2018 Hyundai Kona climate control

Auto defogging system
(only for automatic climate
control system, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibili-
ty of fogging up the inside of the wind-
screen by automatically sensing the
moisture on inside the windscreen.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below -10 °C.
To cancel or set the Auto Defogging
System, keep the front defroster but-
ton pressed for 3 seconds. The “ADS
OFF” symbol will be shown in the cli-
mate display to inform you that the
system is deactivated. To re-activate
the auto defogging system, follow the
procedure mentioned above and the
“ADS OFF” symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
Information
For efficiency, do not select recirculat-
ed air position whilst the Auto defog-
ging system is operating.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
windscreen glass.
Damage to system parts could
occur and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.

Convenient features of your vehicle
Automatic ventilation
(if equipped)
To increase cabin air quality and
reduce windscreen misting, air recir-
culation mode switches off automati-
cally after about 5 to 30 minutes,
depending on outside temperature,
and the air intake will change to out-
side (fresh) mode.
To cancel or set the automatic venti-
lation feature, select Face level modeand press the air recirculation
mode button for 3 seconds.
When the automatic ventilation is
set, the air recirculation indicator will
blink 6 times. When cancelled, the
indicator will blink 3 times.
Sunroof inside air recirculation
(if equipped)
When the heater or air conditioning
system is on with the sunroof opened,
the outside (fresh) air position will be
automatically selected. At this time, if
you press the recirculated air position
button, the recirculated air position
will be selected but will change back
to the outside (fresh) air position after
3 minutes.
When the sunroof is closed, the air
intake position will return to the orig-
inal position that was selected.

Maintenance
Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the element
more often than the usual recommended
intervals.
• Do not drive with the air cleanerfilter removed. This will result in
excessive engine wear.
• When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt
does not enter the air intake, or
damage may result.
• Use HYUNDAI genuine parts. Use of non-genuine parts could
damage the air flow sensor.
Filter inspection
If the vehicle is operated in the
severely air-polluted cities or on
dusty rough roads for a long period,
it should be inspected more fre-
quently and replaced earlier. When
you, the owner, replace the climate
control air filter, replace it performing
the following procedure, and be care-
ful to avoid damaging other compo-
nents.
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Filter replacement
1. With the glove box open, remove the stoppers on both sides.
2. Remove the support strap (1).

3. Remove the climate control air filter case whilst pressing the lock on the
right side of the cover.
4. Replace the climate control air filter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly. Install a new climate control air filter
in the correct direction with the
arrow symbol(
↓) facing downwards,
otherwise, it may be noisy and the
effectiveness of the filter may be
reduced.

Maintenance
By jump starting
After a jump start from a good bat-
tery, drive the vehicle for 20-30 min-
utes before it is shutoff. The vehicle
may not restart if you shut it off
before the battery had a chance to
adequately recharge. See “Jump
Starting” in chapter 6 for more infor-
mation on jump starting procedures.
Information
An inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health.
Dispose of the battery according to
your local law(s) or regulations.
Reset items
The following items may need to be
reset after the battery has been dis-
charged or the battery has been dis-
connected.
• Auto up/down window
• Sunroof
• Trip computer
• Climate control system
• Driver position memory system
• Clock
• Audio system
i
AGM battery (if equipped)
•Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-
free and we recommend that
the AGM battery be serviced
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer. For charging your
AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers
that are specially developed
for AGM batteries.
•When replacing the AGM bat-
tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement
from a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
•Do not open or remove the
cap on top of the battery. This
may cause leaks of internal
electrolyte that could result in
severe injury.

Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of
tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicatorTo reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
•Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tyres can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.
•Always replace tyres with the
same size as each tyre that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tyres and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
WARNING •When replacing tyres (or
wheels), it is recommended to
replace the two front or two
rear tyres (or wheels) as a
pair. Replacing just one tyre
can seriously affect your vehi-
cle’s handling. If only replac-
ing one pair of tyres, it is rec-
ommended to install the pair
of new tyres on the rear axle.
•Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, HYUNDAI recommends
that tyres be replaced after six
(6) years of normal service.
•Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading condi-
tions can accelerate the aging
process. Failure to follow this
warning may cause sudden
tyre failure, which could lead
to a loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tyre. When
replacing the tyres on the vehicle,
always use a tyre that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tyre.
7. Uniform tyre quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tyre sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width.
For example:
TREAD WEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tyre when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tyre
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tyre graded
100.
The relative performance of tyres
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tyres.
The tyres available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tyre’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tyre marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance.The traction grade assigned to
this tyre is based on straight-
ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
