Climate control seat (if equipped)
The climate control seat is provided to
cool or warm the front seats during hot or
cold 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), and push the front
portion of the switch to warm the driver’s
seat or the front passenger’s seat (if
equipped).
When the operation of the climate control
seat 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 climate con-
trol seat operating, the climate control
seat will turn OFF.
• The climate control seat defaults to the
OFF position whenever the ignition
switch is turned on.
OBH038009L
CAUTION
• The climate control seat is a sup-
plementary cooling/heating sys-
tem. Use the climate control seat
when the climate control system
is on. Using the climate control
seat for prolonged periods of time
with the climate control system
off could cause the climate con-
trol 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.OFF→HIGH( )→MIDDLE( )→LOW( )
