2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE air condition

Features of your vehicle148 3Air 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.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has negative
result on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. Improper service
may cause serious injury.
CAUTION
When the performance of the air
conditioning system is reduced 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.

Features of your vehicle150 3Automatic operationThe automatic climate control system is
controlled by simply setting the desired
temperature.
The Full Automatic Temperature Control
(FATC) system automatically controls the
heating and cooling system as follows;
1. Push the AUTO button. It is indicated
by AUTO on the display. The modes,
fan speeds, air intake and air-condi-
tioning will be controlled automatically
by the temperature setting.2. Push the TEMP button to set the
desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the lowest
setting LO (62°F/17°C), the air condi-
tioning system will operate continu-
ously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off,
press any button except the tempera-
ture control button. If you press the
mode selection button, air-conditioning
button, defrost button, air intake con-
trol button or fan speed knob, the
selected function will be controlled
manually while other functions operate
automatically.
Regardless of the temperature setting,
when using automatic operation, the air
conditioning system can automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.

the temperature to increase by 1°F/0.5°C.
The temperature will decrease to the mini-
mum 62°F/17°C (LO) by pushing the down
button. Each push of the down button will
cause the temperature to decrease by
1°F/0.5°C. When set to the lowest tem-
perature setting, the air conditioning sys-
tem will operate continuously.
Dual temperature control selection
buttonAdjusting the driver and passenger side
temperature individually
1. Press the DUAL button to operate the
driver and passenger side temperature
individually. Pressing the right temper-
ature control button will automatically
switch to the DUAL mode as well.

Recirculated air position
The indicator light on the but-
ton is illuminated when the
recirculated air position is
selected.
With the recirculated air posi-
tion selected, air from pas-
senger compartment will be
drawn through the ventilation
system and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
The indicator light on the but-
ton is illumimated when the
outside (fresh) air position is

With the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
✽ ✽
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.
(outlet port: A, D, E)
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.
