Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with R-134a or R-1234yf refrigerant.
1. Start the vehicle. Push the air
conditioning button.
Set the mode to the (
) position.
2. 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.
3. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Information
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regulation in
your country at the time of production.
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle on
the label located inside of the hood. Refer
to chapter 5 for the location of the air
conditioning refrigerant label.
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) should never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or salvaged
vehicle and new replacement MAC
evaporators should be certified (and
labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
NOTICE
When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle. Since
excessive water droplets may cause
damage to electrical equipment, air
conditioning should only be used with
the windows closed.

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, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
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.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Since the refrigerant is
operated at very high
pressure, the air conditioning
system should only be
serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
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.
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.

NOTICE
When using tire chains: • Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body and wheels.
• Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
• If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km
(0.3~0.6 miles).
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels. If
unavoidable, use a wire type chain.
• Use wire chains less than 12 mm (0.47
in) wide to prevent damage to the
chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in the chapter 9. The battery charging level can be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or in a service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the “winter
weight” oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to the chapter
2. When you are not sure about a type
of winter weight oil, we recommend to
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer, and most vehicle accessory
outlets. Do not use coolant or other types
of anti-freeze solution, to prevent any
damage to the vehicle paint.

Lane Keeping Assist malfunction
and limitations
Lane Keeping Assist malfunction
OTM070035N
When Lane Keeping Assist is not working
properly, the ‘Check Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system’ warning message
will appear and the yellow
indicator
light will illuminate on the cluster. If this
occurs, we recommend that the vehicle
be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Limitations of Lane Keeping Assist
Lane Keeping Assist may not operate
normally or may operate unexpectedly
under the following circumstances: • The lane is contaminated or difficult
to distinguish because,
- The lane markings (or road edge) is covered with rain, snow, dirt, oil,
etc.
- The color of the lane marking (or road edge) is not distinguishable
from the road - There are markings (or road edges)
on the road near the lane or the
markings (or road edges) on the
road looks similar to the lane
markings (or road edge)
- The lane marking (or road edge) is indistinct or damaged
- The shadow is on the lane marking (or road edge) by a median strip,
trees, guardrail, noise barriers, etc.
• The lane number increases or
decreases, or the lane markings (or
road edges) are crossing
• There are more than two lane
markings (or road edges) on the road
• The lane markings (or road edges) are
complicated or a structure substitutes
for the lines, such as a construction
area
• There are road markings, such as
zigzag lanes, crosswalk markings and
road signs
• The lane suddenly disappears, such as
at the intersection
• The lane (or road width) is very wide
or narrow
• There is a road edge without a lane
• There is a boundary structure in the
roadway, such as a tollgate, sidewalk,
curb, etc.
• The distance to the front vehicle is
extremely short or the vehicle in front
is covering the lane marking (or road
edge)

BRAKE FLUID
Checking the brake fluid level
OOSEV078003
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
• Use only the specified brake fluid.
Refer to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in chapter 2.
• Before removing the brake filler cap,
read the warning on the cap.
• Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed container.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake fluid
comes in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immediate medical
attention.
NOTICE
• Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.
• Brake fluid, which has been exposed
to open air for an extended time
should never be used as its quality
cannot be guaranteed. It should be
disposed of properly.
• Don’t put in the wrong kind of fluid.
A few drops of mineral-based oil,
in your brake system can damage
system parts.
