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, we recommend that the climate
control air filter be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Auto defogging system 
(Only for automatic climate controlsystem, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility of 
fogging up the inside of the windshield by automatically sensing the moisture of inside the windshield. 
The auto defogging system operates when the climate control system is on. This indicator illuminates
when the auto defoggingsystem senses the moistureof inside the windshield and
operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, higher
steps operate as follow. 
Step 1 : Operating the air conditioning  
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step  3  : Blowing air flow toward the wind- shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto 
defogging system, it is automatically acti-
vated when the conditions are met.
However, if you would like to cancel the
auto defogging system, press the front
defroster button 4 times within 2 seconds
while pressing the AUTO button. The
indicator will blink 3 times to notify you
that the system is cancelled. To use the
auto defogging system again, follow the
procedures mentioned above. 
If the battery has been disconnected or 
discharged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the A/C off is manually selected while the auto defogging system is on, the auto
defogging indicator will blink 3 times to
give notice that the A/C off can not beselected.

Driving your vehicle
In the event of brake failure 
If service brakes fail to operate while the 
vehicle is in motion, you can make an
emergency stop with the parking brake.
The stopping distance, however, will be
much greater than normal.
Disc brakes wear indicator 
Your vehicle has disc brakes. 
When your brake pads are worn and new 
pads are required, you will hear a high-
pitched warning sound from your front
brakes or rear brakes. You may hear this
sound come and go or it may occur
whenever you depress the brake pedal. 
Please remember that some driving con- 
ditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when you first apply (or lightly
apply) the brakes. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
WARNING- Parking brake
Applying the parking brake while 
the vehicle is moving at normal
speeds can cause a sudden loss of
control of the vehicle. If you mustuse the parking brake to stop the
vehicle, use great caution in apply-
ing the brake.
WARNING - Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound 
means your vehicle needs service.
If you ignore this audible warning,
you will eventually lose braking
performance, which could lead to aserious accident.
CAUTION
 To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
 Always replace brake pads as complete front or rear axle sets.
