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.

Because the refriger-
ant is at very high
pressure, the air con-ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. It is important thatthe correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used, oth-
erwise damage to the vehicle
and personal injury may occur.

Maintenance
Normal maintenance schedule
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep
receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the fre-
quency of service is determined by whichever occurs first. *1
: If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available

* 2
: Fuel filter & Fuel tank air filter are considered to be maintenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for
this maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restric-
tion, surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of mainte-
nance schedule and consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.
* 3
: Transfer case oil and rear axle oil should be changed anytime they have been submerged in water.
* 4
: Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary. Have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer perform the operation.
