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. Select the Face Level mode.
4. Set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. However,
prolonged operation of the recircu-
lated air position will excessively
dry the air. In this case, switch the
air intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position. The indicator
light on the button will turn OFF.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
rotate the temperature control knob
to the left-most position (MAX AC).
Then set the fan speed control knob
to the highest speed.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 can cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blow-
er fan, but turn the air condition-
ing system off if the engine tem-
perature gauge indicates engine
overheating.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct 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
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system
every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.

To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the car through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircu-
lated air position. Return the con-
trol to the fresh air position when
the dust or odor has dissipated.
This will help keep the driver alert
and comfortable.
To prevent the inside of the wind-
shield from fogging, set the air
intake control to the fresh air posi-
tion and fan speed to the desired
position, turn on the air conditioning
system, and adjust the temperature
control to desired temperature.

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.Manual Climate Control System

the windshield to fog up on the
outside and limit your visibility.
If this occurs, use the wind-
shield wipers to clear the glass.
In addition, change the mode
selection knob or button on the

Power Outlet
The accessory 12V power outlet can
be used to plug in electrical equip-
ment such as a mobile phone or
other electronic device.The accessory power outlet only
works with the vehicle turned ON.
The devices should draw less than
180 W 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
in electric capacity. Adjust the air-conditioner or
heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power out-
let.
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 blow.
Plug in battery equipped electri-
cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle’s electri-
cal/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 a wet hand.

To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones ( ). Read the label
on the cellular phone accessory
cover or visit your cellular phone
manufacturer's website to check
whether your cellular phone supports
the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellular
phone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including the
smart key, from the wireless
charging unit. If not, the wireless
charging process may be inter-
rupted. Place the cellular phone
on the center of the charging pad
().
2. The indicator light is orange when
the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator light turns green when
phone charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wire-
less charging function in the user
settings mode on the instrument
cluster. For further information,
refer to the "LCD Display Modes"
in this chapter.If your cellular phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
cellular phone on the charging
pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is
orange.
The indicator light will blink orange
for 10 seconds if there is a malfunc-
tion in the wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
charge your cellular phone again.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display if the cellu-
lar phone is still on the wireless
charging unit after the engine is
turned OFF and the front door is
opened.
Information
For some manufacturer's cellular
phones, the system may not warn you
even though the cellular phone is left
on the wireless charging unit. This is
due to the particular characteristic of
the cellular phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
When placing your cellular
phone on the charging mat,
position the phone in the middle
of the mat for optimal charging
performance. If your cell phone
is off to the side, the charging
rate may be less and in some
cases the cell phone may experi-
ence higher heat conduction.
In some cases, the wireless
charging may stop temporarily
when the Remote Key or Smart
Key is used, either when starting
the vehicle or locking/unlocking
the doors, etc.
When charging certain cellular
phones, the charging indicator
may not change to green when
the cell phone is fully charged.
