according to the following:
- Heating:
- Cooling:
3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the air intake control to fresh
mode or recirculation mode position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the
desired speed.
6. If air conditioning is desired, turn the

When starting the vehicle in cold
weather a more efficient way to heat
the passenger compartment is to do the
following.
- Turn off or lower the blower, right
after starting the engine.
Engine temperature is still low and
the air flow from the heater is still
cold.
- After a few minutes of engine warm
up, turn on or set the fan to a higher
level and adjust the temperature
setting to hot.

The mode selection knob controls the
direction of the air flow through the
ventilation system. Air can be directed
to the floor, dashboard outlets, or
windshield. Five symbols are used to
represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-
Defrost and Defrost air position.
Air flow is directed toward the upper
body and face. Additionally, each outlet
can be controlled to direct the air
discharged from the outlet.
Air flow is directed towards the face and
the floor.
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the air
being directed to the windshield and side
window defrosters.
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor and the windshield with a small
amount directed to the side window
defrosters.
Most of the air flow is directed to the
windshield with a small amount of air
directed to the side window defrosters.

The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the
inside of the vehicle faster. Air flow is
directed toward the upper body and
face.
In this mode, the A/C button and the
Recirculation mode button cannot be
selected. Turn the fan speed mode to
adjust.
After the interior cabin has cooled
sufficiently, move the temperature knob
away from the MAX A/C setting and
adjust the knob to the desired position.
If you wish to continue using A/C
ON, make sure the A/C button LED is
illuminated.

WARNING
Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode for a prolonged period of
time may cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This may lead
to loss of vehicle control which may
lead to an accident.
Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode with the A/C OFF may allow
humidity to increase inside the
cabin. This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the windshield and
obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle with
the windows up and either the
heater or the air conditioning ON for
prolonged periods of time. Doing so
may increase the levels of carbon
dioxide in the cabin which may lead
to serious injury or death.
Fan speed control (1)
Turn the knob to the right to increase
the fan speed and airflow. Turn the knob
to the left to decrease fan speed and
airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to the
“0” position turns off the fan.
NOTICE
Operating the fan speed when the
ignition switch is in the ON position
could cause the battery to discharge.
Operate the fan speed when the engine
is running.
Air conditioning A/C (5)
Push the A/C button to turn the system
on (indicator light will illuminate) and off.
System operation
Ventilation
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the
outside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the
desired speed.
Heating
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the
outside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the
desired speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired,
turn the air conditioning system (if
equipped) on.
If the windshield fogs up, set the mode
to the or position.
To help keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set the
air intake control to the recirculated
air position. Be sure to return the
control to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed to keep fresh
air in the vehicle. This will help keep
the driver alert and comfortable.
To prevent interior fog on the
windshield, set the air intake control
to the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust the
temperature control to the desired
temperature.

filled with R-1234yf refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air
conditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the
outside air or recirculated air position.

temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Information
NOTICE
The refrigerant system should only
be serviced by trained and certified
technicians to insure proper and safe
operation.
The refrigerant system should be
serviced in a well-ventilated place.
The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) shall never be repaired
or replaced with one removed from
a used or salvaged vehicle and new
replacement MAC evaporators shall
be certified (and labeled) as meeting
SAE Standard J2842.
NOTICE
When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely while driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high.
Air conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan but turn the
air conditioning system off if the
temperature gauge indicates engine
overheating.
When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets
may cause damage to electrical
equipment, air conditioning should
only be used with the windows
closed.

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 knob to
the position and set the fan speed
control knob to the lowest speed
setting.
System maintenance
Cabin air filter
OIK047401L
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The cabin air 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 cabin 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,
have the system checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
