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 the inside of the wind- shield from fogging, set the air
intake control to the fresh air posi-
tion and fan speed to the desired
position, turn on the air condition-ing system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired tempera-
ture.
Air conditioning
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning
Systems are filled with environmen-
tally friendly R-134a 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 theair position.
5. 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 fanspeed control to the highest speed. When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy trafficwhen outside temperatures are
high. Air conditioning system
operation can 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.

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.
After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from therecirculated air to the fresh outsideair position.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the airconditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof 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 theoutside 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 lowerspeed.
System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the
glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehiclethrough the heating and air condi-tioning system.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent air con-ditioner filter inspections andchanges are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Checking the amount of air conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative influence on the airconditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used. Otherwise, damageto the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur. The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Because the refriger-
ant is at very high
pressure, the air con-ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. It is important thatthe correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used, oth-
erwise damage to the vehicle
and personal injury may occur.
