the passenger compart-  
ment will be drawn through  
the heating system and  
heated or cooled according  
to the function selected.  
• 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 sys-  
tem on. It may cause serious  
harm or death due to a drop in the  
oxygen level and/or body temper-  
ature.  
Outside (fresh) air position  
With the outside (fresh) air  
position selected, air enters  
the vehicle from outside and  
is heated or cooled accord-  
ing to the function selected.

Fan speed control  
The ignition switch must be in the ON  
position for fan operation.  
• 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 driv-  
ing.  
The fan speed control knob allows you to  
control the fan speed of the air flowing  
from the ventilation system. To change  
the fan speed, turn the knob to the right  
for higher speed or left for lower speed.  
NOTICE  
Prolonged operation of the heater in the  
recirculated air position (without air  
conditioning selected) may cause fog-  
ging of the windshield and side windows  
and the air within the passenger com-  
partment may become stale.  
Setting the fan speed control knob to the  
“0” position turns off the fan.  
In addition, prolonged use of the air  
conditioning with the recirculated air  
position selected will result in excessive-  
ly dry air in the passenger compart-  
ment.

Operation Tips  
System operation  
To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from  
entering the car through the ventilation  
system, temporarily set the air intake  
control to the recirculated air position.  
Be sure to return the control to the  
fresh air position when the irritation  
has passed to keep fresh air in the  
vehicle. This will help keep the driver  
alert and comfortable.

• 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.  
NOTICE  
Air conditioning (if equipped)  
• When using the air conditioning sys-  
tem, monitor the temperature gauge  
closely while driving up hills or in  
heavy traffic when outside tempera-  
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-  
tem operation may cause engine over-  
heating. Continue to use the blower  
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-  
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-  
cates engine overheating.  
• 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 run  
with the windows closed.  
All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems  
are filled with environmentally friendly  
R-134a refrigerant which does not dam-  
age the ozone layer.  
• Use the air conditioning system every  
month only for a few minutes to ensure  
maximum system performance.  
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-  
tioning button.  
2. Set the mode to the  
position.  
• 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 operation  
characteristic.  
3. Set the air intake control to the outside  
air or recirculated air position.  
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem-  
perature control to maintain maximum  
comfort.  
• When maximum cooling is desired, set  
the temperature control to the extreme  
left position, set the air intake control to  
the recirculated air position, then set  
the fan speed control to the highest  
speed.  
• Operating the air conditioning system  
in the recirculated air position provides  
maximum cooling, however, continual  
operation in this mode may cause the  
air inside the vehicle to become stale.  
Air conditioning system operation tips  
• During cooling operation, you may  
occasionally notice a misty air flow  
because of rapid cooling and humid air  
intake. This is a normal system opera-  
tion characteristics.  
• 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.  
To help reduce moisture inside of the  
windows on rainy or humid days,  
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-  
cle by operating the air conditioning  
system.

NOTICE  
Checking the amount of air con-  
ditioner refrigerant and compres-  
sor lubricant  
Outside air  
• Replace (for Europe) or inspect and  
clean (exept Europe) the filter accord-  
ing to the Maintenance Schedule.  
If the car is being driven in severe  
conditions such as dusty or rough  
roads, more frequent air conditioner  
filter inspections and changes (for  
Europe) or cleaning (exept Europe)  
are required.  
• When the air flow rate suddenly  
decreases, the system should be  
checked at an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
Recirculated  
air  
When the amount of refrigerant is low,  
the performance of the air conditioning is  
reduced. Overfilling also has a negative  
impact on the air conditioning system.  
Therefore, if abnormal operation is  
found, have the system inspected by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE  
D230300APA  
It is important when servicing the air  
conditioning system that the correct  
type and amount of oil and refrigerant is  
used. Otherwise, damage to the com-  
pressor and abnormal system operation  
may occur.  
Climate control air filter  
(if equipped)  
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 windshield even when the outside  
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-  
pens, have the climate control air filter  
replaced (for Europe) or inspected (exept  
Europe) by an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
WARNING  
The air conditioning system should  
be serviced by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer. Improper service  
may cause serious injury to the  
person performing the service.
