B740D01Y-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get
in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot airout.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine overheat-ing.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operatingcondition.
B760A05A-GAT AIR CONDITIONER FILTER (FOR EVAPORATOR AND BLOWERUNIT) (If installed) The air conditioner filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box.It operates to decrease the amount of pollutantsentering the car.To replace the air conditioner filter, refer to thepage 6-15. CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 20,000 km (12,000
miles) or once a year.If the car is being driven in severe condi-tions such as dusty, rough roads, morefrequent air conditioner filter inspectionsand changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased, it must be checked at authorized dealer.

C010A01O-AAT
WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. o Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhau st
system checked as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer. o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out. o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car. If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with
the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior. If you must drive with the tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:1. Close all windows. 2. Open side vents. 3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
