Rear outlet vents (F)
The air flow of the Rear outlet vents is controlled by the front climate control
system and delivered through the
inside air duct of the front doors. If the
door is open or not closed completely,
the air flow of the Rear outlet vent is
not delivered properly. Make sure the
front doors are closed completely.
The air flow of the Rear outlet vents may be weaker than the instrument
panel vents for the long air duct in the
front doors.
Close the air vents in cold weather. The air flow of the Rear outlet vents may
cool a little during heating operation.
(Use the Rear outlet vents during cool-
ing operation.)
Mode selection
The mode selection button controls the
direction of the air flow through the venti-lation system.
The air flow outlet port is converted as
follows: Floor & Defrost
(A, C, D, E, F, G)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floorand the windshield with a small amount
directed to the side window defrosters.
Floor-Level (A, C, D, E, F, G)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the air beingdirected to the windshield and side win-
dow defrosters.
Bi-Level (B, C, D, E, F, G)
Air flow is directed towards the face and
the floor.
Face-Level (B, D, F, G)

ature setting, the DUAL mode is deacti-
vated for maximum heating or cooling. Adjusting the driver and passenger side
temperature equally
1. Press the DUAL button again to deac-
tivate DUAL mode. The passenger
side temperature will be set to the
same temperature as the driver side.

outdoor air pollutants and minimizes
them from entering the vehicle, however,
unpleasant or foul odors that might be
present may still be noticeable within the
vehicle. Exhaust gas cutoff mode :
Air enters the vehicle from the outside.
If exhaust gas enters the vehicle from the
outside, the exhaust gas cutoff mode is
automatically converted from the outsideair position to the recirculated air position
to prevent exhaust gas from entering the
vehicle.
✽✽
NOTICE
It should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating system in recircula-
tion mode will give rise to misting of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the recircu-
lation mode selected may result in the
air within the passenger compartment
becoming excessively dry.

To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intakecontrol to the recirculated air position.
Be sure to return the control to the
fresh air position when the irritation
has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the

Air conditioning
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant which does not dam-
age the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Press the air condi-
tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
✽✽ NOTICE
 When using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
 When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be run
with the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in directsunlight 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 the windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioningsystem.
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 only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance. 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 provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristics.
