If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads and/or if transporting
pets or occupants smoke inside the
vehicle, then 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
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor 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.The air conditioning system should
be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
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.

■Example
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.

Maintenance
Do not use strong soap, chemi-cal detergents or hot water, and
do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may leak through
the windows and wet the interi-
or.
To prevent damage to the plastic parts, do not clean with chemi-
cal solvents or strong deter-
gents. Water washing in the fuel cell
power module compartment
including high pressure water
washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in
the fuel cell power module com-
partment.
Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electri-
cal/electronic components inside
the vehicle as this may damage
them. Matte paint finish vehicle
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.

Maintenance
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. Wiping dust or dirt off the body
with a dry cloth will scratch the
finish.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-plat-
ed or anodized aluminum parts.
This may result in damage to the
protective coating and cause
discoloration or paint deteriora-
tion.
Matte paint finish vehicle
Do not use any polish protector
such as a detergent, an abrasive
and a polish. In case wax is
applied, remove the wax immedi-
ately using a silicon remover and
if any tar or tar contaminant is on
the surface use a tar remover to
clean. However, be careful not to
apply too much pressure on the
painted area.
Repairing your vehicle’s finish
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major
repair expense.
If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or
replacement, be sure the body
shop applies anti-corrosion mate-
rials to the parts repaired or
replaced.
Matte paint finish vehicle
In case of matte paint finish vehi-
cles, it is impossible to modify
only the damaged area and repair
of the whole part is necessary. If
the vehicle is damaged and paint-
ing is required, we recommend
that you have your vehicle main-
tained and repaired by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. Take
extreme care, as it is difficult to
restore the quality after the repair.

Hydrogen
System
(7 items)
37. Is it possible that water, oil, etc. may be
introduced to the hydrogen gas tank via
the fuel filler? If yes, what do I need to
do to prevent this?Normally, water and oil cannot flow into the hydrogen tank via the
fuel filler, but it can flow in while refueling. Be careful not to intro-
duce any contaminants via the fuel filler.
38. While refueling the hydrogen, I hear
irregular abnormal noises. Is this noise
cause for concern?
The hydrogen gas is in high pressure (70 MPa) condition when refu-
eled to the vehicle's storage tank. Therefore, you will hear the sound
of the gas flowing in the beginning. Abnormal noise is occurred due
to the gas flow because of the difference in refueling pressure, etc.
depending on the gas pressure condition at the refueling station and
this is very normal.
