Never place anything near the 
sensor to ensure better control ofthe heating and cooling system.
Manual Heating and Air Conditioning
The heating and cooling system can 
be controlled manually by pushing
buttons other than the AUTO button.
In this case, the system workssequentially according to the order of
buttons selected. 
When pressing any button except the 
AUTO button while using automatic
operation, the functions not selected
will be controlled automatically. 
1. Start the vehicle ( indicatorON).
2. Set the mode to the desired posi- tion.
To improve the effectiveness of heating and cooling:
- Heating:- Cooling: 3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6. If air conditioning is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
7. Press the AUTO button in order to convert to full automatic control of the system.

Air conditioning  
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning 
Systems are filled with environmen-
tally friendly R-134a refrigerant. 
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the mode to the Face Levelmode.
4. Set the air intake control to the recirculated air position. However, 
prolonged operation of the recircu-
lated air position will excessively
dry the air. In this case, change theair position.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
extreme left position then set the fanspeed control to the highest speed.
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 therecirculated air to the fresh outsideair position.
 To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the airconditioning system with the win-
dows 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
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside airand 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.

 For maximum defrosting, set the
temperature control to the extreme 
right/hot position and the fan speedcontrol to the highest speed.
 If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set themode 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.To Defog Inside Windshield
1. Select desired fan speed. 
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Press the defroster button ( ).
4. The outside (fresh) air position will be selected automatically.
If the outside (fresh) air position is 
not selected automatically, adjust the
corresponding button manually. 
If the  position is selected, lower 
fan speed is adjusted to a higher fanspeed.

Windshield heating  
Do not use the  or  posi- tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-ature of the outside air and thatof the windshield could causethe outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, causing loss ofvisibility could cause an acci-dent resulting in serious injur or
death. In this case, set the mode
selection button to the  posi-
tion and fan speed control knob
or button to a lower speed.

Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on 
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
Use approved window washeranti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
most auto parts outlets. Do not use
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
as these may damage the paint fin-ish.
Do not let your parking brakefreeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you shift to P (Park) and block therear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
car to be sure the movement of the
front wheels and the steering com-
ponents is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects ormaterials in the motor compart-
ment
Placement of foreign object or mate-
rials which prevent cooling of the
vehicle, in the motor compartment,
may cause a failure. The manufactur-
er is not responsible for the damage
caused by such placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.
