recommended.

The outlet vents can be opened or closed

separately using the vent control lever.

If you move the vent control lever to the

left end, the outlet vents can be closed.

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.

Temperature control

In addition, prolonged use of the air

conditioning with the recirculated air

position selected will result in excessively

dry air in the passenger compartment.

The temperature will increase by turning

the knob to the right. The temperature

will decrease by turning the knob to the

left.

Air intake control

increase inside the vehicle which

may fog the glass and obscure

visibility.

śꢀ Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air

conditioning or heating system on. It

may cause serious harm or death due

to a drop in the oxygen level and/or

body temperature.

Air conditioning system operation tips

Air conditioning

śꢀ 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.

śꢀ After sufficient cooling has been

achieved, switch back from the

recirculated air to the fresh outside air

position.

śꢀ 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 windows

and sunroof closed.

śꢀ Use the air conditioning system every

month for a few minutes to ensure

maximum system performance.

HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems are

filled with R-1234yf refrigerant.

1. Start the engine. Push the air

conditioning button.

2. Set the mode to the

position.

3. Set the air intake control to the

outside air or recirculated air position.

4. Adjust the fan speed control and

temperature control to maintain

maximum comfort.

NOTICE

When using the air conditioning system,

monitor the temperature gauge closely

while driving up hills or in heavy traffic

when outside temperatures are high.

Air conditioning system operation may

cause engine overheating. Continue to

use the fan but turn the air conditioning

system off if the temperature gauge

indicates engine overheating.

śꢀ If you operate the 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 to

the

position and set the fan speed

control knob to the lowest speed

setting.

Checking the amount of air

conditioner refrigerant and

compressor lubricant

System maintenance

Cabin air filter

When the amount of refrigerant is low,

the performance of the air conditioning

is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the

performance of the air conditioning system.

Therefore, if abnormal operation is found,

have the system be inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE

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. To prevent damage, the air

conditioning system in your vehicle

should only be serviced by trained and

certified technicians.

OIK047401L

[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air

[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower

[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core

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 conditioning system.

Have the cabin air filter be 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,

more frequent climate control filter

inspections and changes are required.

If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,

have the system be checked at an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
