Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked indirect 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.
During the winter months, use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
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 condensation is
a normal system operation charac-
teristic. Operating the air conditioning sys-
tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
If you operate air conditioner excessively, the difference
between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the wind-
shield could cause the outer sur-
face 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.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 filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

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.
Fan speed control
The fan speed can be set to the
desired speed by turning the fan
speed control knob.
The higher the fan speed is, the
more air is delivered.
To turn off the fan speed, press the
OFF button.

WARNING
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated 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. This may cause
serious harm 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
may cause drowsiness or
sleepiness and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake con-
trol to the outside (fresh) air
position as much as possible
while driving.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
For maximum defrosting, set thetemperature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set
the 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 the
windshield.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be sure to keep the interior surface
of the windshield clean by wiping it
with a clean cloth and glass cleaner.
This will help reduce the tendency of
the glass fogging and also improve
visibility.
Manual climate control system
To defog inside windshield
1. Select desired temperature.
2. Select any fan speed except “0”
position.
3. Select the or position.
4. The outside (fresh) air will be selected automatically.
If the outside (fresh) air position is
not selected automatically, press the
corresponding button manually.

WARNING - 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 that
of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, causing loss of
visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan
speed control knob or button to
a lower speed.
