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 knob to
the
position and set the fan speed
control knob to the lowest speed
setting.

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.
Have the cabin air filter 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,
the system should be checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Air Cleaner Filter
We recommend that the air cleaner filter
be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
When installing new spark plugs, be sure
that the ignition coils are clean and free
of any oil or debris. Clean and wipe off
the bottom portion of the ignition coil in
order to prevent any contamination with
the spark plug during installation.
WARNING
Do not remove spark plugs from the
vehicle when the engine is hot. You
may damage the engine and may also
risk burn injury.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
The automatic transmission fluid level
does not need to be checked under
normal usage conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid be changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transmission fluid color is red
when new.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
This is a normal condition. It does not
need to be replaced based on the color
change.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified fluid could
result in transmission malfunction and
failure.
Use only specified automatic
transmission fluid. (Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2.)
Dual clutch transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
