Recirculated air position The indicator light on the
button is illuminated whenthe recirculated air positionis selected.
With the recirculated air position selected, air from
passenger compartment
will be drawn through theheating system and heatedor cooled according to thefunction selected.
Outside (fresh) air position The indicator light on the
button is not illuminatedwhen the outside (fresh) airposition is selected. With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside andis heated or cooled accord-ing to the function selected.✽✽NOTICE
It should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated airposition will cause fogging of the wind-shield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment willbecome stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected, will result in excessive-
ly dry air in the passenger compart-ment. 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
control. Set the air intake controlto the outside (fresh) air position
as much as possible while driv-ing.

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 or 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 aslight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month if only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
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. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-cle 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 accumulation on the inside of
the windshield even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorised Hyundai deal-
er.

CAUTION
Replace the filter every 15,000 km
or once a year.
If the car is being driven in severeconditions such as dusty, roughroads, more frequent climate con-
trol air filter inspections and changes are required.
When the air flow rate is sudden- ly decreased, the system shouldbe checked at an authorised deal-
er.

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 indicatedby AUTO on the display. The modes,
fan speeds, air intake and air-condi-tioning will be controlled automatically
by temperature setting. 2. Push the TEMP button to set the
desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the lowest
setting LO, the air conditioning system
will operate continuously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off, press any button except temperature
control button. If you press the mode
selection button, air-conditioning but-
ton, defrost button, air intake control
button or fan speed button, the select-
ed function will be controlled manually
while other functions operate automat-
ically.
Regardless of the temperature setting,
when using automatic operation, the airconditioning system can automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.
