Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant andcompressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air condi-
tioning is reduced. Overfilling also
reduces the performance of the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
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.
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.
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
Refer to chapter 8 for more detail
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label.NOTICE
Because the refrigerant
is mildly inflammable at
very high pressure, the
air conditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and cer-
tified technicians. It is
important that the cor-
rect type and amount of oil and
refrigerant is used. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the vehi-
cle and personal injury.

For maximum defrost perform-
ance, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting (rotated all the way to the
right) and the fan speed control to
the highest setting.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the
mode to the floor-defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, side view mirrors, and all side
windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up the inside of the wind-
shield.
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.
To defog inside windshield
1. Set the fan speed to the desired position.
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Press the defroster button ( ).
4. Fresh mode will be selected auto- matically. Additionally, the air con-
ditioning will automatically operate
according to the detected ambient
temperature.
Check to make sure the air condi-
tioning is ON. If the air conditioning
button LED is not illuminated, press
the air conditioning (A/C) button
once to turn the air conditioner ON.
Check to make sure the air intake
control is in Fresh mode.
NOTICE
Windshield 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 windshield could cause
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, causing loss of
visibility could cause an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan
speed control knob or button to
a lower speed.

Auto Defogging System
Auto defogging helps reduce the pos-
sibility of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the climate control system is on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below 14 °F (-10 °C).
When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi-
cator will illuminate.
If a high amount of humidity is
detected in the vehicle, the Auto
Defogging System will be enabled.
The following steps will be performed
automatically:
Step 1) The A/C button will turn ON.
Step 2) The air intake control will change to Fresh mode under
low outside temperature.
Step 3) The mode will be changed to defrost to direct airflow to the
windshield.
Step 4) The fan speed will be set to MAX. If the air conditioning is off or recircu-
lation mode is manually selected
while Auto Defogging System is ON,
the Auto Defogging System Indicator
will blink 3 times to signal that the
manual operation has been can-
celed.

Power Outlet (if equipped)
The power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 180 W
(Watts) with the engine running. To prevent damage to the Power
Outlets :
Use the power outlet only when
the engine is running and
remove the accessory plug after
use. Using the accessory plug
for prolonged periods of time
with the engine off could cause
the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric acces- sories which are less than 180 W
(Watts) in electric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference
when plugged into a vehicle’s
power outlet. These devices may
cause excessive audio static
and malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used
in your vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made,
the plug may overheat and the
fuse may open.
Plug in battery equipped electri- cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle's electrical/
electronic system and cause
system malfunction.
NOTICE
Avoid electrical shocks. Do not
place your fingers or foreign
objects (pin, etc.) into a power
outlet or touch the power outlet
with wet hands.
