Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with R-134a or R-1234yf
refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con-ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the out- side air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Information
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regulation
in your country at the time of produc-
tion. You can find out which air condi-
tioning refrigerant is applied to your
vehicle on the label located inside of
the bonnet. Refer to chapter 8 for the
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label. • The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
• The refrigerant system should be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
• The air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) shall never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or salvaged
vehicle and new replacement
MAC evaporators shall be certi-
fied (and labelled) as meeting
SAE Standard J2842.
Information
• When using the air conditioning sys-tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equip-
ment, air conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.

Air conditioning system operation
tips
• If the vehicle has been parked indirect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
• Use air conditioning to reduce humidity and moisture inside the
vehicle on rainy or humid days.
• During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
• When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic. • Operating the air conditioning sys-
tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, 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 operation characteristic.
System maintenance
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust
or other pollutants that come into the
vehicle 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 accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
screen even when the outside (fresh)
air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the cli-
mate control air filter be replaced by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Information
• Replace the filter according to theMaintenance Schedule.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough
roads, more frequent climate con-
trol air filter inspections and
changes are required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Air Conditioning refrigerantlabel
The actual Air Conditioning refriger-
ant label in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration. Each symbols and specification on
air conditioning refrigerant label
means as below:
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubri-
cant
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle on
the label located inside of the bonnet.
Refer to chapter 8 for the location of
the air conditioning refrigerant label.

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
has a bad influence on the air condi-
tioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
We recommend the air conditioning
system be serviced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Because the refriger-
ant is at very high pres-
sure, the air condition-
ing system should only
be serviced by trained and certi-
fied technicians. It is important
that the correct type and amount
of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage
to the vehicle and personal injury.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflamma-
ble at very high pres-
sure, the air condition-
ing system should
only be serviced by
trained and certified
technicians. It is
important that the cor-
rect type and amount of oil and
refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause dam-
age to the vehicle and personal
injury.

• For maximum defrosting, set thetemperature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
• If warm air to the floor is desired whilst defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost posi-
tion.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windscreen, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the bonnet and air inlet in the cowl grill
to improve heater and defroster
efficiency and to reduce the proba-
bility of fogging up inside of the
windscreen.Manual climate control system
To defog inside windscreen
1. Select any fan speed except “0” position.
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Select the or position.
4. The outside (fresh) air will be select- ed automatically. Additionally, the air
conditioning (if equipped) will auto-
matically operate if the mode is
selected to the position.
If the air conditioning and outside
(fresh) air position are not selected
automatically, press the correspon-
ding button manually.
WINDSCREEN DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
Windscreen heating
Do not use the or posi-
tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-
ature of the outside air and that
of the windscreen could cause
the outer surface of the wind-
screen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan
speed control knob or button to
lower speed.

Auto defogging system (only for automatic climate control system, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windscreen by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the wind-
screen.
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 -10 °C. When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi-
cator will illuminate.
If higher level of moisture are sensed
in the vehicle, the Auto Defogging
System will operate in the following
order:
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind- screen
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windscreen
If the air conditioning is off or recircu-
lated air position is manually selected
whilst Auto Defogging System is ON,
the “ADS OFF” symbol will blink 3
times to signal that the manual opera-
tion has been cancelled.
To cancel or reset the Auto Defogging
System
Press the front windscreen defroster
button for 3 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
When the Auto Defogging System is
cancelled, ADS OFF symbol will
blink 3 times and the ADS OFF will
be displayed on the climate control
information screen.
When the Auto Defogging System is
reset, ADS OFF symbol will blink 6
times without a signal.
Information
• When the air conditioning is turned on by Auto defogging system, if you
try to turn off the air conditioning, the
indicator will blink 3 times and the air
conditioning will not be turned off.
• For efficiency, do not select recircu- lated air position whilst Auto defog-
ging system is operating.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
driver side windscreen glass.
Damage to system parts could
occur and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.
