MAX A/C-Level (B, D)

Floor-Level (C, A, D, E)

Air flow is directed toward the upper body

and face.

Most of the air flow is directed to the

floor, with a small amount of the air being

directed to the windshield and side win-

dow defrosters.

In this mode, the air conditioning and the

recirculated air position will be selected

automatically.

Temperature control

Air intake control

This is used to select the outside (fresh)

air position or recirculated air position.

The outlet vents can be opened or closed

separately using the horizontal thumb-

wheel. To close the vent, rotate it left to

the maximum position. To open the vent,

rotate it right to the desired position.

The temperature control knob allows you

to control the temperature of the air flow-

ing from the ventilation system. To

change the air temperature in the pas-

senger compartment, turn the knob to

the right position for warm and hot air or

left position for cooler air.

To change the air intake control position,

push the control button.

Also, you can adjust the direction of air

delivery from these vents using the vent

control lever as shown.

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.

button illuminates when the

recirculated air position is

selected.

• Continued use of the climate con-

trol system operation in the recir-

culated air position may allow

humidity to increase inside the

vehicle which may fog the glass

and obscure visibility.

With the recirculated air

position selected, air from

the passenger compart-

ment will be drawn through

the heating system and

heated or cooled according

to the function selected.

• 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

• Continued use of the climate con-

trol system operation 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 indicator light on the

button does not illuminates

when the outside (fresh) air

position is selected.

With the outside (fresh) air

position selected, air enters

the vehicle from outside and

is heated or cooled accord-

ing to the function selected.

Operation Tips

Air conditioning

✽

NOTICE

• 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.

All HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems

are filled with environmentally friendly

R-134a refrigerant which does not dam-

age the ozone layer.

• When using the air conditioning sys-

tem, monitor the engine temperature

gauge closely while driving up hills or

in heavy traffic when outside temper-

atures 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 engine temperature

gauge indicates 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 oper-

ated with the windows closed.

1. Start the engine. Push the air condi-

tioning button.

2. Set the mode to the

position.

3. Set the air intake control to the outside

air or recirculated air position.

• 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.

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 mode control to

the MAX A/C position, then set the fan

speed control to the highest speed.

• 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 desired temperature.

Air conditioning system operation tips

• 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.

• 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.

Outside air

Recirculated

air

• 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.

• 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.

Blower

Heater core

• 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.

Climate control

air filter

Evaporator

core

• 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.

Climate control air filter

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 by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

• Use the air conditioning system every

month only for a few minutes to ensure

maximum system performance.

Checking the amount of air con-

ditioner refrigerant and compres-

sor lubricant

✽

NOTICE

• Replace the filter according 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 are

required.

• When the air flow rate suddenly

decreases, the system should be

checked at an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

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

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.

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.
