Operation Tips
 To keep dust or unpleasant fumes fromentering the vehicle through the venti-
lation system, temporarily set the air
intake control to the recirculated air
position. Be sure to return the control
to the fresh air position when the irrita-
tion 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 windscreen. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
 To prevent interior fog on the wind- screen, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-
tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature.
Air conditioning (if equipped) HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi- tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
 When maximum cooling is desired, set the temperature control to the extreme
left position (press the MAX A/C posi-
tion selection button (if equipped)) then
set the fan speed control to the highest
speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates 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 conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed.

4Air conditioning system operation tips
 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
 To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
 During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
 Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.  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 characteristic.
Climate control air filter
(if equipped)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 windscreen even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the climate
control air filter be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Automatic heating and air condi-
tioning1. Press the AUTO button.
The modes, fan speeds, air intake and
air-conditioning will be controlled auto-
matically by setting the temperature.2. Set the temperature button to the
desired temperature.
✽ ✽NOTICE• To turn the automatic operation off,
select any button of the following:
- Mode selection button
- Front windscreen defroster button (Press the button one more time to
deselect the front windscreen
defroster function. The AUTO sign
will illuminate on the information
display once again.)
- Fan speed control button
The selected function will be con- trolled manually whilst other func-
tions operate automatically.
• For your convenience and to improve the effectiveness of the climate control,
use the AUTO button and set the tem-
perature to 22°C/71°F.
✽ ✽ NOTICENever place anything over the sensor
located on the instrument panel to
ensure better control of the heating and
cooling system.

4Manual heating and air condition-
ingThe heating and cooling system can be
controlled manually by pressing buttons
or turning knob(s) other than the AUTO
button. In this case, the system works
sequentially according to the order of
buttons or knob(s) selected.
1. Start the engine.
2. Set the mode to the desired position.
For improving the effectiveness of
heating and cooling;
- Heating:
- Cooling:
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6. If air conditioning is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
Press the AUTO button in order to con-
vert to full automatic control of the sys-
tem.
Mode selectionThe mode selection button controls the
direction of the air flow through the venti-
lation system.
Refer to the illustration in the “Manual cli-
mate control system”.
If you push the button once, the corre-
sponding switch will turn on, and if you
push the button again, the switch will turn
off. Face-Level (B, D)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body
and face. Additionally, each outlet can be
controlled to direct the air discharged
from the outlet.
Floor-Level (C, E, A, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor.
Defrost-Level (A, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
windscreen.
Also you may select 2~3 modes at the
same time for desired air flow.
- face ( ) + floor ( ) mode
- face ( ) + defrost ( ) mode

driver and passenger side temperature
individually. Also, if the passenger side
temperature control button is operat-
ed, it will automatically change to the
DUAL mode as well.

perature. Operate the passenger side
temperature control to adjust the pas-
senger side temperature.
When the driver side temperature is set
to the highest (HI) or lowest (Lo) temper-
ature setting, the DUAL mode is deacti-
vated for maximum heating or cooling. Adjusting the driver and passenger side
temperature equally
1. Press the DUAL button again to deac-
tivate DUAL mode. The passenger
side temperature will be set to the
same temperature as the driver side.

You can switch the temperature mode
between Centigrade to Fahrenheit as fol-
lows:
Whilst pressing the OFF button, press
the AUTO button for 3 seconds or more.
The display will change from Centigrade
to Fahrenheit, or from Fahrenheit to
Centigrade.
If the battery has been discharged or dis-
connected, the temperature mode dis-
play will reset to Centigrade.

Features of your vehicle
 For maximum defrosting, set the tem-perature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
 If warm air to the floor is desired whilst defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
 Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windscreen, rear window, out-
side rear view mirrors, and all side win-
dows.
 Clear all snow and ice from the bonnet and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up the
inside of the windscreen.
Manual climate control systemTo defog inside windscreen 1. Set the fan speed to the desired posi- tion.
2. Select desired temperature.
WINDSCREEN DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
- Windscreen heating
Do not use the position during
cooling operation in extremely
humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the out-
side air and the windscreen could
cause the outer surface of the
windscreen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection to the position
and fan speed control to the lower
speed.
