10 minutes, or until the snow
and/or ice is removed before
using the windshield wipers to
ensure proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the
wiper and washer, it may dam-
age the wiper and washer sys-tem.
When the wipers do not properly wipe out the front windshield,
they may be worn out or
cracked. In this case, replace the
wipers with the new ones.Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upperend of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the

the washer fluid level. If the fluid level
is not sufficient, you will need to add
appropriate non-abrasive windshield
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the passenger side.

Recirculated air position
With the recirculatedair position selected, air from the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through theheating system andheated or cooled
according to the func-tion selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) air position selected,
air enters the vehiclefrom outside and isheated or cooledaccording to the func-tion selected. Prolonged operation of the heater
in the recirculated air position(without air conditioning selected)
may cause fogging of the wind-
shield and side windows and the
air within the passenger compart-
ment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the
air conditioning with the recircu-lated air position selected will
result in excessively dry air in the
passenger compartment.
NOTICE
Continue using the climate
control system in the recircu-
lated air position may allowhumidity 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.

Replace the filter according tothe Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty
or rough roads, more frequentair conditioner filter inspections
and changes are required.
When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, we recommend that
the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant andcompressor 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, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important when servicing the air conditioning system that thecorrect type and amount of oil and
refrigerant is used. Otherwise,
damage to the compressor and
abnormal system operation may
occur.
