WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
or position
during cooling operation in extremely
humid weather. 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 could cause
an accident resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the mode
selection knob or button to the
position and fan speed control knob or
button to a lower speed.
[ For maximum defrost performance,
set the temperature control knob
to the highest temperature setting
(rotated all the way to the right) and
the fan speed control to the highest
setting.
[ If warm air to the floor is desired while
defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
[ Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
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
efficiency and to reduce the
probability of fogging up the inside of
the windshield.
NOTICE
If you start the vehicle when the
weather is cold, more adequate way to
heat the cabin is described below.
1. Turn off or lower the blower, right
after engine starting, because
engine temperature is still low and
the air flow is cold.
2. After few minutes of engine warm
up, turn the blower to low to medium
speed and set the temperature
control to Hot.
Manual Climate Control System
OQXI049321
To defog inside windshield
1. Select any fan speed except “0”
position.
2. Select the desired temperature.
3. Select the
or position.
4. Fresh mode will be selected
automatically. Additionally, the
air conditioning will automatically
operate if the mode is selected to the
position.
Check to make sure the A/C is ON. If the
A/C ON LED is not illuminated, press
the A/C button once to turn the air
conditioner ON.

Rear Window Defroster
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the rear window
defroster conducting elements bonded
to the inside surface of the rear window,
never use sharp instruments or window
cleaners containing abrasives to clean
the window.
If you want to defrost and defog
the front windshield, refer to the
“Windshield Defrosting and Defogging”
section in this chapter.
„Manual climate control system
OQX059114L
„Automatic climate control system
OQX059115L
The defroster heats the window to
remove frost, fog and thin ice from the
interior and exterior of the rear window,
while the engine is running.[ To activate the rear window defroster,
press the rear window defroster
button located in the center control
panel. The indicator on the rear
window defroster button illuminates
when the defroster is ON.
[ To turn off the defroster, press the rear
window defroster button again.
Information
[ If there is heavy accumulation of snow
on the rear window, brush it off before
operating the rear defroster.
[ The rear window defroster
automatically turns off after
approximately 20 minutes or when the
ignition switch is in the LOCK/OFF
position.
Side view mirror defroster
(if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the side
view mirror defrosters, they will operate
at the same time you turn on the rear
window defroster.

BRAKE SYSTEM
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied.
Do not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Only pump the brakes on slippery
surfaces if the power assist has been
interrupted to maintain steering control.
Do not pump the brakes on slippery
surfaces if the brakes are operating
normally.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[ Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
[ When descending down a long or
steep hill, move the gear shift lever
to Manual Shift Mode and manually
downshift to a lower gear in order
to control your speed without using
the brake pedal excessively. Applying
the brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.
[ Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down; the
vehicle may also pull to one side
when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test your
brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
Rear drum brakes (if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have wear
indicators. Therefore, have the rear brake
linings inspected if you hear a rear brake
rubbing noise. Also have your rear brakes
inspected each time you change or
rotate your tires and when you have the
front brakes replaced.

Maintenance

Checking the Parking Brake
OQX069005L
Check the stroke of the parking brake
by counting the number of “clicks”
heard while fully applying it from the
released position. Also, the parking brake
alone should securely hold the vehicle
on a fairly steep grade. If the stroke is
more or less than specified, have the
parking brake adjusted by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 6~7 clicks at a force of 44 lbs
(20 kg, 196 N)
Checking the Washer Fluid Level
OQX089008L
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:
[ Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident or damage to paint and
body trim.
[ Do not allow sparks or flames to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.
[ Do not drink washer fluid and avoid
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
harmful to humans and animals.
[ Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.
