Instrument panel vents
The outlet vents can be opened or
closed ( ) separately using thethumbwheel.
Also, you can adjust the direction of
air delivery from these vents using
the vent control lever as shown.
Temperature control (1)
The temperature will increase by
turning the knob to the right. The
temperature will decrease by turningthe knob to the left.
Air intake control (9)
This is used to select the outside (fresh) air position or recirculated airposition.
To change the air intake control posi-
tion, push the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated airposition selected, air from the passenger com-
partment will be drawnthrough the heating sys-tem and heated or
cooled according to thefunction selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air
enters the vehicle fromoutside and is heated or
cooled 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.

Ventilation
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to theoutside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
Heating
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to theoutside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.

NOTICE
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.

Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Be sure to
return the control to the fresh air
position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driv-
er alert and comfortable.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to
the desired position, turn on the airconditioning system, and adjust the
temperature control to the desired
temperature.
Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systemsare filled with R-134a or R-1234yf
refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con- ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the out- side air or recirculated air position. 4. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Information
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regulation
in your country at the time of produc-
tion. You can find out which air condi-
tioning refrigerant is applied to your
vehicle on the label located inside of
the hood. Refer to chapter 8 for the
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label.
The refrigerant system should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
The refrigerant system should be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
The air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) shall never berepaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or salvaged
vehicle and new replacement
MAC evaporators shall be certi- fied (and labeled) as meeting SAE
Standard J2842.
When using the air conditioning system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Airconditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan but turnthe air conditioning system off if
the temperature gauge indicates
engine overheating.
When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive
water droplets may cause dam-
age to electrical equipment, air
conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.

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.
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 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-
ibility. In this case, set the mode
selection button to the position
and set the fan speed control knob
to the lowest speed setting.
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 author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is
being driven in severe conditions such
as dusty or rough roads, more fre-quent climate control filter inspectionsand changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, we recommend the system be
checked at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
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.

Air Conditioning refrigerantlabel
The actual Air Conditioning refriger-
ant label in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration. Each symbols and specification on
air conditioning refrigerant label
means as below:
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubri-

You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle onthe label located inside of the hood.
Refer to chapter 8 for the location of
the air conditioning refrigerant label.
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflamma-

only be serviced by
trained and certified
technicians. It is
important that the cor-
rect type and amount of oil and

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 probability
of fogging up inside of the wind-shield.

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
