2006 Hyundai Santa Fe air conditioning

105
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.
With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from
within the passenger compartment will be drawn
through the heating system and heated or
cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "recirculation"
mode will give rise to fogging of the wind-
shield and side windows and the air within
the passenger compartment will become
stale. In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the "Recirculation" mode
selected may result in the air within the
passenger compartment becoming exces-
sively dry.

B980F02O-AATDefrost Switch
B980F01O
When the "Defrost" button is pressed, the "Fresh"
mode will be automatically selected and the air
will be discharged through the windshield de-
froster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side
ventilator.
To assist in defrosting, the air conditioning will
operate if ambient temperature is higher than
32°F(0°C) and automatically turns off if the
ambient temperature drops below 32°F(0°C).
B740D01Y-AATOperation Tipso 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
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
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 air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
Floor-Defrost Level
When selecting the "Floor-Defrost Level", the
indicator light will come on and the air will be
discharged through the windshield defroster
nozzle, the floor vents, side defroster nozzle
and side ventilator.

playing even if the radio is being used.
o The CD player can be used when the ignition
switch is in either the "ON" or "ACC" position.2. FF/REW ( / )If you want to fast forward or reverse through
the compact disc track, push and hold the FF
( ) or REW ( ) button.
When you release the button, the compact disc
player will resume playing.3. TRACK UP/DOWNo The desired track on the disc currently being
played can be selected using the track
number.
o Press once to skip forward to the beg-
inning of the next track. Press once to
skip back to the beginning of the track.
4. SCAN Buttono Press the SCAN button to playback the first
10 seconds of each track.
o Press the SCAN button again within 10 sec.
when you have reached the desired track.5. REPEAT Buttono To repeat the track you are currently listen-
ing to, press the RPT button. To cancel ,
press again.
o If you do not release RPT operation when the
track ends, it will automatically be replayed.
This process will be continued until you push
the button again.6. EJECT ButtonWhen the EJECT button is pressed with a
CD loaded, the CD will eject.
NOTE:o If the CD does not operate properly or if
the ER2 fault code is displayed, use one
of two methods to reset the CD deck
function.
- Remove the audio fuse for 5 minutes.
Then, reinstall the audio fuse.
- Diconnect the negative terminal of the
battery and wait 5 minutes. Then re-
connect the negative battery terminal.
o To assure proper operation of the unit,
keep the vehicle interior temperature
within a normal range by using the
vehicle's air conditioning or heating
system.
o When replacing the fuse, replace it with
a fuse having the correct capacity.
o The preset station frequencies are all
erased when the car battery is discon-
nected. Therefore, all data will have to be
set again if this should occur.
o Do not add any oil to the rotating parts.
Keep magnets, screwdrivers and other
metallic objects away from the tape
mechanism and head.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
21
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result from
hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear and may also result in other problems
as well as greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If
you drive your car in severe conditions,
more frequent maintenance is required (see
Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service,
your Hyundai should be kept clean and free
of corrosive materials. It is especially impor-
tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-
sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),
turn off your engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.o Remember, your Hyundai does not require
extended warm-up. After the engine has
started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20
seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give your
engine a slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-
ing in the engine bucking. If this happens,
shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by engine
power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.
SMOOTH CORNERINGC150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners
should always be taken under gentle accelera-
tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear
will be held to a minimum.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!!
!
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair,
hands and clothing away from moving parts
such as the fan and drive belts to prevent
injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine
immediately and call the nearest Hyundai
dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause seri-
ous burns.6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-
ing, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir
(page 6-9) to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. If overheating
happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for
assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should
be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai
dealer.
D030A02L-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates overheat-
ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on,
turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from the hood, stop
the engine. Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or the steaming
has stopped. If there is no visible loss of
engine coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be sure the
engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is
not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the
air conditioning had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).
