Air conditioning system operation
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.
After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from the recir-
culated 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 condition-
ing system with the windows and
sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
If you operate air conditioner exces- sively, the difference between the
temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause the
outer surface of the windshield to fog
up, causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection knob or
button to the position and fan
speed control to the lower speed.
System Maintenance
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.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent air con-
ditioner filter inspections and
changes are required. If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant andcompressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative influence on the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
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.

Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates in those situations.)
The driver manually moves theshift lever :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manu-
ally moves the shift lever.
The cruise control is activated : The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of the smart cruise control
system. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activating the
cruise control system.) The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situa-
tions. However, an extremely high/
low transmission oil temperature
may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.

- When using tire chains:
Wrong size chains or improperlyinstalled 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, retighten the chains after driving
0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do not use tire chains on vehi- cles equipped with aluminum
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
Use wire chains less than 0.59 inch (15 mm) wide to prevent
damage to the chain’s connec-
tion.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycolcoolant
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 in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Change to "winter weight" oil ifnecessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
Check spark plugs and ignitionsystem
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.

Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level ground in P (Park) with the park-
ing brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about five minutes for the oil to return to
the oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again andcheck the level. The level should
be between F and L.
7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level to F. To prevent damage to your
engine:
Do not overfill with engine oil.
Add oil in small quantities and
recheck level to ensure engine
is not overfilled.
Do not spill engine oil when adding or changing engine oil.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine
components. Wipe off spilled oil
immediately.

Maintenance
Water washing in the engine compartment including high
pressure water washing may
cause the failure of electrical cir-
cuits located in the engine com-
partment.
Never allow water or other liq- uids to come in contact with
electrical/electronic compo-
nents inside the vehicle as this
may damage them. Matte paint finish vehicle (if
equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses
rotating brushes should not be
used as this can damage the sur-
face of your vehicle. A steam
cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may
result the oil to adhere and leave
stains that is difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber
towel or sponge) when washing
your vehicle and dry with a
microfiber towel. When you hand
wash your vehicle, you should not
use a cleaner that finishes with
wax. If the vehicle surface is too
dirty (sand, dirt, dust, contami-
nant, etc.), clean the surface with
water before washing the car.
Waxing
A good coat of wax provides a barri-
er between your paint and environ-
mental contamination.
Keeping a good coat of wax on your
vehicle will help protect it.
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to main-
tain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materi-
als with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be sure
to re-wax these areas even if the rest
of the vehicle does not yet need wax-
ing.

Specifications, Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Recommended SAE viscosity
number Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather.Using oils of any viscosity other than
those recommended could result in
engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle
will be operated in before the next oil
change. Proceed to select the rec-
ommended oil viscosity from the
chart.
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain
plug, or dipstick before check-
ing or draining any lubricant.
This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when
the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and
dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the
engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.
