Convenience Features
Information
Operating the system primarily in Fresh
mode is recommended. Use Recirculation
mode temporarily only when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the air
conditioning ON can cause fogging of the
windshield. In addition, prolonged use of
the air conditioning ON in Recirculation
mode may result in excessively dry,
dehumidified air in the cabin and may
promote formation of musty vent odor due
to stagnant air.
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 air conditioning 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.

Operation Tips

[To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through the

air intake control to the recirculation
mode. Return the control to the
Recirculation mode to the Fresh mode
when the unpleasant air outside has
diminished. This will help keep the
driver alert and comfortable.

[To help prevent the inside of the
windshield from fogging, set the air
intake control to fresh mode and the
fan speed to the desired position, turn
on the air conditioning system, and
adjust the temperature control to the
desired temperature.

R-1234yf refrigerant.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Press the air conditioning button.
3. Set the mode to the Face Level

mode.
4. Set the air intake control to
Recirculation mode temporarily to
allow the cabin to cool quickly. When
the desired temperature in the cabin
is reached, change the air intake
control back to Fresh mode.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set

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
recirculation mode to fresh mode.

[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 solar roof closed.

[Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system
performance.

[If you operate 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 to the

position and fan speed control to the
lowest speed.
System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
OHI048581L[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : PTC & Inner condenser
The cabin air filter is installed behind the
front trunk. 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 retailer of Genesis Branded
products according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent cabin air filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
have the system inspected at an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the
performance of the air conditixoning
system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
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.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
refrigerant
Since the refrigerant is
mildly flammable and
operated at high pressure,
the air conditioning system
should only be serviced
by trained and certified
technicians. It is important
that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant
are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed
with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individuals
and environment. Failure to heed these
warnings can lead to serious injuries.
