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 con-
ditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
If you operate air conditioner exces-
sively, 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 or button to the position
and fan speed control to the lower
speed.
System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
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 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 air condi-
tioner 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 con-
ditioner refrigerant and com-
pressor 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.

Maintenance
Air Cleaner Filter
A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter
is recommended when the filter is
replaced.
Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Intelligent Variable
Transmission (IVT) Fluid
(if equipped)
Intelligent Variable Transmission
(IVT) Fluid should not be checked
under normal usage conditions. But,
the Intelligent Variable Transmission
(IVT) Fluid should be changed under
severe usage conditions. We recom-
mend that the Intelligent Variable
Transmission (IVT) Fluid changed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
(Refer to "Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" in this
chapter.)
Intelligent variable transmission
(IVT) fluid color is basically light
amber.
As the vehicle is driven, the intelli-
gent variable transmission (IVT)
fluid will begin to look darker. This
is a normal condition and you
should not judge the need to
replace the fluid based upon the
changed color.
NOTICE
The use of non-specified fluid
(even marked as compatible
with genuine) could result in
shift quality deterioration and
vibrations, and eventual trans-
mission failure.
Use only specified Intelligent
Variable Transmission (IVT)
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended
lubricants and capacities" in
chapter 8.)
