Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air position selected, airfrom the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the heat-ing system and heatedor cooled according tothe function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh)air position selected, air
enters the vehicle fromoutside 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 windshield and side
windows and the air within the pas-
senger 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.

■ Type A
■Type B
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position
can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, that may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible while driving.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position(without the air conditioning
selected) 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 injury or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.

Fan speed control
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.
Air conditioning (if equipped)
Push the A/C button to turn the sys-tem on (indicator light will illuminate)
and off.

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. Return thecontrol to the fresh air position
when the irritation has passed.
This will help keep the driver alert
and comfortable.
To help prevent the inside of the windshield 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 the desired tem-
perature.
Air conditioning
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning
Systems are filled with environmen-
tally friendly R-1234yf 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 recir-
culated air position will excessive-
ly dry the air. In this case, changethe air 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 fan, but turn the air conditioning system off if
the engine temperature 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 air con-
ditioning system with the windowsand 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 exces- sively, the difference between the
temperature of the outside air andthat of the windshield could cause
the outer surface 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 be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is being driv-
en in severe conditions such as
dusty or rough roads, more frequentair conditioner 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
reduces the performance of 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.

Air Conditioning refrigerant label
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 Compressorlubricant
Refer to chapter 8 for more detail
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label.

■ Example
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflam-
mable at very high
pressure, the air con-ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and
certified technicians.
It is important that the correcttype and amount of oil and
refrigerant is used. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the vehi-
cle and personal injury.WARNING
