The pollen filter is located in front of the blower unit behind the glove box. It operates to decrease pollutants entering the car and to filter the air. CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles oronce a year. If the car is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty, roughroads, more frequent air filter inspec-tions and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly de- creased, it must be checked at anHyundai authorised repairer.

Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning system, keep all windows closed to keephot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases enginespeed, which in turn increases the speedof the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engineover-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly,run the air conditioning once every monthfor a few minutes. This will help circulatethe lubricants and keep your system inpeak operating condition.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre- quency and do not bend to follow the earth'ssurface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-erally begin to fade at short distances from thestation. Also, FM signals are easily affected bybuildings, mountains, or other obstructions.These can result in certain listening conditionswhich might lead you to believe a problemexists with your radio. The following conditionsare normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city.They are intercepted by the radio antenna onyour car. This signal is then received by theradio and sent to your car speakers.When a strong radio signal has reached yourvehicle, the precise engineering of your audiosystem ensures high quality reproduction. How-ever, in some cases the signal coming to yourvehicle is not strong and clear. This can be dueto factors such as the distance from the radiostation, closeness of other strong radio stationsor the presence of buildings, bridges and otherlarge obstructions in the area.

AM reception
AM broadcasts can be received at greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is becauseAM radio waves are transmitted at low fre-quency. These long, low frequency radio wavescan follow the curvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight out into the atmosphere. Inaddition, they curve around obstructions sothat they can provide better signal coverage.
