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 compart-
ment will be drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:
It should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating system in "recirculation" mode will give rise to
fogging of the windshield and side
windows and the air within the pas-
senger compartment will become stale. In addition, prolonged use of
the air conditioning with the "Recir-
culation" mode selected may result
in the air within the passenger com-
partment becoming excessively dry.B980D01Y-AAT

CAUTION:
oReplace the filter every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or once a year. If the
car is being driven in severe con-
ditions such as dusty, rough roads, more frequent climate con-
trol air filter inspections and
changes are required.
oWhen the air flow rate is decreased,
it must be checked at an autho-rized dealer.CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER

or the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at highfrequencies and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FM broadcasts generally begin to fade
at short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstruc- tions. These can result in certain listen-
ing conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your ra-
dio. The following conditions are normal
and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves aretransmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.

How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal isthen received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineeringof your audio system ensures the best
possible quality reproduction. Howev-
er, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle may not be strong andclear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio stationsIonosphere

!oStation Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerfulsignal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, selectanother station with a stronger sig- nal.
oMulti-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station until the condition has passed.
oFading - As your car moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to
fade. When this occurs, we suggest
that you select another stronger sta-
tion.
oFlutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or flut-
tering noises to occur. Reducing the
treble level may lessen this effect
until the disturbance clears. B750B02Y-AAT
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible from the audio equipment.! CAUTION:
When using a communication sys- tem such as a cellular phone or aradio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system and ad- versely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving, you must stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone.B750A04

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI123123123CARE OF DISCSStorage
When not in use, place your discs in
their individual cases and store them in
a cool place away from the sun, heat,
and dust.Do not grip or pull out the disc with your
hand while the disc is being pulled into
the unit by the self loading mechanism.
Keep Your Discs Clean
B850A02F-AAT
Proper Handling
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop
the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. If the
surface is scratched, it may cause the
pickup to skip signal tracks. Do not
affix tape, paper, or gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on the disc.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play damaged, warped or cracked discs. These could severely
damage the playback mechanism. Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface
of a disc could cause the pickup to skip
signal tracks. Wipe the surface clean
with a clean soft cloth.If the surface is heavily soiled, dampena clean soft cloth in a solution of mild
neutral detergent to wipe it clean.

B850A02LCARE OF CASSETTE TAPES
B860A01A-AAT
Proper care of your cassette tapes will extend the tape life and increase yourlistening enjoyment. Always protect
your tapes and cassette cases from
direct sunlight, severely cold and dusty
conditions.
When not in use, cassettes shouldalways be stored in the original protec-
tive cassette case. When the vehicle is
very hot or cold, allow the interior tem-
perature to become more comfortable before listening to your cassettes.
oNever leave a cassette inserted in the player when not being played.
This could damage the tape player
unit and the cassette tape.B860A01L

oThe playback head, capstan andpinch rollers will develop a coating of
tape residue that can result in dete-
rioration of sound quality, such as a
wavering sound. They should be
cleaned monthly using a commer- cially available head cleaning tape or
special solution available from audio
specialty shops. Follow the supplier's directions carefully and never oil any
part of the tape player unit.
oAlways be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting inthe player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprockets to wind up any slack.
oBe sure that the cassette label is not loose or peeling off or tape ejection
may be difficult.
oNever touch or soil the actual audio tape surfaces.
oKeep all magnetized objects, such
as electric motors, speakers or trans-
formers away from your cassette tapes and tape player unit.
oStore cassettes in a cool, dry place
with the open side facing down toprevent dust from setting in the cas-
sette body.
oWe strongly recommend against the
use of tapes longer than C-60 (60
minutes total). Tapes such as C-120
or C-180 are very thin and do not
perform as well in the automotive
environment. oAvoid repeated fast / reverse usage
to replay one given tune or tape
section. This can cause poor tape
winding to occur, and eventually cause excessive internal drag and
poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be
corrected by fast winding the tape
from end to end several times. If this does not correct the problem, do not
continue to use the tape in your
vehicle.
