Air bags can only be used once –have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer replace the air bag imme-
diately after deployment.
A smaller-stature adult who is not seated correctly (for example:
seat excessively reclined, leaning
on the door or center console, or
hips shifted forward in the seat)
can cause a condition where the
advanced frontal air bag system
senses less weight than if the
occupant were seated properly
(sitting upright with the seatback
in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor).
This condition can result in an
adult potentially being misclassi-
fied and illumination of the
"PASS AIR BAG OFF" indicator.(Continued)
Do not modify or replace the frontpassenger seat. Don't place any-
thing on or attach anything such
as a blanket or seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant
classification system.
Do not sit on sharp objects such as tools when occupying the
front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant
classification system.
Do not use accessory seat cov- ers on the front seats.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as opposed
to the front seat. It is recom-
mended that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including
an infant riding in a rear-facing
infant seat, a child riding in a for-
ward-facing child seat and an
older child riding in a booster
seat.
(Continued)WARNING
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant clas-
sification system, never install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A deploying air
bag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injuries or
death. Any child age 12 and
under should ride in the rear seat.
Children too large for child
restraints should use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. No mat-
ter what type of crash, children of
all ages are safer when restrained
in the rear seat.
If the "PASS AIR BAG OFF" indi- cator is illuminated when the
front passenger's seat is occu-
pied by an adult and he/she sits
properly (sitting upright with the
seatback in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet
on the floor), have that person sit
in the rear seat.

position selected, air
enters the vehicle from out-
side and is heated or
cooled according to thefunction selected.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air
conditioning selected) may cause fog-
ging of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger com-
partment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air con-
ditioning with the recirculated air posi-
tion selected will result in excessively dry
air in the passenger compartment.

Air quality System (if equipped)
The air inflow from outside the vehicle
can be automatically controlled. Press
the button to activate the air quality con-
trol system.
When using AQS mode, AQS(Air Quality
System) automatically senses outdoor
air pollutants and minimizes them from
entering the vehicle, however, unpleas-
ant or foul odors that might be present
may still be noticeable within the vehicle.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate con-
trol system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allow
humidity to increase inside the
vehicle which may fog the glass
and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the 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 use of the climate con- trol system operation in the recir-
culated air position can cause
drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss
of vehicle control. Set the air intake
control to the outside (fresh) air
position as much as possible while
driving.

Features of your vehicle
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.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the recircu-
lated air to the fresh outside air posi-
tion.
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 characteristic.

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 authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Replace the filter every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) or once a year.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent air conditioner
filter inspections and changes are
required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, the system should be
checked at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probability of
fogging up the inside of the windshield by
automatically sensing the moisture on
the inside of the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is on.This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the moisture
on the inside of the wind-
shield and operates. If higher level of moisture has been
sensed in the vehicle, the auto defogging
system will operate in the following order.
For example if auto defogging does not
defog inside the windshield at step 1
Outside air position, it tries to defog again
at step 2 Blowing air toward the windshield.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Blo
wing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 5 : Maximizing the air conditioning
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto
defogging system, it is automatically acti-
vated when the conditions are met.
However, if you would like to cancel the
auto defogging system, press the front
defroster button 4 times within 2 seconds
while pressing the AUTO button. The
indicator will blink 3 times to notify you
that the system is cancelled. To use the
auto defogging system again, follow the
procedures mentioned above.
If the battery has been disconnected or
discharged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If the A/C off or recirculated air posi-
tion is manually selected while the
auto defogging system is on, the auto
defogging indicator will blink 3 times
to give notice that manual operation is
canceled.
• If the air quality system (AQS) is selected while the auto defogging sys-
tem is operating at the step 1 outside
air position, the recirculated air posi-
tion may operate when the outside air
is polluted.
