 WARNING
•	Continued climate control system 
operation in the recirculated air 
position may allow humidity to 
increase inside the vehicle which 
may fog the glass and obscure 
visibility.
•	 Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air 
conditioning or heating system on. It 
may cause serious harm or death due 
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or 
body temperature.
•	 Continued climate control system 
operation in the recirculated air 
position can cause drowsiness 
or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle 
control. Set the air intake control 
to the outside (fresh) air position as 
much as possible while driving.
Fan speed control
Turn the knob to the right to increase 
the fan speed and airflow. Turn the knob 
to the left to decrease fan speed and 
airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to the 
“0” position turns off the fan.
NOTICE
Operating the fan speed when the 
ignition switch is in the ON position 
could cause the battery to discharge. 
Operate the fan speed when the engine 
is running.
Air conditioning (A/C) (if equipped)
Press the A/C button to turn the air 
conditioning system on (indicator light 
will illuminate). Press the button again to 
turn the air conditioning system off.

Operation Tips
•	 To help 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 driver alert and comfortable.
•	 To prevent interior fog on the 
windshield, set the air intake control 
to the fresh air position and fan speed 
to the desired position, turn on the air 
conditioning system, and adjust the 
temperature control to the desired 
temperature.

 Information
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or 
R-1234yf according to the regulation in 
your country at the time of production. 
You can find out which air conditioning 
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle on 
the label located inside of the hood. Refer 
to chapter 8 for the location of the air 
conditioning refrigerant label.
NOTICE
•	 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) shall never be repaired 
or replaced with one removed from 
a used or salvaged vehicle and new 
replacement MAC evaporators shall 
be certified (and labeled) as meeting 
SAE Standard J2842.
NOTICE
•	When using the air conditioning 
system, monitor the temperature 
gauge closely while driving up 
hills or in heavy traffic when 
outside temperatures are high. 
Air conditioning system operation 
may cause engine overheating. 
Continue to use the fan but turn the 
air conditioning 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 electrical 
equipment, air conditioning should 
only be used with the windows 
closed.

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 windows 
and sunroof closed.
•	 Use the air conditioning system every 
month for a few minutes to ensure 
maximum system performance.
•	 If you operate the air conditioner 
excessively, 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 to 
the 
 position and set the fan speed 
control knob to the lowest speed 
setting.

Cabin air filter
OIK047401L[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
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 conditioning system.
We recommend that the cabin air filter 
be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer according to the maintenance 
schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in severe 
conditions such as dusty or rough roads, 
more frequent climate control filter 
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases, 
we recommend the system be checked 
at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air intake control
This is used to select the outside (fresh) 
air position or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control position, 
push the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air 
position selected, air from the 
passenger compartment will 
be drawn through the heating 
system and heated or cooled 
according to the function 
selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
Type AWith the outside (fresh) air 
position selected, air enters 
the vehicle from outside 
and is heated or cooled 
according to the function 
selected.
Type B
 Information
Using the system in the fresh air position is 
recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the 
recirculated air position (without air 
conditioning selected) can cause fogging of 
the windshield and side windows and the 
air within the passenger compartment will 
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air 
conditioning with the recirculated air 
position selected will result in excessively 
dry air in the passenger compartment.
 WARNING
•	 Continued climate control system 
operation in the recirculated air 
position may allow humidity to 
increase inside the vehicle which 
may fog the glass and obscure 
visibility.
•	 Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air
