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 conditioning system.
Have the cabin air filter be replaced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer according
to the maintenance schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough roads,
more frequent climate control filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
have the system be checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the
performance of the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found,
have the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.

Air intake control
This is used to select the outside (fresh)
air position or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control position,
push the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from the
passenger compartment will
be drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
„„Type AType AWith the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside
and is heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
„„Type BType B
Information
Using the system in the fresh air position is
recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air
conditioning selected) can cause fogging of
the windshield and side windows 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 excessively
dry air in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity 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 serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or
body temperature.
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated 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.

Operation Tips
• To help keep dust or unpleasant fumes
fr
om entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set the

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
position during
cooling operation in extremely humid
weather. 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 could cause
an accident resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the mode
selection button to the
position
and fan speed control knob to a lower
speed.
• For maximum defrost performance,
set the temperature control to the
highest temperature setting and
the fan speed control to the highest
setting.
• If warm air to the floor is desired while
defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
side view mirrors, and all side
windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the
hood and air inlet in the cowl grill
to improve heater and defroster
efficiency and to reduce the
probability of fogging up the inside of
the windshield.
NOTICE
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, then a brief engine warm
up period may be required for the
vented air flow to become warm or hot.

Auto defogging system (only
for automatic climate control
system, if equipped)
Auto defogging help reduce the
possibility of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing the
moisture on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below 14°F(-10°C).
To cancel or set the Auto Defogging
System, keep the front defroster button
pressed for 3 seconds. The “ADS OFF”
symbol will be shown in the climate
display to inform you that the system
is deactivated. To re-activate the auto
defogging system, follow the procedure
mentioned above and the “ADS OFF”
symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
Information
For efficiency, do not select recirculated
air position while the Auto defogging
system is operating.
NOTICE
Do not remove the sensor cover located
on the top of the windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could occur
and may not be covered by your vehicle
warranty.
