Features of your vehicle98 3Side impact air bags (if equipped)
Side impact air bags (side and/or curtain
air bags) are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision sen-
sors depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a side
impact collision or rollover.Although the front air bags (driver’s and
front passenger’s air bags) are designed
to inflate only in frontal collisions, they
also may inflate in other types of colli-
sions if the front impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact. Side impact air bags
(side and/or curtain air bags) are
designed to inflate only in side impact
collisions, but they may inflate in other
collisions if the side impact sensors
detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-
faces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.
To protect occupants, front air bags or
pre-tensioner seat belts may deploy in
certain side impact collisions.
Air bag non-inflation conditions In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts
in such collisions.

NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated air
position will cause fogging of the wind-
shield 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 exces-
sively dry air in the passenger compart-
ment.
Temperature control knobThe temperature control knob allows you
to control the temperature of the air flow-
ing from the ventilation system. To
change the air temperature in the pas-
senger compartment, turn the knob to
the WARM position for warm and hot air
or COOL position for cooler air.
Turn the left knob to control the driver
side air temperature.
Turn the right knob to control the pas-
senger side air temperature.
WARNING
Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with 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 driv-
ing.

front climate control system operation.
However, the front climate control system
should be operated together for rear air
conditioning as follows;
1. Set the front fan speed to the desired
position.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the rear temperature, fan speed
and mode to the desired position.
Rear fan speed controlFrom front seat
Set the rear fan speed control (REAR)
knob in the front climate control panel to
the desired position (except R and 0
positions).
To change the rear fan speed, turn the
knob to the right for higher speed or left
for lower speed.
Setting the knob to the OFF(0) position
turns off the rear fan.From rear seat
Set the rear fan speed control (REAR)
knob in the front climate control panel to
the R position and set the rear fan speed
control knob on the rear control panel to
the desired position.
To change the rear fan speed, turn the
knob to the right for higher speed or left

Setting the knob to the OFF(0) position
turns off the rear fan.

If the windshield fogs up, set the mode
to the or position.
Air conditioning (if equipped) All Hyundai Air Conditioning Systems
use R-134a refrigerant which is not dam-
aging to the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-
tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside
air or recirculated air position.
4. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the
desired speed.
6. Adjust the fan speed control and tem-
perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature control to the COOL
position, set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position, then set the
fan speed control to the highest speed.
CAUTION
When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the blower fan by
turning the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the engine temperature
gauge indicates engine overheat-
ing.
When opening the windows in
humid weather, the air condition-
ing system may cause condensa-
tion inside the vehicle. Since
excessive condensation (water)
may cause damage to electrical
equipment, the air conditioning
should only be run with the win-
dows closed.

Features of your vehicle148 3Air 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.
To help reduce moisture inside of win-
dows on rainy humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-
ating the air conditioning system.
During air conditioning system opera-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles on.
This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
Use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice water dripping (or
puddling) on the ground under the
passenger side of the vehicle. This is a
normal system operation characteris-
tic.
Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has negative
result on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. Improper service
may cause serious injury.
CAUTION
When the performance of the air
conditioning system is reduced it is
important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the
compressor and abnormal system
operation may occur.

Features of your vehicle150 3Automatic operationThe automatic climate control system is
controlled by simply setting the desired
temperature.
The Full Automatic Temperature Control
(FATC) system automatically controls the
heating and cooling system as follows;
1. Push the AUTO button. It is indicated
by AUTO on the display. The modes,
fan speeds, air intake and air-condi-
tioning will be controlled automatically
by the temperature setting.2. Push the TEMP button to set the
desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the lowest
setting LO (62°F/17°C), the air condi-
tioning system will operate continu-
ously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off,
press any button except the tempera-
ture control button. If you press the
mode selection button, air-conditioning
button, defrost button, air intake con-
trol button or fan speed knob, the
selected function will be controlled
manually while other functions operate
automatically.
Regardless of the temperature setting,
when using automatic operation, the air
conditioning system can automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.
