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-
ant is at very high
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.

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:
- Cooling:
3.Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4.Set the air intake control to the out- side (fresh) air position.
5.Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6.If air conditioning is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
7.Press the AUTO button to convert to full automatic control of the sys-
tem.

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.

4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
If the windscreen fogs up, set the mode to the or position.
NOTICE
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.

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 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.
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.

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 to lower
speed.

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 top of the wind-
screen glass.
Damage to system parts could
occur and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.
