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 theheating and air conditioning system. 
Have the climate control air filter 
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or
rough roads, more frequent air condi-tioner filter inspections and changesare 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 airconditioning 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, damageto 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.

Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Since the refrigerant 
is operated at very
high pressure, the airconditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. 
All refrigerants should be 
reclaimed with proper equip-ment. 
Venting refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is harmful to
individuals and environment.
Failure to heed these warningscan lead to serious injuries.

To Defrost Outside Windshield
1. Set the fan speed to the highest(extreme right) position.
2. Set the temperature to the extreme hot (HI) position.
3. Press the defroster button ( ). 
4. The outside (fresh) air position will be selected automatically.
If the  position is selected, lower 
fan speed is adjusted to a higher fanspeed.
Defogging Logic
To reduce the probability of fogging up the inside of the windshield, the
air intake or air conditioning are con-trolled automatically according to
certain conditions such as  or 
position. To cancel or return the
defogging logic, do the following. 
1. Turn the POWER button to the ON position.
2. Press the defroster button ( ). 
3. While pressing the air conditioning button (A/C), press the air intake 
control button at least 5 times with-
in 3 seconds. The air intake control button indicator
will blink 3 times. It indicates that the
defogging logic is canceled or
returned to the programmed status. 
If the battery has been discharged or 
disconnected, it resets to the defog
logic status.

Auto Defogging System 
Auto defogging system reduces the 
possibility of fogging up the inside of
the windshield by automaticallysensing the moisture of inside thewindshield. 
The auto defogging system operates when the heater or air conditioning ison.Information 
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below 10 °C (50 °F). When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi-
cator will illuminate.
If higher level of moisture are sensed in
the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System
will operate in the following order: 
Step 1 : Outside air positionStep 2 : Operating the air conditioning
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 Auto Defogging System
Indicator will blink 3 times to signal
that the manual operation has beencanceled.
To cancel or reset the  
Auto Defogging System
Press the front windshield defroster 
button for 3 seconds when the
POWER button is in the ON position.
When the Auto Defogging System is
canceled, ADS OFF symbol will blink3 times and the ADS OFF will be dis-
played on the climate control infor-mation screen. 
When the Auto Defogging System is 
reset, ADS OFF symbol will blink 6times without a signal.
Information 
 When the air conditioning is turned on by Auto defogging system, if you
try to turn off the air conditioning, the
indicator will blink 3 times and the air
conditioning will not be turned off.
 For efficiency, do not select recircu- lated air position while Auto defog-
ging system is operating.
 When Auto defogging mode is selected, fan speed, temperature and
intake mode which is adjusted man-
ually are canceled for better defog-
ging result.

InformationAn inappropriately disposedbattery can be harmful to the 
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.
To prevent damage to your vehi-
cle: 
 Only use a 12-volt power supply (battery or jumper system) to 
jump start your vehicle.
 Do not attempt to jump start your vehicle by push-starting.Jump starting procedure 
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles totouch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the motor compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brakes. Turn
both vehicles OFF. 4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle(1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/
chassis ground of the assisting
vehicle (3).

What to do in an emergency

1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Shift to P (Park) and set the park- ing brake. If the air conditioning is 
on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the vehicle.Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there
is no visible loss of coolant and no
steam, leave the vehicle running
and check to be sure the vehicle
cooling fan is operating. If the fan
is not running, turn the vehicle off 4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when
you stop.)
5. If coolant is leaking out, stop the vehicle immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the radiator
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er for assistance.
Serious loss of coolant indicatesthere is a leak in the cooling sys-tem and we recommend that the
system be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check coolant level in the coolantreservoir.
 Check the windshield washer fluid level.
 Check for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
 Check for vibrations in the steeringwheel. Notice if there is any 
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-tion.
 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, levelroad.
 When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or "hard-to-push" brake pedal.
 If any slipping or changes in the operation of your reduction gear
occurs, check the reduction gear
fluid level.
 Check the reduction gear P (Park) function.
 Check the parking brake. 
 Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air 
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
 Check coolant level in the coolantreservoir.
 Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the brake lights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.
 Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare for tires
that are worn, show uneven wear,or are damaged.
 Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
Be careful when checking your
coolant level when the parts in
the motor compartment are hot.
This may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns and otherinjuries.
