Convenient features of your vehicle
• 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 be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or sal-
vaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators shall be
certified (and labelled) as meet-
ing SAE Standard J2842.
• When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely whilst driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan but turn
the 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 in
direct 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 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
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.• Use the air conditioning system
every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windscreen could
cause the outer surface of the
windscreen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob to the
position and set the fan speed con-
trol knob to the lowest speed set-
ting.

System maintenance
Climate control air filter
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
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.
NOTICE
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
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.

Driving your vehicle
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing snow
chains.
When using tyre chains:
• Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-
pension, body and wheels.
• Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
• If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retight-
en the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
• Do not use tyre chains on vehi-
cles equipped with aluminium
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
• Use wire chains less than 15 mm
(0.59 in) wide to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its
freezing point is sufficient for the
temperatures anticipated during the
winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance.Inspect the battery
and cables, as specified in the
chapter 7.The battery charging level
can be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer or in a service
station.Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the "winter
weight" oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to the chap-
ter 8. When you are not sure about a
type of winter weight oil, consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect the spark plugs, as speci-
fied in the chapter 7.If necessary,
replace them. Also check all ignition
wirings and components for any
cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being
frozen, spray approved de-icing fluid
or glycerin into key holes. When a
lock opening is already covered with
ice, spray approved de-icing fluid
over the ice to remove it. When an
internal part of a lock freezes, try to
thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
