Exhaust gas cutoff mode :
Air enters the vehicle from the outside. But if exhaust gas enters the vehicle from the outside, the exhaust gas cutoff mode ( ) is automa tically converted to the mode, to
prevent exhaust gas from entering the vehicle. NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged opera- tion of the heating system in recirculationmode ( ) will give rise to misting ofthe windshield and side windows and theair within the passenger compartment willbecome stale. In addition, prolonged useof the air conditioning with the recircula-
tion mode ( ) selected may result in the air within the passenger compartmentbecoming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON" the air intake control will change to "Fresh" mode (regardless of the switch position).This is normal operation. The air intakecontrol operates in "AUTO" mode whenturning the ignition to the ON position ifthe "AUTO" mode was used before shut-ting off the engine.
CAUTION:If the windows fog up with the Recirculationor A.Q.S mode selected, set the air intakecontrol to the Fresh air position or A.Q.Scontrol to "OFF".
With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from within the passenger compartment will be drawnthrough the heating system and heated or cooledaccording to the function selected. NOTE:
o It should be noted that prolonged opera- tion of the heating system in "recircula-tion" mode will give rise to fogging of thewindshield and side windows and the airwithin the passenger compartment willbecome stale. In addition, prolonged useof the air conditioning with the "Recircu-lation" mode selected may result in the airwithin the passenger compartment be-coming excessively dry.
o When the ignition switch is turned "ON" the air intake control will change to " "mode (regardless of switch position). Thisis normal operation. The air intake controloperates in "AUTO" mode when turningthe ignition to the ON position if the"AUTO" mode was used before shuttingoff the engine.
This is used to select fresh outside air or recircu- late inside air automatically.

B740D01A-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot airout.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioner off to avoid the possibility of the engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioner is not used regularly, run theair conditioner once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operatingcondition.

IonosphereFM reception
SSAR010A
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city. Theyare intercepted by the radio antenna on your car.This signal is then received by the radio and sentto your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures the best possible quality repro-duction. However, in some cases the signalcoming to your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as thedistance from the radio station, closeness ofother strong radio stations or the presence ofbuildings, bridges or other large obstructions inthe area. AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-tances than FM broadcasts. This is because AMradio waves are transmitted at low frequencies.These long, low frequency radio waves canfollow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions so thatthey can provide better signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-cies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.Because of this, FM broadcasts generally beginto fade at short distances from the station. Also,FM signals are easily affected by buildings, moun-tains, or other obstructions. These can result incertain listening conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with your radio. Thefollowing conditions are normal and do not indi-cate radio trouble:

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you heara change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhau st
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in yourgarage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with
the air intake set at "Fresh" and the fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents.3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
