the vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Information
Using the system primarily in Fresh mode
and Recirculation mode only when needed
is recommended for best results.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the A/C
ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode for a prolonged 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 windshield 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
prolonged periods of time. Doing so
may increase the levels of carbon
dioxide in the cabin which may lead
to serious injury or death.

System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
OIK047401L[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin 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 conditioning system.
Have the cabin air filter 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
cabin air filter inspections and changes
are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
the system should 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 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. +

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 knob or button to the
position and fan speed control knob or
button to a lower speed.
• For maximum defrost performance,
set the temperature control knob
to the highest temperature setting

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine may be overheating. If this
happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the
parking brake
3. Turn off the air conditioner.
4. When the coolant or hot steams
gush out of the reservoir, stop the
engine and we recommend that
you call an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance. If the coolant
does not flow out, leave the engine
compartment opened, while running
the engine. Check the coolant
temperature gauge on the instrument
cluster and turn off the engine to
make sure the coolant temperature is
sufficiently cooled down.
5. Cool down the engine sufficiently
and check the coolant level. When it
is insufficient, check its connection
with the radiator, the heater hose,
and the water pump for any leakage.
When there is no leakage, add the
coolant. However, if the problems
persists, such as the coolant leakages,
the cooling-fan malfunction or the
water pump drive belt damages,
immediately stop the engine, and
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• You should mix antifreeze and water in
a proper ratio to make coolant. If the
antifreeze ratio is too high or low, it
may cause overheating due to the lack
of cooling function.
(Refer to the Mix Ratio in “Checking
the coolant level” in chapter 8.)
• If overheating happens repeatedly,
we recommend that you have
your vehicle to be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
While the engine is running, keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving parts
such as the cooling fan and
drive belt to prevent serious
injury.
