Temperature control (2)
The temperature will increase by turn-
ing the knob to the right. The tempera-
ture will decrease by turning the knob
to the left.
Air intake control (7)
This is used to select outside (fresh)
air position or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control posi-
tion, press the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated airposition selected, air from
the passenger compart-
ment will be drawn
through the heating sys-
tem and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air posi-
tion
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Information
Using the system in the fresh air posi-
tion is recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) can cause
fogging of the windscreen and side
windows and the air within the passen-
ger compartment 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 com-
partment.
Fan speed control (1)
Turn the knob to the right to increase
the fan speed and airflow. Turn the
knob to the left to decrease fan
speed and airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to
the “0” position turns off the fan.
Operating the fan speed when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the fan speed
when the engine is running.
NOTICE
i
•Continued climate control
system operation 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
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.
•Continued climate control sys-
tem operation in the recirculat-
ed 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 whilst driving.

System maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the
glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehicle
through the heating and air condi-
tioning system.
We recommend that the climate con-
trol air filter be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
according to the maintenance sched-
ule. If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent climate
control filter inspections and
changes are required.If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, we recommend the system be
checked at a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used. Otherwise, damage
to the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and com-pressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
reduces the performance of the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

Because the refriger-

pressure, the air condi-

only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians. It is impor-
tant that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the vehicle and per-
sonal inju
ry.

Automatic heating and air con-
ditioning
The Automatic Climate Control
System is controlled by setting the
desired temperature.
1. Press the AUTO button. (3)
The modes, fan speeds, air intake
and air-conditioning will be controlled
automatically by the temperature set-
ting you select.
2. Turn the temperature control knob(1) to the desired temperature. If
the temperature is set to the low-
est setting (Lo), the air condition-
ing system will operate continu-
ously. After the interior has cooled
sufficiently, adjust the knob to a
higher temperature set point
whenever possible.
To turn the automatic operation off,
select any button of the following:
- Mode selection button
- Front windscreen defroster button (Press the button one more time to
deselect the front windscreen
defroster function. The 'AUTO' sign
will illuminate on the information
display once again.) - Fan speed control button
The selected function will be con-
trolled manually whilst other func-
tions operate automatically.
For your convenience and to improve
the effectiveness of the climate con-
trol, use the AUTO button and set the
temperature to 23°C (73°F).
Information
Never place anything near the sensor
to ensure better control of the heating
and cooling system.
Manual heating and air condi-
tioning
The heating and cooling system can be
controlled manually by pushing buttons
other than the AUTO button. In this
case, the system works sequentially
according to the order of buttons select-
ed. When pressing any button except
the AUTO button whilst using automat-
ic operation, the functions not selected
will be controlled automatically.
1.Start the engine.
2.Set the mode to the desired position. For improving the effectiveness of
heating and cooling, select:
- Heating:

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 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 con-
ditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
• Use the air conditioning system every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
• If you operate the air conditioner excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windscreen could
cause the outer surface of the wind-
screen to fog up, causing loss of
visibility. In this case, set the mode
selection button to the position
and set the fan speed control knob
to the lowest speed setting.

WINDSCREEN DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
Convenient features of your vehicle• For maximum windscreen defrost-ing, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting and the fan control knob to
the highest fan speed. Select the
front defrost button on the climate
control display. After the engine
warm-up period, warm air will be
directed to the front windscreen.
• If warm air to the floor is desired whilst defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost posi-
tion.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windscreen, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the bon- net and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up inside of the wind-
screen.
Information
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, then a brief engine warm
up period may be required for the
vented air flow to become warm or hot.
Manual climate control system
To defog inside windscreen
1. Select any fan speed except “0” position.
2. Select the desired temperature.
3. Select the or position.
4. The outside (fresh) air will be select- ed automatically. Additionally, the air
conditioning (if equipped) will auto-
matically operate if the mode is
selected to the position.
If the air conditioning and outside
(fresh) air position are not selected
automatically, press the correspon-
ding button manually.

Windscreen 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 windscreen could cause
the outer surface of the wind-
screen 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
lower speed.
