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.
To help reduce moisture inside of win- dows on rainy or humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-ating the air conditioning system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice aslight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month if only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristics. D230300AFD-EA
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, have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.✽✽

Mode selection
The mode selection button controls the
direction of the air flow through the venti-lation system.
Refer to the illustration in the “Manual cli- mate control system”.
The air flow outlet port is converted as
follows: Face-Level (B, D)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body
and face. Additionally, each outlet can becontrolled to direct the air dischargedfrom the outlet.
Bi-Level (B, D, C, E)
Air flow is discharged towards the face and
floor.
Floor-Level (C, E, A, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the air beingdirected to the windshield and side win-
dow defroster.
Floor/Defrost-Level (A, C, E, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floorand the windshield with a small amount
directed to the side window defrosters.

✽✽NOTICE
It should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated airposition will cause fogging of the wind-shield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment willbecome stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected, will result in excessive-
ly dry air in the passenger compart-ment.

Air quality control (if equipped)
The air inflow from outside the vehicle
can be automatically controlled. Press
the button to activate the air quality con-trol system.
When using AQS mode, AQS(Air Quality Control System) automatically sensesoutdoor air pollutants and minimises
them from entering the vehicle, however,
unpleasant or foul odors that might be
present may still be noticeable within the
vehicle. Exhaust gas cutoff mode :
Air enters the vehicle from the outside.
If exhaust gas enters the vehicle from the
outside, the exhaust gas cutoff mode is
automatically converted from the outsideair position to the recirculated air position
to prevent exhaust gas from entering the
vehicle.

NOTICE
It should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating system in recircula-
tion mode will create misting of thewindshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the recircu-
lation mode selected may result in the
air within the passenger compartment
becoming excessively dry.
WARNING
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside vehicle which may
fog the glass and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with 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 reciruclated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control tothe outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.

CAUTION
If the windows fog up with the
Recirculation or AQS mode select- ed, set the air intake control to thefresh air position or AQS control to OFF.

Care of cassette tapes (if equipped)
Because the thickness of a cassettetape with the total playback time of
over 60 minutes (C-60) are too thin, we
suggest that you do not use any of
them to avoid having tapes being tan-gled.
To achieve better sound quality, period- ically clean the tape head using a cot-
ton stick with colourless alcohol (onceper month).
If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by winding with objects like a pencil.
Because dust or foreign objects on a cassette tape may damage the play-
back head, always store tapes in their
cases when not in use.
Make sure cassette tapes are kept away from magnetic devices (TV,
stereo system, etc) in order to achieve
better sound quality.

Be certain that no objects or substances
other than cassette tapes are inserted
into the cassette tape player.
Because tape media can be distorted when exposed to direct sunlight, do not
leave cassette tapes on the seats,
dashboard or near the back wind-shield. Care of disc (if equipped)
If the temperature inside the car is too
high, open the car windows for ventilation
before using your car audio.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files without
permission. Use CDs that are created
only by lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from get- ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs bythe edges or the edges of the centre
hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it fromthe centre to the outside edge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or paperonto it.
Make sure on undesirable matter other than CDs are inserted into the CD
player (Do not insert more than oneCD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt. Depending on the type of CD-R/CD-
RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally according to manufacturingcompanies or making and recording
methods. In such circumstances, if you
still continue to use those CDs, they
may cause the malfunction of your caraudio system.
✽✽ NOTICE - Playing an
Incompatible Copy-Protected
Audio CD
Some copy protected CDs, which do not comply with the international audio CDstandards (Red Book), may not play on
your car audio. Please note that if you
try to play copy protected CDs and the
CD player does not perform correctlythe CDs maybe defective, not the CD
