case, the battery must be connected or the engine will stall, the reason is the way the system is wired, try a Honda or Toyota, the same result as your Kia. Have the battery and Alternator tested by a local parts store like Autozone or just buy or borrow a cheap volt meter, the Alternator should put out at least 12.8 to 14.2 volts (I'd be concerned if output is at the lower end as it may indicate a defective diode in the Alternator)at about 1000 RPM. Hope this helps.
