AUTO headlamp position
The position lamp and headlamp will 
be turned ON or OFF automatically 
depending on the amount of daylight as 
measured by the ambient light sensor (1) 
at the upper end of the windshield glass.
Even with the AUTO headlamp feature 
in operation, it is recommended to 
manually turn ON the headlamps when 
driving at night or in a fog, driving in the 
rain, or when you enter dark areas, such 
as tunnels and parking facilities.
NOTICE
•	Do not cover or spill anything on the 
sensor (1) located at the upper end of 
the windshield glass.
•	 Do not clean the sensor using 
a window cleaner, the cleanser 
may leave a light film which could 
interfere with sensor operation.
•	 If your vehicle has window tint or 
other types of metallic coating on 
the front windshield, the AUTO 
headlamp system may not work 
properly.

Limitations of the system
High Beam Assist may not work properly 
in the following situations:
•	Light from a vehicle is not detected 
because of lamp damage, or because 
it is hidden from sight, etc.
•	 Headlamp of a vehicle is covered with 
dust, snow or water.
•	 A vehicle’s headlamps are off but the

For more details on the limitations 
of the front view camera, refer to 
“Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
(FCA)” section in chapter 7.  WARNING
•	 At times, High Beam Assist may not 
work properly. It is the responsibility 
of the driver for safe driving 
practices and always check the road 
conditions for your safety.
•	 When High Beam Assist does 
not operate normally, change 
the headlamp position manually 
between high beam and low beam.

 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.

 If dehumidified heating is desir
ed, 
turn the air conditioning system (if 
equipped) on.
If the windshield fogs up, set the mode 
to the 
 or  position.
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.

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.

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.
