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.
