Information
Using the system in the fresh air position is
recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air
conditioning selected) can cause fogging of
the windshield and side windows and the
air within the passenger compartment will
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in excessively
dry air in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside the vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air
conditioning or heating system on. It
may cause serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or
body temperature.
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness
or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.
Fan speed control
ONX4050107NTurn the knob to the right to increase
the fan speed and airflow. Turn the knob
to the left to decrease fan speed and
airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to the
“0” position turns off the fan.
NOTICE
Operating the fan speed when the
ignition switch is in the ON position
could cause the battery to discharge.
Operate the fan speed when the engine
is running.

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.
We recommend that the cabin air filter
be 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 climate control filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
we recommend the system be checked
at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Air Conditioning Performance and
Maintenance at Your HYUNDAI
Dealer
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-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.

Automatic heating and air
conditioning
The Automatic Climate Control System
is controlled by setting the desired
temperature.
1. Press the AUTO button.
The modes, fan speeds, air intake and
air-conditioning will be controlled
automatically by the temperature
setting you select.
ONX4E050162
You can control the fan speed in three
stages by pushing the AUTO button
during automatic operation.
-HIGH : Provide rapid air conditioning
and heating with maximum fan speed
setting
-MEDIUM : Provide air conditioning
and heating with mid-level fan speed
setting
-LOW : Fan speed is set to the lowest
setting range (1 to 3 bars range)
2. Turn the temperature control button/
knob to set 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 button/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
The selected function will be
controlled manually while other
functions operate automatically.
For your convenience and to improve
the effectiveness of the climate control,
use the AUTO button and set the
temperature to 72°F (22°C).

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 the
recirculated air to the fresh outside air
position.
• 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 for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
• If you operate the 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 button to
the
position and set the fan speed control knob to the lowest speed
setting.
