Information
Operating the system primarily in
Fresh mode is recommended. Use
Recirculation mode temporarily only
when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the
A/C ON can cause fogging of the wind-
shield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
Fan speed control (8)
The fan speed can be set as desired
by pushing the fan speed control but-
ton.
More air is delivered with higher fan
speeds.
Pressing the OFF button turns off the
fan.
Information
For better sound quality, fan speed
may automatically slow down for a
couple of minutes when you activate
voice recognition or hands free.
Operating the fan when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position
could cause the battery to dis-
charge. Operate the fan when the
engine is running.
NOTICE
i
i
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode for a pro-
longed period of time may
cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This
may lead to loss of vehicle
control which may lead to an
accident.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode with the
A/C OFF may allow humidity
to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the wind-
shield and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle
with the windows up and
either the heater or the air
conditioning ON for pro-
longed periods of time. Doing
so may increase the levels of
carbon dioxide in the cabin
which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircu-
lation mode. Return the control to
the to fresh mode when the
unpleasant air outside has dimin-
ished. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
To help prevent the inside of the
windshield from fogging, set the air
intake control to fresh mode and
the fan speed to the desired posi-
tion, turn on the air conditioning
system, and adjust the temperature
control to the desired temperature.
Air conditioning
Your HYUNDAI vehicle air condition-
ing system is filled with R-134a
refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the air conditioning button.
3. Select the Face Level mode.4. Set the air intake control to
Recirculation mode temporarily to
allow the cabin to cool quickly.
When the desired temperature in
the cabin is reached, change the
air intake control back to Fresh
mode.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
MAX A/C position, then set the fan
speed control to the highest setting.
When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic
when outside temperatures. Air
conditioning system operation
when climbing a steep grade or in
high outside ambient tempera-
tures can cause engine overheat-
ing. Continue to use the fan, but
turn the air conditioning system
off if the engine temperature
gauge indicates engine overheat-
ing.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from recircu-
lation mode to fresh mode.
To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
If you operate air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button to
the position and fan speed
control to the lower speed.

System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The cabin air filter is installed behind
the glove box. It filters the dust or
other pollutants that enter the vehicle
through the heating and air condi-
tioning system.Have the cabin air filter replaced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
according to the maintenance sched-
ule. If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads and/or if transporting
pets or occupants smoke inside the
vehicle, then more frequent cabin air
filter inspections and changes are
required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
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 air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used. Otherwise, damage
to the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur. To
prevent damage, the air condition-
ing system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
