conditioning selected) can cause fogging of
the windshield and side windows and the
air within the passenger compartment will
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in excessively
dry air in the passenger compartment.
WARNING

[ Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position 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 serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or
body temperature.

[ Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness
or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.

Information
Your vehicle is filled with R1234yf
according to the regulation in your
country at the time of production. You can
find out which air conditioning refrigerant
is applied to your vehicle on the label
located inside of the hood. Refer to chapter
8 for the location of the air conditioning
refrigerant label.
NOTICE

[ The refrigerant system should only
be serviced by trained and certified
technicians to insure proper and safe
operation.

[ The refrigerant system should be
serviced in a well-ventilated place.

[ The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) shall never be repaired
or replaced with one removed from
a used or salvaged vehicle and new
replacement MAC evaporators shall
be certified (and labeled) as meeting
SAE Standard J2842.
NOTICE

[When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high.
Air conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan but turn the
air conditioning system off if the
temperature gauge indicates engine
overheating.

[ When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets
may cause damage to electrical
equipment, air conditioning should
only be used with the windows
closed.

Air conditioning system operation tips

[If the v
ehicle 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
conditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.

[ Use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.

[ If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, 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 button to
the
position and set the fan speed
control knob to the lowest speed
setting.
System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
OIK047401L[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The cabin air filter is installed behind
the glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehicle through
the heating and air conditioning system.
Have the cabin air filter 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
climate control filter inspections and
changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
have the system checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
