You can use the fog lights only when
the headlights are on low beam.
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position, you can also use the
fog lights when the headlights turn on
automatically. The fog lights will go
OFF when the headlights turn OFF.Hazard warning flasher
The Hazard Warning Flasher should
be used whenever you find it neces-
sary to stop the car in a hazardous
location. When you must make such
an emergency stop, always pull off
the road as far as possible.
The hazard warning lights are turned
on and off by pushing in the hazard
switch. This causes all turn signal
lights to blink. The Hazard Warning
Lights will operate even though the
ignition switch is in the LOCK/OFFposition.
Interior lights
When in operation, the fog lights
consume large amounts of vehi-
cle electrical power. Only use the
fog lights when visibility is poor.
CAUTION
OLMB063020Do not use the interior lights for
an extended period of timewhen the engine is turned off or
the battery will discharge.
CAUTION
Do not use the interior lights
when driving in the dark. The
interior lights may obscure your
view and cause an accident.

AUTO control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the rain stops,
the wiper stops. To vary the speed
setting, turn the speed control knob
(1). If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when ignition switch is in the
ON position, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.To avoid personal injury from
the windshield wipers, when theengine is running and the wind-
shield wiper switch is placed in
the AUTO mode:
Do not touch the upper end of the windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.
WARNING
If there is heavy accumulation
of snow or ice on the wind-
shield, defrost the windshield
for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is
removed before using the
windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
When you operate the wipers,
if your vehicle has a problem
in any part of the wiper opera-
tion system, the wiper mayoperate in the LO mode
regardless of the wiper switch
position. In this case, have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.
When the engine is turned off,
the wiper blade sometimes
may move slightly to helpreduce the deterioration of the
windshield wipers.

Front windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1- 3 cycles.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may
need to add washer fluid to the
washer fluid reservoir.When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warmthe windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do notoperate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually or oper-
ate the wipers when the wind-
shield is dry.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch to the OFFposition to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate and be damaged if the
switch is set in the AUTO mode
while washing the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor
cover located on the upper
end of the passenger side
windshield glass. Damage to
system parts could occur.

Recirculated air position
The indicator light on the
button illuminates whenthe recirculated air posi-tion is selected.
With the recirculated air position selected, air
from the passenger com-
partment will be drawn
through the ventilationsystem and heated orcooled according to thefunction selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
The indicator light on the
button does not illumi-nates when the outside(fresh) air position isselected.
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air
enters the vehicle fromoutside and is heated or
cooled according to thefunction selected.
✽✽ NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (with-
out air conditioning selected) may
cause fogging of the windshield and
side windows and the air within the
passenger compartment may
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated
air position selected will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position(without the air conditioning
selected) 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 seri-
ous injury or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position
can cause drowsiness or

loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as

Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or other pollutants that come into the
vehicle 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 accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the climate control air fil-
ter replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽✽NOTICE
Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent climate con-
trol filter inspections and changes
are required.
When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, the system should be
checked at an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative impact on the air con-ditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation
occurs, have the system inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
