ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. The
occupant must turn the seat
warmer off if the seat is becom-
ing too warm. The seat warmer
may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.

1. Infants, children, elderly or
disabled persons, or hospital
outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin
or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals

WARNING- Seatback
pockets
Do not put heavy or sharp
objects in the seatback pockets.
In an accident they could come
loose from the pocket and
injure vehicle occupants.
CAUTION
 When cleaning the seats, do
not use an organic solvent
such as paint thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol or gasoline.
Doing so may damage the sur-
face of the heater or seats.
 To prevent overheating the
seat warmer, do not place any-
thing on the seats that insu-
lates against heat, such as
blankets, cushions or seat
covers while the seat warmer
is in operation.
 Do not place heavy or sharp
objects on seats equipped with
seat warmers. Damage to the
seat warming components
could occur.

Features of your vehicle
When the door is open, or if the
engine is not started within 1 minute,
the tachometer pointer may move
slightly in ON position with the
engine OFF. This movement is nor-
mal and will not affect the accuracy
of the tachometer once the engine is
running.
Engine temperature gauge  
This gauge shows the temperature
of the engine coolant when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “If the engine over-
heats” in section 6.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the “H” position, it indi-
cates overheating that may
damage the engine.

Features of your vehicle
 When the smart key is in the vehi-
cle, if the engine start/stop button
is turned to the ON position, the
indicator will illuminate until the
engine is started. However, when
the smart key is not in the vehicle,
if the engine start/stop button is
depressed, the indicator will blink
for a few minutes to indicate that
you will not be able to start the
engine.
 When the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position and the indica-
tor turns off after 2 seconds, the
system may have a problem. Have
the vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
 When the battery is weak, if the
engine start/stop button is
depressed, the indicator will blink
and you will not be able to start the
engine. However, you may still be
able to start the engine by inserting
the smart key in the smart key
holder. If smart key system related
parts have a problem, the indicator
blinks.Low fuel level warning
light
This warning light indicates the fuel
tank is nearly empty. When it comes
on, you should add fuel as soon as
possible. Driving with the fuel level
warning light on or with the fuel level
below “E” can cause the engine to
misfire and damage the catalytic
converter.
Engine coolant tempera-
ture warning light 
The warning light shows the temper-
ature of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch is ON.
The warning light illuminates if the
temperature of the engine coolant is
above 248±5.5°F (120±3°C).
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “Overheating” in the
section 6.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, it indi-
cates overheating that may damage
the engine.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) may cause
fogging of the windshield and side
windows and the air within the pas-
senger 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. 
Fan speed control
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for fan operation.
The fan speed control knob allows
you to control the fan speed of the air
flowing from the ventilation system.
To change the fan speed, turn the
knob to the right for higher speed or
left for lower speed.
WARNING
 Continued use of the climate
control system in the recircu-
lated 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 seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
 Continued use of the climate
control system in the recircu-
lated 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.

Operation Tips
 To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircu-
lated air position. Be sure to return
the control to the fresh air position
when the irritation has passed to
keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver alert and
comfortable.
 Air for the heating/cooling system
is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windshield. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
 To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.Air conditioning 
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con-
ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the  position.
3. Set the air intake control to the
outside air or recirculated air posi-
tion.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
 When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
extreme left position, set the mode
control to the  position, then set
the fan speed control to the highest
speed.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic
when outside temperatures are
high. Air conditioning  system
operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blow-
er fan but turn the air condition-
ing system off if the engine tem-
perature gauge indicates 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 condi-
tioning should only be operated
with the windows closed.
