Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system Precautions
The Parking Distance Warning(Reverse) system may not operate
consistently in some circum-
stances depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the shapes of the
objects detected.
The Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) system may malfunction
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is blocked with snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
Do not spray the sensors or its sur- rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Extreme caution should always
be taken to avoid accidents or
vehicle injuries. Do not solely
rely on the Parking Distance
Warning (Reverse) system.
Always drive safely and cau-
tiously, especially when back-
ing up in reverse.

to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the wind-
shield and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle
with the windows up and
either the heater or the air
conditioning ON for pro-
longed periods of time. Doing
so may increase the levels of
carbon dioxide in the cabin
which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to recircu-
lation mode. Return the control to
Fresh mode when the unpleasant
air outside has diminished. This will
help keep the driver alert and com-
fortable.
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 system,
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. Set the mode to the Face Level mode.
4. Set the air intake control to Recirculation 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.

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
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 con-
ditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
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
Cabin air filter
The cabin air filter is installed behind
the glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehicle
through the heating and air condition-
ing system.
Have the cabin air filter replaced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
according to the maintenance sched-
ule. If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent cabin air
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 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, 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. To
prevent damage, the air condition-
ing system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
