The air flow outlet direction is cycled

as follows:

Instrument panel vents

Floor & Defrost

(A, C, D, E)

Most of the air flow is directed to the

floor and the windshield with a small

amount directed to the side window

defrosters.

Face-Level (B, D)

Air flow is directed toward the upper

body and face. Additionally, each

outlet can be controlled to direct the

air discharged from the outlet.

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

OOS047306N

Most of the air flow is directed to the

floor, with a small amount of the air

being directed to the windshield and

side window defrosters.

The instrument panel vent air flow

can be directed up/down or left/right

using the vent adjustment lever.

The air flow can also be CLOSED

using the vent adjustment lever. The

instrument panel air vents are the

"click-to-close" type.

Bi-Level (B, C, D, E)

Defrost-Level (A, D) (6)

Most of the air flow is directed to the

windshield with a small amount of air

directed to the side window defrosters.

Air flow is directed towards the face

and the floor.

To CLOSE the instrument panel

vents perform the following:

- For the driver side vents, slide the

vent adjustment lever to the LEFT

until it clicks.

- For the passenger side vents, slide

the vent adjustment lever to the

right until it clicks.

Fresh mode

Temperature control (1)

WARNING

When Fresh mode is

selected, air enters the

vehicle from outside and

is heated or cooled

according to the function

selected.

Turn the knob to the right to increase

the temperature. Turn the knob to the

left to decrease temperature.

The temperature will increase or

decrease by 1°F/0.5°C for each incre-

mental location. When set to the low-

est temperature setting, the air condi-

tioning will operate continuously.

• Continued use of the climate

control system operation in

Recirculation mode for a pro-

longed period of time may

cause drowsiness to the

occupants in the cabin. This

may lead to loss of vehicle

control which may lead to an

accident.

• Continued use of the climate

control system operation in

Recirculation mode with the

A/C OFF may allow humidity

to increase inside the cabin.

This may cause condensation

to accumulate on the wind-

shield and obscure visibility.

• Do not sleep in your vehicle or

remain parked in your vehicle

with the windows up and

either the heater or the air

conditioning ON for pro-

longed periods of time. Doing

so may increase the levels of

carbon dioxide in the cabin

which may lead to serious

injury or death.

Information

Using the system primarily in Fresh

mode and Recirculation mode only

when needed is recommended for best

results.

Air intake control (9)

The air intake control button is used

to select either Fresh mode (outside

air) or Recirculation mode (cabin air).

Prolonged operation of the heater in

Recirculation mode and without the

A/C ON can cause fogging of the wind-

shield.

In addition, prolonged use of the A/C

ON in Recirculation mode may result in

excessively dry, dehumidified air in the

cabin.

Recirculation mode

When

Recirculation

mode is selected, air

from the passenger

compartment will be

recirculated through the

system and heated or

cooled according to the

function selected.

Information

For better sound quality, fan speed

may automatically slow down for a

couple of minutes when you activate

voice recognition or hands free.

5. If desired, turn the air conditioning

ON with the temperature control

knob set to heat in order to dehu-

midify the air before it enters into

the cabin.

Operating the fan when the igni-

tion switch is in the ON position

could cause the battery to dis-

charge. Operate the fan when the

engine is running.

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 recircu-

lation mode. Return the control to

the to Fresh mode when the

unpleasant air outside has dimin-

ished. This will help keep the driver

alert and comfortable.

• To help prevent the inside of the

windshield from fogging, set the air

intake control to fresh mode and

the fan speed to the desired posi-

tion, turn on the air conditioning

system, and adjust the temperature

control to the desired temperature.

Your HYUNDAI vehicle air condition-

ing system is filled with R-1234yf

refrigerant.

1. Start the engine.

2. Press the air conditioning button.

When using the air conditioning

system, monitor the engine tem-

perature gauge closely while driv-

ing up hills or in heavy traffic

when outside temperatures. Air

conditioning system operation

when climbing a steep grade or in

high outside ambient tempera-

tures can cause engine overheat-

ing. Continue to use the fan, but

turn the air conditioning system

off if the engine temperature

gauge indicates engine overheat-

ing.

3. Set the mode to the Face Level

mode.

4. Set the air intake control to

Recirculation mode temporarily to

allow the cabin to cool quickly.

When the desired temperature in

the cabin is reached, change the

air intake control back to Fresh

mode.

5. Adjust the fan speed control and

temperature control to maintain

maximum comfort.

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.

When maximum cooling is desired,

set the temperature control to the

MAX A/C position, then set the fan

speed control to the highest setting.

• After sufficient cooling has been

achieved, switch back from the

recirculated air to the fresh outside

air position.

3-124

• To help reduce moisture inside of

the windows on rainy or humid

days, decrease the humidity inside

the vehicle by operating the air

conditioning system with the win-

dows and sunroof closed.

• Use the air conditioning system

every month only for a few minutes

to ensure maximum system per-

formance.

• If you operate air conditioner

excessively, the difference between

the temperature of the outside air

and that of the windshield could

cause the outer surface of the

windshield to fog up, causing loss

of visibility. In this case, set the

mode selection knob or button to

Checking the amount of air con-

ditioner refrigerant and com-

pressor lubricant

When the amount of refrigerant is

low, the performance of the air con-

ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also

reduces the performance of the air

conditioning system.
