If the air flow rate suddenly decreas
es, we recommend the system be
checked at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and com
pressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a bad influence on the air condi
tioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
It is important that the correct type
and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com
pressor and abnormal system opera
tion may occur. We recommend the air conditioning
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.i
Because the refriger
ant is at very high pres
sure, the air condition
ing system should only
be serviced by trained
and certified technicians. It is
important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is
used, otherwise damage to the
vehicle and personal injury may
occur.
