 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.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
 WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the 
 position during 
cooling operation in extremely humid 
weather. 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 could cause 
an accident resulting in serious injury 
or death. In this case, set the mode 
selection button to the 
 position 
and fan speed control knob to a lower 
speed.
•	 For maximum defrost performance, 
set the temperature control to the 
highest temperature setting and 
the fan speed control to the highest 
setting.
•	 If warm air to the floor is desired while 
defrosting or defogging, set the mode 
to the floor-defrost position.
•	 Before driving, clear all snow and ice 
from the windshield, rear window, 
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 
efficiency and to reduce the 
probability of fogging up the inside of 
the windshield.
NOTICE
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.
