Seat cooler (if equipped)
The seat cooler is provided to cool the
front seats during hot weather by blowing
air through small vent hole on the surface
of the seats and seatbacks. While the
engine is running, push the rear portion
of the switch to cool the driver's seat or
the front passenger's seat (if equipped).
When the operation of the seat cooler is
not needed, keep the switches in the
OFF position.• Each time you push the switch, the air-
flow is changed as follows:
• When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the seat cooler
operating, the seat cooler will turn
OFF.
• The seat cooler defaults to the OFF
position whenever the engine start/
stop button is turned to the ON posi-
tion.

CAUTION
• The seat cooler is a supplemen-
tary cooling system. Use the cli-
mate control seat when the cli-
mate control system is on. Using
the climate control seat for pro-
longed periods of time with the
climate control system off could
cause the climate control seat
performance to impair.
• When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the seats.
• Do not spill liquid such as water
or beverages on the surface of
the front seats and seatbacks, or
the air vent holes may be blocked
and prevented from working
properly.
• Do not place materials such as
plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. The air vent may not
work properly as the air intake
can be blocked.
• When the air vent does not oper-
ate, restart the vehicle. If there is
no change, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

may be weaker than the instrument
panel vents for the long air duct in the
front doors.
• Close the air vents in cold weather. The
air flow of the Rear outlet vents may
cool a little during heating operation.
(Use the Rear outlet vents during cool-
ing operation.)
