Air conditioning
Your HYUNDAI vehicle air conditioning
system is filled with R-1234yf refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the air conditioning button.
3. Select 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
the temperature control to the MAX A/C
position, then set the fan speed control
to the highest setting.
NOTICE
When using the air conditioning system,
monitor the engine temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in heavy
traffic when outside temperatures are
high. Air conditioning system operation
when climbing a steep grade or in high
outside ambient temperatures can
cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan, but turn the air
conditioning system off if the engine
temperature gauge indicates engine
overheating. Air conditioning system operation tips
[
If the v
ehicle 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 sunroof 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 knob
or button to the
position and fan
speed control to the lower speed.

System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
OIK047401L
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.
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 and/or if
transporting pets or occupants smoke
inside the vehicle, then 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.
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 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.

Automatic Temperature Control
Mode
The Automatic Climate Control System
is controlled by setting the desired
temperature.
For your convenience and to improve the
efficiency of the climate control, use the
AUTO button and set the temperature to
72°F (22°C).

1. Press the AUTO button O.
The modes, fan speeds, air intake and
air-conditioning will be controlled
automatically by the temperature setting
you select.
B0203EC02
A: Driver side, B: Passenger side
2. To select a different set point, turn
the temperature control knob to
the desired temperature. If the
temperature is set to the lowest
setting (Lo), the air conditioning
system will operate continuously.
After the interior has cooled
sufficiently, adjust the knob to
a higher temperature set point
whenever possible.
To turn the automatic operation off,
select any button of the following:
- Mode selection button
- Front windshield defroster button
(Press the button one more time
to deselect the front windshield
defroster function. The ‘AUTO’ sign
will illuminate on the information
display once again.)
- Fan speed control button
- A/C button
The selected function will be controlled
manually while other functions operate
automatically.

NOTICE
Never place anything near the ambient
light/solar sensor to ensure better
control of the heating and cooling
system.

Manual Temperature Control
Mode
The heating and cooling system can be
controlled manually by pushing buttons
other than the AUTO button. In this case,
the system works sequentially according
to the order of buttons selected.
When pressing any button except the
AUTO button while using automatic
operation, the functions not selected will
be controlled automatically.
1. Start the engine.
2. Set the mode to the desired position. To improve the effectiveness of
heating and cooling, select the mode
according to the following:
- Heating:
- Cooling:
3. Set the temperature control to the
desired position.
4. Set the air intake control to Fresh mode.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed. 6. If air conditioning is desired, turn the
air conditioning system on.
7. Press the AUTO button to convert to full automatic control of the system.
When starting the vehicle in cold
weather using manual temperature
control, operate the system in the
following method to improve heating.
- Turn off or lower the blower, right
after starting the engine.
- Allow the engine to warm up during
this time since the air flow from the
heater is still cold.
- After a few minutes of engine warm
up, turn on or set the fan to a higher
level and adjust the temperature
setting to hot.
