Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to recir-
culation mode. Return the control
to fresh mode when the unpleas-
ant air outside has diminished.
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 fresh mode and
fan speed to the desired position,
turn on the air conditioning sys-
tem, and adjust the temperature
control to the desired temperature.
Air conditioning
Your HYUNDAI vehicle air condition-
ing system is filled with R-1234yf
refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the air conditioning button.
3. Select the Face Level mode.
4. Set the air intake control toRecirculation mode temporarily to
allow the cabin to cool quickly.
When the desired temperature in
the cabin is reached, change the
air intake control back to Fresh
mode.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
MAX A/C position, then set the fan
speed control to the highest setting. When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
when climbing a steep grade or in
high outside ambient tempera-
tures can cause engine overheat-
ing.
Continue to use the fan, but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the engine temperature gauge
indicates engine overheating.
