Air intake control
B5020009
Air intake control is used to select either
Fresh mode (outside air) or Recirculation
mode (cabin air). Recirculation mode
B5020010
When Recirculation mode is selected, air
from the passenger compartment will be
recirculated through the system and
heated or cooled according to the
function selected.
Fresh mode
B5020011

When Fresh mode is selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside and is heated or
cooled according to the function selected.

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.

System Operation
Cooling/Ventilation
1. Select the Face Level ( ) mode in the infotainment system.
2. Set the air intake control to fresh or recirculation mode.
3. Set the temperature to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed to the desired speed.
Heating
1. Select the Floor Level ( ) mode in the infotainment system.

into the cabin.
If the windshield fogs up, select the Front
Defrost ( ) mode.
Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set 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.
Air conditioning
Your HYUNDAI Vehicle air conditioning
system is filled with R-1234yf refrigerant.
1. Touch the 'CLIMATE' icon to display
climate information the infotainment
system.
2. Select 'A/C' icon (indicator light ON) in
the climate information screen to
activate the air-condition.
3. Set the temperature low.
4. Set the direction of air flow by touching the mode selection icon.
5. Touch the 'HEAT' icon (indicator light
OFF) to turn on the air-condition.
When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature to the lowest position,
then set the fan speed control to the
highest setting.
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 vision 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 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,
have the system inspected at 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.
