Cabin air filter
OHI048581L
A : Outside air,
B : Recirculated air,
C : Climate control 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 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 conditioning
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.

The Multi-chamber air suspension uses
the air spring containing compressed
air to adjust and maintain the vertical
height of the vehicle both manually or
automatically, according to number of
passengers and load capacity. It also
controls the valve inside the air spring
to adjust stiffness of the air spring and
damper to maximize driving comforts.
Each driving mode provides different
ride comforts.
Vehicle Height Adjustment
[ Press the vehicle height adjustment
button to adjust the height. Pressing
the button will raise the vehicle body
and the indicator light illuminates.
Pressing the button again will return
the vehicle height to its original
position and the indicator light turns
off.[ If the vehicle is driving in high speed,
the vehicle height adjustment is set
to automatic mode and the vehicle
height will return to its original
position although you press the
button.
-While above a certain speed, the
height will be automatically set
depending on the driving speed.
-Vehicle height may differ depending
on the drive mode.
[ Depending on vehicle condition,
height adjustment will not operate or
stop operating, and the indicator light
blinks.
-When the Multi-chamber air
suspension is malfunctioning
-When the vehicle is lifted up.
-When the vehicle is not stable due
to a sudden brake or acceleration.
-When the air compressor is
overheated.
-When the vehicle is not parked on a
level ground.
[ Vehicle height may automatically be
adjusted after 2/4/8/16 hours from
turning off the engine. It is due to the
changes in air temperature.
CAUTION
If the compressor air filter under the
vehicle body is submerged in water,
do not operate the air suspension.
Moisture inflow may damage the
system.
