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.
System maintenance
Climate control air filter
• After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from recircula-
tion 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 condition-
ing system with the windows and
sunroof closed.
• During air conditioning system opera-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perfor-
mance.
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristic.

[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-
cle from the outside through the heating
and air conditioning system. If dust or
other pollutants accumulate in the filter
over a period of time, the air flow from
the air vents may decrease, resulting in
moisture accumulation on the inside of
the windscreen even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected.
If this happens, we recommend that the
climate control air filter be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windscreen could cause
the outer surface of the windscreen to
fog up, causing loss of visibility. In
this case, set the mode selection but-
ton to the
position and set the
fan speed control knob to the lowest
speed setting.
