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 speed
when the engine is running.
Air conditioning (A/C) (6)
(if equipped)
Press the A/C button to turn the air
conditioning system on (indicator
light will illuminate). Press the button
again to turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off.

To turn on the 3rd row air condition-
ing control system
1. Press the 3rd row air conditioning
ON/OFF button (8) located on the
front climate control panel and set
the fan speed to the desired speed
with the 3rd row fan speed knob
(9). (indicator light on the ON/OFF
button will illuminate).
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.

Ventilation
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the
outside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the
desired speed.

1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the
outside (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 (if
equipped) on.
If the windscreen fogs up, set the
mode to the or position.
Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from 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-
screen, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to the
desired temperature.
Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are 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 bonnet. 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 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.

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 Compressor lubri-
cant
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle on
the label located inside of the bonnet.
Refer to chapter 8 for the location of
the air conditioning refrigerant label.
Convenient features of your vehicle
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflamma-
ble at very high pres-
sure, the air condition-
ing system should only
be serviced by trained
and certified techni-
cians. It is important
that the correct type and amount
of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause dam-
age to the vehicle and personal
injury.
