NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated air
position will cause 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 “recirculated air
position” selected, will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger compart-
ment.
Defrost button Most of the air flow is directed to the
windshield with a small amount of air
directed to the side window defrosters.

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 recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle con-
trol. Set the air intake control to the
outside (fresh) air position as much
as possible while driving.

Features of your vehicle160 3Air conditioning (Automatic system)All Hyundai Air Conditioning Systems
use R-134a refrigerant which is not dam-
aging to the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Push the AUTO but-
ton.
2. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.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 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 a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles on.
This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
 Use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
 When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice water dripping (or
puddling) on the ground under the
passenger side of the vehicle. This is a
normal system operation characteris-
tic.
 Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
CAUTION
 When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the blower fan by
turning the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the engine temperature
gauge indicates engine overheat-
ing.
 When opening the windows in
humid weather, the air condition-
ing system may cause condensa-
tion inside the vehicle. Since
excessive condensation (water)
may cause damage to electrical
equipment, the air conditioning
should only be run with the win-
dows closed.
