Heating and Air Conditioning
1. Start the engine.
2. Set the mode to the desired position.
To improve the effectiveness of
heating and cooling, select:
- Heating:
- Cooling:
3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the air intake control to the out-
side (fresh) air or recirculated air
position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the
desired speed.
6. If air conditioning is desired, turn
the air conditioning system on.
When starting the vehicle in cold
weather a more efficient way to heat
the passenger compartment is to do
the following.
- Turn off or lower the blower, right
after starting the engine.
Engine temperature is still low and
the air flow from the heater is still
cold.
- After a few minutes of engine warm
up, turn on or set the fan to a high-
er level and adjust the temperature
setting to hot.
Mode selection
OHCR046365/OYC046322
The mode selection knob controls the direction of the air flow through the
ventilation system. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or
windshield. Five symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-
Defrost and Defrost air position.

Face-Level (B, D)
Air flow is directed toward the upper
body and face. Additionally, each
outlet can be controlled to direct the
air discharged from the outlet.
Bi-Level (B, C, D, E)
Air flow is directed towards the face
and the floor.
Floor-Level (A, C, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the air
being directed to the windshield, side
window defrosters, and side vents.
Floor & Defrost
(A, C, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor and the windshield with a small
amount directed to the side window
defrosters, and side vents.
Defrost-Level (A, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
windshield with a small amount of air
directed to the side vents.MAX A/C-Level (B, D)
(if equipped)
The MAX A/C mode is used to cool
the inside of the vehicle faster.
In this mode, the air conditioning and
the recirculated air position cannot be
selected. Turn the fan speed mode to
adjust.
After the interior has cooled suffi-
ciently, whenever possible, move the
temperature knob away from Max AC
and press the A/C button.

Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air
position selected, air
from the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the heat-
ing system and heated
or cooled according to
the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh)
air position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Information
Using the system in the fresh air posi-
tion is recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) can cause
fogging of the windshield and side
windows and the air within the pas-
senger compartment will become
stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger com-
partment.
i
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position
can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, that may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible while driving.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position
(without the air conditioning
selected) may allow humidity
to increase inside the vehicle
which may fog the glass and
obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with
the air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous injury or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.

Fan speed control
Turn the knob to the right to increase
the fan speed and airflow. Turn the
knob to the left to decrease fan
speed and airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to
the "0" position turns off the fan.
Operating the fan speed when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the fan speed
when the engine is running.
Air conditioning (if equipped)
Push the A/C button to turn the sys-
tem on (indicator light will illuminate)
and off.

Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Return the
control to the fresh air position
when the irritation has passed.
This will help keep the driver alert
and comfortable.
To help prevent the inside of the
windshield from fogging, set the air
intake control to the fresh air posi-
tion and fan speed to the desired
position, turn on the air conditioning
system, and adjust the temperature
control to the desired temperature.
Air conditioning
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning
Systems are filled with environmen-
tally friendly R-1234yf refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the mode to the Face Level
mode.
4. Set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. However,
prolonged operation of the recircu-
lated air position will excessively
dry the air. In this case, change the
air position.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
extreme left position then set the fan
speed control to the highest speed.When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation can
cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan, but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the engine temperature gauge
indicates engine overheating.

Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside
air position.
To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air con-
ditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
If you operate air conditioner exces-
sively, the difference between the
temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the windshield
to fog up, causing loss of visibility.
In this case, set the mode selection
knob or button to the position
and fan speed control to the lower
speed.
System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollu-
tants that enter the vehicle through the
heating and air conditioning system.
Have the climate control air filter be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is being driven
in severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent air condi-
tioner filter inspections and changes
are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and com-
pressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
reduces the performance of the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used. Otherwise, damage
to the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur. To
prevent damage, the air condition-
ing system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.

Air Conditioning refrigerant label
You can find out which air condition-
ing refrigerant is applied to your vehi-
cle on the label located inside of the
hood.Each symbols and specification on
the air conditioning refrigerant label
is represented as below:
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of compressor lubri-
cant
4. Caution
5. Flammable refrigerant
6. To require registered technician to
service air conditioning system
OHYK059001 ■Example
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Since the refrigerant is
mildly flammable and
operated at high pres-
sure, the air condition-
ing system should only
be serviced by trained
and certified techni-
cians. It is important
that the correct type and amount
of oil and refrigerant are used.
All refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individu-
als and environment. Failure to
heed these warnings can lead to
serious injuries.
