Front air ventilation seat(if equipped)
The air ventilation seats are provided
to cool the front seats by blowing air
through small vent holes on the sur-
face of the seat cushions and seat-
backs.
When the operation of the air ventila-
tion seat is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
While the engine is running, push the
switch to cool the driver's seat or thefront passenger's seat (if equipped). Each time you push the switch, the
airflow changes as follows:
When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the air venti-lation seat operating, the operation
will turn OFF.
The air v entilation seats def aults to
the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is placed to the ONposition.
To prevent damage to the air ven-tilation seat:
Use the air ventilation seat ONLY when the climate control system
is on. Using the air ventilation
seat for prolonged periods of
time with the climate control sys-tem off could cause the air venti-lation seat to malfunction. Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gaso-
line to clean the seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the sur- face of the front seats and seat-
backs; this may cause the air vent
holes to become blocked and not
work properly.
Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. They may block the airintake causing the air vents to not
work properly.
Do not change the seat covers. It may damage the air ventilationseat.
If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, we recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.NOTICE

Information
 The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 8.
 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
 On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank.
Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuelcould cause the engine to misfire
damaging the catalytic converter.Outside temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures either in
Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit.
- Temperature range : -40°C ~ 60°C (-104°F ~ 140°F)
The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not immediately change
like a general thermometer not to
distract the driver.
The temperature unit (from °C to °F
or from °F to °C) can be changed by:
- User Settings mode in the Cluster : You can change the temperature
unit in the “Other Features -
Temperature unit” . - Automatic climate control system :
While pressing the OFF button,
press the AUTO button for 3 sec-
onds or more.
The temperature unit of the instrumentcluster and climate control system will
change at once.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.
NOTICE
i
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possibleafter the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the “0 or
E(Empty)” level.

Temperature control (2)
The temperature will increase by turn-
ing the knob to the right. The tempera-
ture will decrease by turning the knobto the left.
Air intake control (7)
This is used to select outside (fresh) air position or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control posi-
tion, press the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated airposition selected, air from
the passenger compart-
ment will be drawnthrough the heating sys-tem and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air posi-
tion
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air
enters the vehicle from outside and is heated orcooled according to thefunction selected. Information
Using the system in the fresh air posi-
tion is recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) can cause
fogging of the windshield and side win-
dows 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 com-
partment.
Fan speed control (1)
Turn the knob to the right to increase
the fan speed and airflow. Turn the
knob to the left to decrease fan
speed and airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to
the “0” position turns off the fan. Operating the fan speed when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the fan speedwhen the engine is running.
NOTICE
i
Continued climate control system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allowhumidity to increase inside
the vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued climate control sys-
tem operation in the recirculat-ed 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 driving.

System maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the
glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehiclethrough the heating and air condi-tioning system.
We recommend that the climate con-
trol air filter be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule. If
the vehicle is being driven in severeconditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent climate controlfilter inspections and changes arerequired.If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, we recommend the system be
checked at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used. Otherwise, damageto the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and com-
pressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
reduces the performance of the airconditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

used. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the vehicle and per-sonal inju
