✽ NOTICE

WARNING

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.

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.

• Continuous operation of the cli-

mate control system in the recir-

culated 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

temperature.

Fan speed control

The ignition switch must be in the ON

position for fan operation.

• Continuous operation of the cli-

mate control system in the recir-

culated 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.

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.

Setting the fan speed control knob to the

“0” position turns off the fan.

Operation Tips

System operation

• To prevent dust or unpleasant fumes

from entering the vehicle 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 irri-

tation has passed to keep fresh air in

the vehicle. This will help keep the driv-

er alert and comfortable.

Ventilation

1. Set the mode to the

position.

2. Set the air intake control to the outside

(fresh) air position.

3. Set the temperature control to the

desired position.

4. Set the fan speed control to the

desired speed.

• Air for the heating/cooling system is

drawn in through the grilles just ahead

of the windshield. Care should be

taken that these are not blocked by

leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.

Heating

1. Set the mode to the

Air conditioning (if equipped)

position.

• To prevent interior fog on the wind-

shield, set the air intake control to the

fresh air position and fan speed to the

desired position, turn on the air condi-

tioning system, and adjust the temper-

ature control to a desired temperature.

Press the A/C button to turn the air con-

ditioning system on (indicator light will

illuminate). To turn the air conditioning

system off, press the button again.

2. Set the air intake control to the outside

(fresh) air position.

3. Set the temperature control to the

desired position.

4. Set the fan speed control to the

desired speed.

5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn

the air conditioning system (if

equipped) on.

• If the windshield fogs up, set the mode

to the

,

position.

• 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)

• While 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.

• While 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.

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 recir-

culated air position. However, pro-

longed operation of the recirculated air

position will excessively dry the air. In

this case, change the air position.

4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem-

perature control to maintain maximum

comfort.

• 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.

• When maximum cooling is desired, set

the temperature control to the extreme

left, set the air intake control to the

recirculated air position, then set the

fan speed control to the highest speed.

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 the filter according to the

Maintenance Schedule in section 7.

If the vehicle is being driven in severe

conditions such as dusty, rough roads,

more frequent climate control air fil-

ter inspections and changes are

required.

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.

• When the air flow rate suddenly

decreases, the system should be

checked at an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

Therefore, if abnormal operation is

found, have the system inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

✽ NOTICE

D230300APB

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.

Climate control air filter

(if equipped)

The climate control air filter installed in

your vehicle filters the dust or other pol-

lutants that come into the vehicle from

the outside through the heating and air

conditioning system. If dust or other pol-

lutants accumulate in the filter over a

period of time, the air flow from the air

vents may decrease, resulting in mois-

ture accumulation inside of the wind-

shield even when the outside (fresh) air

position is selected. If this happens, have

the climate control air filter replaced 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.
