Get Convenience Features -> Climate control additional features Guide for Hyundai Kona SUV Second Generation (2023-2026)

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

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position may allow

humidity to increase inside the vehicle that could fog the windshield and the side

windows and obscure visibility.

• Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on.

• Continued climate use of recirculated air may cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss

of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position while

driving.

that enter the vehicle through the heating and air conditioning system.

Have the cabin air filter 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 and/or if transporting pets or occupants smoke inside the vehicle, then more

frequent cabin air filter inspections and changes are required.

Information

• Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is being driven

in severe conditions such as dusty, rough roads, more frequent climate control air filter

inspections and changes are required.

• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, have your vehicle inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

well-ventilated area to ensure proper and safe operation.
