Convenient features of your vehicle
If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference
between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the wind-
shield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this
case, toggle the mode selection
button to the position and set
the fan speed control knob to the
lowest speed setting.
System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollu-
tants that enter the vehicle through the
heating and air conditioning system.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent climate
control air filter inspections and
changes are required.If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-
es, the system should be checked at
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
reduces the performance of the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrig-
erant is used. Otherwise, damage
to the compressor and abnormal
system operation may occur. To
prevent damage, the air condition-
ing system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.

For maximum windshield defrost-
ing, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting and the fan control knob to
the highest fan speed. Select the
front defrost button on the climate
control display. After the engine
warm-up period, warm air will be
directed to the front windshield.
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 win-
dow, 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 effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up the inside of the wind-
shield.
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.Manual Climate Control System
To defog inside windshield
1. Select any fan speed except "0"
position.
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Select the or position.
4. The outside (fresh) air will be
selected automatically. Additionally,
the air conditioning will automati-
cally operate if the mode is select-
ed to the position.
If the air conditioning and outside
(fresh) air position are not selected
automatically, press the correspon-
ding button manually.
NOTICE
Outside Windshield Moisture
Note that if you operate the air
conditioner to cool your vehicle
with the mode set to or
when the outside relative
humidity is high, moisture may
collect on the outer surface of
the windshield glass causing
the windshield to fog up on the
outside and limit your visibility.
If this occurs, use the wind-
shield wipers to clear the glass.
In addition, change the mode
selection knob or button on the
climate control system to the
mode to redirect cooling air
away from the windshield.

Auto Defogging System
(if equipped)
Auto defogging helps reduce the
possibility of fogging up the inside of
the windshield by automatically
sensing the moisture that accumu-
lates on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi-
cator will illuminate.
If a high amount of humidity is
detected in the vehicle, the Auto
Defogging System will be enabled.
The following steps will be performed
automatically:
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air condition-
ing
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward
the windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recircu-
lated air position is manually select-
ed while Auto Defogging System is
ON, the "ADS OFF" symbol will blink
3 times to signal that the manual
operation has been canceled.
To cancel or reset the
Auto Defogging System
Press the front windshield defroster
button for 3 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
When the Auto Defogging System is
canceled, the ADS OFF symbol will
blink 3 times and ADS OFF will be
displayed on the climate control
information screen.
When the Auto Defogging System is
reset, the ADS OFF symbol will blink
6 times without a signal.

Power Outlet
The accessory 12V power outlet can
be used to plug in electrical equip-
ment such as a mobile phone or
other electronic device.The accessory power outlet only
works with the vehicle turned ON.
The devices should draw less than
180 W with the engine running.
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 12V electric acces-
sories which are less than 180 W
in electric capacity. Adjust the air-conditioner or
heater to the lowest operating
level when using the power out-
let.
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 elec-
tronic 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 blow.
Plug in battery equipped electri-
cal/electronic devices with
reverse current protection. The
current from the battery may
flow into the vehicle’s electri-
cal/electronic system and cause
system malfunction.
NOTICE
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.

The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season
and before traveling to a colder cli-
mate.Checking the Engine Coolant
Level
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen or deteriorated
hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the MAX and MIN marks on
the side of the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring
the level to the MAX mark, but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, see an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling sys-
tem inspection.
