ment will be drawn
through the heating sys
tem and heated or cooled
according to the functionselected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh)
air position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Information
It should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heater in the recircu
lated air position (without air condi
tioning selected) will cause fogging of
the windshield and side windows and
the air within the passenger compart
ment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in exces
sively dry air in the passenger compartment. i
•Continuous operation of the cli
mate control system in the recir
culated 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 air
conditioning or heating system
on. It may cause serious harm
or death due to a drop in the
oxygen level and/or body tem
perature.
•Continuous operation of the cli
mate control system in the recir
culated air position can cause
drowsiness or sleepiness, and
loss of vehicle control. Set the

Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the car through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircu
lated air position. Return the con
trol to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed. This will
help keep the driver alert and com
fortable.
• To prevent inside of the windshield from fogging, set the air intake con
trol 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 (if equipped)
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with environmentally friendly
refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the mode to the Face Level mode.
4. 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.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintainmaximum 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.When using the air conditioning sys
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera
tures are high. Air conditioning sys
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air condition
ing system off if the engine tempera
ture gauge indicates engine over
heating.

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.
• After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside
air position.
• 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 with the win
dows closed.
• Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per
formance. • If you operate air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface 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.
System maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollu
tants that enter the vehicle through the
heating and air conditioning system.
We recommend the climate control air
filter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer according to the
maintenance schedule. If the car is
being driven in severe conditions
such as dusty or rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter inspec
tions and changes are required.

If the air flow rate suddenly decreas
es, we recommend the system be
checked at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and com
pressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a bad influence on the air condi
tioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
It is important that the correct type
and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com
pressor and abnormal system opera
tion may occur. We recommend the air conditioning
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.i
Because the refriger
ant is at very high pres
sure, the air condition
ing system should only
be serviced by trained
and certified technicians. It is
important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is
used, otherwise damage to the
vehicle and personal injury may
occur.
