recirculated air position (without airconditioning selected) may cause fog-ging of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger com-partment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air con-
ditioning with the recirculated air posi-
tion selected will result in excessively dry
air in the passenger compartment.

Be sure to return the control to the
fresh air position when the irritation
has passed to keep fresh air in the

alert and comfortable.
 Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
 To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature.

Features of your vehicle
 When using the air conditioning sys-tem, you may notice clear water drip- 
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
 Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
 During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristics. D230300AEN 
Climate control air filter  (if equipped) The climate control air filter installed 
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-cle from the outside through the heating
and air conditioning system. If dust or
other pollutants accumulate in the filter
over a period of time, the air flow from the
air vents may decrease, resulting in
moisture accumulation on the inside of
the windshield even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.✽✽

Checking the amount of air con- 
ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant 
When the amount of refrigerant is low, 
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negativeimpact on the air conditioning system. 
Therefore, if abnormal operation is 
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
✽✽
NOTICE
It is important when servicing the air 
conditioning system that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrigerant isused. Otherwise, damage to the com-
pressor and abnormal system operation
may occur. 
WARNING
The air conditioning system should 
be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper service
may cause serious injury to the
person performing the service.
