Convenient features of your vehicle

Floor & Defrost

(A, C, D, E)

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.

Most of the air flow is directed to the

floor and the windshield with a small

amount directed to the side window

defrosters.

Defrost-Level (A, D)

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

OOS047305

Most of the air flow is directed to the

windshield with a small amount of air

directed to the side window defrosters.

MAX A/C-Level (B, D)

(if equipped)

The MAX A/C mode is used to cool

the inside of the vehicle faster. Air

flow is directed toward the upper

body and face.

Air flow is directed towards the face

and the floor.

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

In this mode, the A/C button and the

Recirculation mode button cannot be

selected. Turn the fan speed mode to

adjust.

After the interior cabin has cooled

sufficiently, move the temperature

knob away from the MAX A/C setting

and adjust the knob to the desired

position.

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.

If you wish to continue using A/C ON,

make sure the A/C button LED is illu-

minated.

Instrument panel vents

Temperature control (2)

The temperature will increase by

turning the knob to the right.

The temperature will decrease by

turning the knob to the left.

Information

Using the system primarily in Fresh

mode and Recirculation mode only

when needed is recommended for best

results.

Prolonged operation of the heater in

Recirculation mode and without the

A/C ON can cause fogging of the

windshield.

In addition, prolonged use of the A/C

ON in Recirculation mode may result

in excessively dry, dehumidified air in

the cabin.

Air intake control (7)

The air intake control button is used

to select either Fresh mode (outside

air) or Recirculation mode (cabin air).

OOS047306N

Recirculation mode

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.

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.

To CLOSE the instrument panel

vents perform the following:

Fresh mode

- For the driver side vents, slide the

vent adjustment lever to the LEFT

until it clicks.

When Fresh mode is

selected, air enters the

vehicle from outside and

is heated or cooled

according to the function

selected.

- For the passenger side vents, slide

the vent adjustment lever to the

right until it clicks.

Fan speed control (1)

System Operation

WARNING

Turn the knob to the right to increase

the fan speed and airflow. Turn the

knob to the left to decrease fan

speed and airflow.

Setting the fan speed control knob to

the "0" position turns off the fan.

Cooling / Ventilation

1. Select the Face Level

2. Set the air intake control to fresh

mode.

3. Set the temperature control to the

desired position.

• 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.

4. Set the fan speed control to the

desired speed.

NOTICE

Operating the fan speed when the

ignition switch is in the ON posi-

tion could cause the battery to

discharge. Operate the fan speed

when the engine is running.

Heating

1. Select the Floor Level

2. Set the air intake control to fresh

mode.

3. Set the temperature control to the

desired position.

4. Set the fan speed control to the

desired speed.

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.

Operation Tips

Air conditioning

NOTICE

• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes

from entering the vehicle through

the ventilation system, temporarily

set the air intake control to recircu-

lation mode. Return the control to

Fresh mode when the unpleasant

air outside has diminished.This will

help keep the driver alert and com-

fortable.

• To help prevent the inside of the

windshield from fogging, set the air

intake control to fresh mode and

fan speed to the desired position,

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 are high. 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 overheating.

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.

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.

Air conditioning system operation tips

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.

System Maintenance

Cabin air filter

• 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.

• After sufficient cooling has been

achieved, switch back from the

recirculated air to the fresh outside

air position.

• To help reduce moisture inside of

the windows on rainy or humid

days, decrease the humidity inside

the vehicle by operating the air con-

ditioning system with the windows

and sunroof closed.

• Use the air conditioning system

every month only for a few minutes

to ensure maximum system per-

formance.

Outside air

Therefore, if abnormal operation is

found, have the system inspected by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

core

It is important that the correct

type and amount of oil and refrig-

erant is used. Otherwise, damage

to the compressor and abnormal

system operation may occur. To

prevent damage, the air condition-

ing system in your vehicle should

only be serviced by trained and

certified technicians.

The cabin air filter is installed behind

the glove box. It filters the dust or other

pollutants that enter the vehicle

through the heating and air condition-

ing system.

Have the cabin air filter replaced by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

according to the maintenance sched-

ule. If the vehicle is being driven in

severe conditions such as dusty or

rough roads, more frequent cabin air

filter inspections and changes are

required.

• If you operate air conditioner exces-

sively, 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 the

position

If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-

es, the system should be checked at

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

■ Example

WARNING

Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf

Since the refrigerant is

mildly flammable and

operated at high pres-

sure, the air condition-

ing system should only

be serviced by trained

and certified techni-

cians. It is important

that the correct type and amount

of oil and refrigerant are used.

All refrigerants should be

reclaimed with proper equipment.

Venting refrigerants directly to the

atmosphere is harmful to individu-

als and environment. Failure to

heed these warnings can lead to

serious injuries.
