2. Set the air intake control to theoutside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
Heating
1. Select the Floor Level mode.
2. Set the air intake control to theoutside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.

Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the car through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircu-
lated air position. Return the con-trol to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed. This will
help keep the driver alert and com-
fortable.
To prevent the inside of the wind- shield 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 desired temperature.

Air conditioning
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning
Systems are filled with environmen-
tally friendly R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the mode to the Face Levelmode.
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 theair 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 fanspeed 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 trafficwhen outside temperatures are
high. Air conditioning system
operation can cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blow-
er fan, but turn the air condition-ing system off if the engine tem-
perature 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 therecirculated air to the fresh outsideair position. To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the airconditioning system with the win-
dows 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 excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside airand 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
pollutants that enter the vehiclethrough the heating and air condi-tioning system.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent air condi-tioner filter inspections and changesare required.If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative influence on the airconditioning 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, damageto the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur. The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

For maximum defrosting, set the
temperature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speedcontrol to the highest speed.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, setthe mode to the floor-defrost posi-tion.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, 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 effi-ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up the inside of the wind-shield.
If the engine temperature is still
cold after starting, then a brief
engine warm up period may be
required for the vented air flow tobecome warm or hot.Manual Climate Control System
To defog inside windshield
1. Select any fan speed except “0” position.

NOTICE
Windshield heating
Do not use the or posi- tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-ature of the outside air and thatof the windshield could causethe outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, causing loss ofvisibility could cause an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
