Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Be sure to
return the control to the fresh air
position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driv-
er alert and comfortable.
Air for the heating/cooling system
is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windscreen. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind-
screen, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and the fan
speed to the desired position. Turn
on the air conditioning system, and
adjust the temperature control to
the desired temperature.
Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with R-134a or R-1234yf
refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con-
ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the out-
side air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Information
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regulation
in your country at the time of produc-
tion. You can find out which air condi-
tioning refrigerant is applied to your
vehicle on the label located inside of
the bonnet. Refer to chapter 8 for the
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label. The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
The refrigerant system should
be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) should never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or sal-
vaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators should
be certified (and labelled) as
meeting SAE Standard J2842.

You can find out which air condition-
ing refrigerant is applied to your vehi-
cle on the label located inside of the
bonnet. Refer to chapter 8 for the
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label.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, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
We recommend the air conditioning
system be serviced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Because the refriger-
ant is at very high
pressure, the air con-
ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. It is important that
the correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant are used.
Otherwise, it may cause dam-
age to the vehicle and personal
injury.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with
R-1234yf
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflam-
mable at very high
pressure, the air con-
ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and
certified technicians.
It is important that the
correct type and amount of oil

Information
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in
humid weather, air conditioning
may create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to elec-
trical equipment, the air condition-
ing should only be used with the
windows closed.

the outer surface of the wind-
screen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan
speed control knob or button to
lower speed.
