Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from
the passenger compart
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
air intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible while driving.

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.

Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove

that enter the vehicle through the heat
ing and air conditioning system.
We recommend the climate control airfilter 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 frequentair conditioner filter inspections and
changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,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 refrigerant
is at very high pressure,
the air conditioning sys
tem should only be serv
iced by trained and certi
fied 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.
WARNING

Auto defogging system
(only for automatic climate
control system, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility
of fogging up the inside of the wind
shield by automatically sensing the
moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below 10 °C. When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi
cator will illuminate.
If higher level of moisture are sensed
in the vehicle, the Auto Defogging
System will operate in the following
order:
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recircu
lated air position is manually selected
while Auto Defogging System is ON,
the Auto Defogging System Indicator
will blink 3 times to signal that the
manual operation has been canceled.
To cancel or reset the Auto Defogging
System
Press the front windshield defroster
button for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. When the
Auto Defogging System is canceled,
ADS OFF symbol will blink 3 times
and the ADS OFF will be displayed on
the climate control information screen.
When the Auto Defogging System is
reset, ADS OFF symbol will blink 6
times without a signal.
Information
• When the air conditioning is turned on by Auto defogging system, if you
try to turn off the air conditioning, the
indicator will blink 3 times and the air
conditioning will not be turned off.
• For efficiency, do not select recircu lated air position while Auto defog
ging system is operating.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the driv
er side windshield glass.

Maintenance
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (Full) and L (Low)
marked on the side of the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cool. If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water (except
Middle East) or add enough pre
mixed coolant (for Middle East).
Bring the level to F (Full), but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con
trolled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed. It may some
times operate even when the
engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan
so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blades. As the engine
coolant temperature decreases,
the electric motor will automatical
ly shut off. This is a normal condi
tion.
The electric motor (cooling fan)
may operate until you disconnect
the negative battery cable.
