Instrument panel vents
The outlet vents can be opened or closed 
separately using the vent control lever. 
If you move the vent control lever to the 
left end, the outlet vents can be closed.
Temperature control
The temperature will increase by turning 
the knob to the right. The temperature 
will decrease by turning the knob to the 
left.
Air intake control
This is used to select outside (fresh) air 
position or recirculated air position. To 
change the air intake control position, 
press 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.

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.

 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.

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.

Auto defogging system (only 
for automatic climate control 
system, if equipped)
Auto defogging help reduce the 
possibility of fogging up the inside of the 
windshield by automatically sensing the 
moisture on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates 
when the heater or air conditioning is on.
 Information
The auto defogging system may not 
operate normally, when the outside 
temperature is below 14°F(-10°C).
To cancel or set the Auto Defogging 
System, keep the front defroster button 
pressed for 3 seconds. The “ADS OFF” 
symbol will be shown in the climate 
display to inform you that the system 
is deactivated. To re-activate the auto 
defogging system, follow the procedure 
mentioned above and the “ADS OFF” 
symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected 
or discharged, it resets to the auto 
defogging status.
 Information
For efficiency, do not select recirculated 
air position while the Auto defogging 
system is operating.
NOTICE
Do not remove the sensor cover located 
on the top of the windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could occur 
and may not be covered by your vehicle 
warranty.

Power outlet
Front
OTM050026
Rear
OTM050031
The power outlet is designed to provide 
power for mobile telephones or other 
devices designed to operate with vehicle 
electrical systems. The devices should 
draw less than 180 watts with the engine 
running.
 WARNING
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.
 CAUTION
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 12 volts electric accessories 
which are less than 180 watts in 
electric capacity.
•	 Adjust the air-conditioner or heater 
to the lowest operating level when 
using the power outlet.
•	 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 electronic 
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 open.
•	 Plug in battery equipped electrical/
electronic devices with reverse 
current protection. The current 
from the battery may flow into the 
vehicle’s electrical/electronic system 
and cause system malfunction.
