Operates as follows when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
MIST : For a single wiping cycle, move
the lever upward (or downward)
and release it. The wipers will
operate continuously if the lever
is held in this position.
OFF : Wiper is not in operation
INT : Wiper operates intermittently at
the same wiping intervals. Use this
mode in light rain or mist. To vary
the speed setting, turn the speed
control knob.
LO : The wiper runs at a lower speed.
HI : The wiper runs at a higher speed.
i Information
If there is heavy accumulation of snow
or ice on the windshield, defrost the
windshield for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is removed before
using the windshield wipers, to ensure
proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.
Windshield washers
OTL045280ROTL045280R
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation
will continue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, you may
need to add washer fluid to the washer
fluid reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to prevent the
washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.

Recirculation mode
The indicator light on the
button illuminates when
the recirculated air
position is selected.
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from
the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the climate
control system and heated
or cooled according to the
function selected.
Fresh mode
The indicator light on the
button will turn off when
the outside (fresh) air
position is selected.
With the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
i Information
Prolonged use of the air conditioning
with the recirculated air position selected
will result in excessively dry air in the
passenger compartment.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in the recirculated
air position can cause drowsiness
or sleepiness, that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.
• Continued use of the climate
control system operation in the
recirculated air position (without
the air conditioning selected) may
allow humidity to increase inside the
vehicle which may fog the glass and
obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with 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.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also has a bad
influence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Since the refrigerant is
operated at very high
pressure, the air
conditioning system should
only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed
with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individuals
and environment. Failure to heed these
warnings can lead to serious injuries.

Air intake control
OBI3050108OBI3050108
The air intake control button is used to
select either Fresh mode (outside air) or
Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculated air position
The indicator light on the
button illuminates when
the recirculated air
position is selected.
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from
the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the climate
control system and heated
or cooled according to the
function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
The indicator light on the
button will turn off when
the outside (fresh) air
position is selected.
With the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
i Information
Operating the system primarily in Fresh
mode is recommended. Use Recirculation
mode temporarily only when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the A/C
ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in the recirculated
air position can cause drowsiness
or sleepiness, that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. Set the air intake control to
the outside (fresh) mode as much as
possible while driving.
• Continued use of the climate
control system operation in the
recirculated air position (without
the air conditioning selected) may
allow humidity to increase inside the
vehicle which may fog the glass and
obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with air
conditioning or heating system on. It
may cause serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or

[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 pollutants
that enter the vehicle through the
heating and air conditioning system.
We recommend that 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
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.
i Information
• Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
• If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough roads,
more frequent climate control air filter
inspections and changes are required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
Do not use the or 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. Set the mode selection to the
position and fan speed control to a
lower speed.
• For maximum defrosting, set the
temperature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
• 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,
outside rear view mirrors, and all side
windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the hood
and air inlet at the buttom of the
windshield.
i Information
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.
