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
sleepiness, that may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible while driving.

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-

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.

For maximum defrosting, set thetemperature control to the maxi-
mum clockwise setting (hot), and
the fan speed control to the highestspeed.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, setthe mode to the floor-defrost posi-tion.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-ciency and to reduce the probabili-
ty of fogging up the inside of thewindshield.Manual climate control system
To defog inside windshield
1. Set the fan speed to the desired position.
2. Select the desired temperature.
3. Press the defrost button ( ).
4. The outside (fresh) air will be selected automatically. If the position is selected, air conditioning
will also be selected automatically.
If the air conditioning and/or outside(fresh) air position are not selected
automatically, press the correspon-
ding button manually.

Windshield heating
Do not use the or posi- tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-ature of the outside air and thewindshield could cause theouter surface of the windshield
to fog up, causing loss of visi-
bility. In this case, set the modeselection to the position and fan
speed control to the lowerspeed.

Multimedia System
(Continued)
 If you use devices such as a USBhub purchased separately, the
vehicle’s audio system may not
recognize the USB device. In that
case, connect the USB device
directly to the multimedia termi-
nal of the vehicle.
 If the USB device is divided by logical drives, only the music files
on the highest-priority drive are
recognized by car audio.
 Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can
be unrecognizable by standard
USB I/F can be unrecognizable.
 Charging through the USB may not be supported in some mobile
devices.
 USB HDD or USB types liable to connection failures due to vehicle
vibrations are not supported.
(i-stick type)
 Some non-standard USB devices (METAL COVER TYPE USB)
can be unrecognizable. (Continued)
(Continued)
 An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is
not recognizable.
 Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
 When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device
is not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
 Use only a USB device format- ted to FAT 12/16/32.
 USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be rec-
ognizable.
 Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in con-
tact with the human body or
other objects.
 If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may
break the device.
 You may hear a strange noise when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device. (Continued)(Continued)
 If you disconnect the external
USB device during playback in
USB mode, the external USB
device can be damaged or may
malfunction. Therefore, discon-
nect the external USB device
when the audio is turned off or
in another mode. (e.g, Radio,
CD)
 Depending on the type and capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.
 Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing
music files.
 Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
 Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble. (Continued)

Maintenance
The electric motor for the cooling fan
is controlled by engine coolant tem-
perature, refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition. If your vehicle
is equipped with GDI, the electric
motor for the cooling fan may begin
to operate at any time and continue
to operate until you disconnect the
negative battery cable.Check the condition and connectionsof all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the F and the L marks on
the side of the coolant reservoirwhen the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring
the level to the F mark, but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, we recommend that you
see an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for a cooling system inspection.
Recommended engine coolant
When adding coolant, use only
deionized water, distilled water or
soft water for your vehicle and
never mix hard water in the coolant
filled at the factory.
An improper coolant mixture can result in severe malfunction or
engine damage.
The engine in your vehicle has alu- minum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene-glycol-
based coolant to prevent corrosionand freezing.
Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec-ified coolant.
Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of thesolution.
OLMB073005
The electric motor for
the cooling fan may
continue to operate
or start up when theengine is not running
and can cause serious injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the rotating fan
blades of the cooling fan.
