2nd and 3rd row outlet vents (E, F, G, H) (G, H : if equipped)
The air flow of the 2nd and 3rd row outlet vents is controlled by the front climate control system and delivered through the inside air duct of the floor (E, F, H).
The air flow of the 2nd and 3rd row outlet vents (E, F, H) may be weaker than the instrument panel vents for the long air duct.
Close the air vents (F) in cold weather. The air flow of the 2nd and 3rd row outlet vents may not be as warm during heating operation. (Use the 2nd
and 3rd row outlet vents (F, G) during cooling operation.)

5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system (if
equipped) on.
If the windshield fogs up, set the mode to the or position. Operation Tips
To prevent dust or unpleasant
fumes from entering the vehicle
through the ventilation system,
temporarily set the air intake con-
trol to the recirculated 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 driv-
er 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 friend-
ly 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 recirculated air position. However,
prolonged operation of the recircu-
lated air position will excessively
dry the air. In this case, change the
air position.
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 then set the
fan speed control to the highest
speed.

✽NOTICE
• While 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.
• Opening the windows in humid weather while operating the air
conditioning system 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 win-
dows closed.
Air 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 vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
During the winter months, use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This condensation is
a normal system operation charac-
teristic. Operating the air conditioning sys-
tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, 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 operation characteristic.
If you operate air conditioner excessively, the difference
between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the wind-
shield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection knob
or button to the position and
fan speed control to the lower
speed.

Adjust the sunvisor extension (if
equipped) forward or backward (4).Power outletThe power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 10
amps with the engine running.
CAUTION
Use the power outlet only
when the engine is runningand remove the accessoryplug after use. Using theaccessory plug for prolongedperiods of time with theengine off could cause thebattery to discharge.
Only use 10V electric acces- sories which are less than 10Ain electric capacity. If not, itcould lead to an overheatedpower outlet or electric wiringin the vehicle and electric sys-tems may malfunction.
(Continued)
CAUTION
Always have the switch in theoff position when the vanitymirror lamp is not in use. If thesunvisor is closed without thelamp off, it may discharge thebattery or damage the sunvisor.
Always use the sunvisor extension, after swinging thesunvisor to the side.
