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.
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
cabin air filter inspections and changes
are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
the system should be checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information

[ Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.

[ If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough
roads, more frequent cabin air filter
inspections and changes are required.

[ When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, have the system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
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 HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant are 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
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.

Driving Your Vehicle6-24
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:

[ ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for people,
especially children, before shifting a
vehicle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).

[ Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then set
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed.

[ When using Manual Shift Mode, do
not use engine braking (shifting from
a high gear to lower gear) rapidly on
slippery roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.

[ To avoid damage to your transaxle,
do not try to accelerate in R (Reverse)
or any forward gear position with the
brakes on.

[ When stopped on slope, do not hold
the vehicle with accelerator pedal.
Use the service brake or the parking
brake.
[
The dual clutch transmission can be
thought of as an automatically shifting
manual transmission. It gives the
driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully
automatic transmission.

[ When D (Drive) is selected, the
transmission will automatically
shift through the gears similar to a
conventional automatic transmission.
Unlike a traditional automatic
transmission, the gear shifting can
sometimes be felt and heard as the
actuators engage the clutches and the
gears are selected.

[ The dual clutch transmission adopts
a dry-type dual clutch, which is
different from the torque converter of
the automatic transmission. It shows
better acceleration performance
and increased fuel efficiency while
driving but initial launch might be
little bit slower than the automatic
transmission.
As a result, gear shifts are sometimes
more noticeable than a conventional
automatic transmission and a light
vibration during launching can be felt
as the transmission speed. This is a
normal condition of the dual clutch
transmission.

[ The dry-type clutch transfers torque
more directly and provides a direct
drive feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transmission. This may be more
noticeable when launching the vehicle
from a stop or when traveling at low,
stop-and-go vehicle speeds.

[ When rapidly accelerating at a low
vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase highly depending on the
vehicle’s driving condition.

[ For smooth launch uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.

Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in
chapter 8. The level of charge in your
battery can be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a service station.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
chapter 8 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and
components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the
container.
Window washer anti-freeze is available
from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and most auto parts outlets. Do not
use engine coolant or other types of
antifreeze as these may damage the
paint finish.
Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or
ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk
the parking brake may freeze, apply
it only temporarily while you put the
gear selector lever in P and block the
rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically
check underneath the car to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the
steering components is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects
or materials in the engine
compartment
Placement of foreign object or materials
which prevent cooling of the engine, in
the engine compartment, may cause a
failure or combustion. The manufacturer
is not responsible for the damage caused
by such placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine
into the key opening. If a lock is covered
with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock
is frozen internally, you may be able to
thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle
the heated key with care to avoid injury.
Drive your vehicle when water vapor
condenses and accumulates inside
the exhaust pipes
When the vehicle is stopped for a
long time in winter while the engine is
running, water vapor may condense and
accumulate inside the exhaust pipes.
Water in the exhaust pipes may cause
noise, etc., but it is drained driving at
medium to high speed.
