Power trunk non-opening conditions
The power trunk will not open or close
automatically, when the vehicle is movingmore than 3 km/h (1.8 mph).
✽✽
NOTICE
If there are obstacles such as snow on
the power trunk, it may not open auto-
matically. After remove the obstacle, try
to open it again. ✽
✽
NOTICE
 The power trunk can be operated when the engine is not running.
However the power operation con-
sumes large amounts of vehicle elec-
tric power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not operate
it excessively e.g.: more than approxi-
mately 10 times repeatedly.
 To prevent the battery from being dis- charged, do not leave the power trunk
in the open position for a long lime.
 Do not apply excessive force while
operating the power trunk. This could
cause damage to the power trunk.
 Do not modify or repair any part of the power trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
 When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power trunk. This
could cause the power trunk to oper-
ate improperly.
Automatic stop and reversal
If, during power opening or closing, the
trunk is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the power trunk will detect the
resistance, and it will stop movement or
move to the full open position to allow theobject to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak such as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the trunk is near the latched position, the
automatic stop and reversal may notdetect the resistance and the closing
operation will continue. Also, if the power
trunk is forced by a strong impact, the
automatic stop and reversal may oper-
ate.
WARNING
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.Children or animals might operate
the power trunk that could result in
injury to themselves or others, or
damage to the vehicle.

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.
