Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge shows the temperature
of the engine coolant when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pressure
and could cause severe burns.
Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the
reservoir.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the “H” position, it indi-
cates overheating that may
damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to “If the
Engine Overheats” in chapter 6.

In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

Fan speed control
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for fan operation.
The fan speed control knob allows
you to control the fan speed of the air
flowing from the ventilation system.

WARNING
• Continuous use of the climate
control system in the recircu-
lated 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
the air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
• Continue using the climate
control system in the recircu-
lated 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.

• 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.

shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed

Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with environmentally friendly
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 air conditioning
operates may create water
droplets inside the vehicle. Since
excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equip-
ment, air conditioning should only
be used with the windows 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.
• Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
• 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 is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
