Temperature control (2)
The temperature will increase by turn-
ing the knob to the right. The tempera-
ture will decrease by turning the knobto 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 drawnthrough 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 orcooled according to thefunction 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 windshield and side win-
dows and the air within the passenger
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 speedwhen the engine is running.
NOTICE
i
Continued climate control system operation in the recir-
culated 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.
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 while 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 vehiclethrough the heating and air condi-tioning system.
We recommend that the climate con-
trol air filter be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule. If
the vehicle is being driven in severeconditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent climate controlfilter inspections and changes arerequired.If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, we recommend the system be
checked at 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.
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 airconditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Because the refriger-

pressure, the air condi-tioning system should
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.

trolled manually while 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.

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 windowsand sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside airand that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, causing loss of vis-
