Power Windows
The Engine Start/Stop button must be
in the ON position to be able to raise
or lower the windows. Each door has a
Power Window switch to control that
door’s window. The driver has a Power
Window Lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ACC or
OFF position. However, if the front doors
are opened, the Power Windows will
not operate even within the 30 second
period.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, do not
extend your head, arms or body outside
the windows while driving.
Information

[In cold and wet climates, power
windows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.

[ While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped)
opened (or partially opened), your
vehicle may demonstrate a wind
buffeting or pulsation noise. This
noise is normal and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with one
or both of the rear windows down,
partially lower both front windows
approximately one inch. If you
experience the noise with the sunroof
open, slightly close the sunroof.
Window opening and closing
OOS047018

other than the AUTO button. In this case,
the system works sequentially according
to the order of buttons selected. When
pressing any button except the AUTO
button while using automatic operation,
the functions not selected will be

Convenient Features5-78
Air intake control (9)
This is used to select the outside (fresh)
air position or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control position,
push the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from
the passenger compartment
will be drawn through the
heating 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 position 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 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.

speeds.
Pressing the OFF button turns off the fan.
NOTICE

[Operating the fan when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON
position could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the fan when the
engine is running.

[ For better sound quality, fan speed
may automatically slow down for a
couple of minutes when you activate
voice recognition or hands free.
Air conditioning (4)
Push the A/C button to manually turn the
system on (indicator light will illuminate)
and off.

Operation Tips

[ T
o help keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set the
air intake control to the recirculated
air position. Be sure to return the
control to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed to keep fresh
air in the vehicle. This will help keep
the driver alert and comfortable.

[ To prevent interior fog on the
windshield, set the air intake control
to the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust the
temperature control to the desired
temperature.

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.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
position during
cooling operation in extremely humid
weather. 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 could cause
an accident resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the mode
selection button to the
position
and fan speed control knob to a lower
speed.

[ For maximum defrost performance,
set the temperature control to the
highest temperature setting and
the fan speed control to the highest
setting.

[ If warm air to the floor is desired while
defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.

[ Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
side view mirrors, and all side
windows.

[ Clear all snow and ice from the
hood and air inlet in the cowl grill
to improve heater and defroster
efficiency and to reduce the
probability of fogging up the inside of
the windshield.
NOTICE
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, then a brief engine warm
up period may be required for the
vented air flow to become warm or hot.
