• 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.D230504ATQ
Fuel-fired Heater (If Equipped)
This fuel-fired heater supplies additional
heat to the interior compartment with a
low fuel consumption to compensate the
heat provided by engine alone.
The following 3 conditions should be
meet at the same time for automatic
operation of the fuel-fired heater.
• Engine runs.
• Ambient temperature is lower than 5°C.
• Coolant temperature is lower than
68°C.
A cleaning process of the fuel-fired
heater will be performed automatically
when the heater is not operated due to
increase of coolant temperature and igni-
tion off.
During cleaning process, supplied fuel in
the heater will be burnt completely and
any smoke will be expelled. It is a neces-
sary process for next operation and dura-
bility of the heater and takes about 1~3
minutes.
✽NOTICE
• The following symptoms will occur
and it is normal.
- A white smoke may come out from
the fuel-fired heater exhaust pipe
during operation of the heater.
However, when an excessive black
smoke is discharged, the fuel-fired
heater should be inspected.
- A “buk-buk” noise from the heater is
a noise to form flame for combus-
tion.
- When the heater is operated at full
load, a “Wooing” noise occurs.
- When shutting off the engine during
heater operation, a “Wing” noise
occurs to perform the cleaning
process.
• When refueling, stop operation of the
fuel-fired heater by shutting off the
engine.

How car audio works
AM (MW, LW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers locat-
ed around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your car. This
signal is then received by the radio and
sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM (MW, LW) broadcasts can be
received at greater distances than FM
broadcasts. This is because AM (MW,
LW) radio waves are transmitted 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.

WARNING- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the win-
dows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxia-
tion.
• Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
• Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are
kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
