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 
conditioning system with the windows 
and sunroof closed.
•	 Use the air conditioning system every 
month for a few minutes to ensure 
maximum system performance.
•	 If you operate the air conditioner 
excessively, 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 button 
to the ( 
 ) position and set the fan 
speed control knob to the lowest  
speed setting.

Climate control air filter
OIK047401L
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air  
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower 
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : PTC heater 
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.
 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.
