Recirculated air position

i

Information

WARNING

With the recirculated air

position selected, air

from the passenger

compartment will be

drawn through the heat-

ing system and heated

or cooled according to

the function selected.

Prolonged operation of the heater in

the recirculated air position (without

air conditioning selected) may cause

fogging of the windshield and side

windows and the air within the pas-

senger compartment may become

stale.

• Continued use of the climate

control system operation in

the recirculated air position

can cause drowsiness or

sleepiness, that may cause

loss of vehicle control result-

ing in an accident. Set the air

intake control to the outside

(fresh) air position as much as

possible while driving.

• Continued use of the climate

control system operation in

the recirculated air position

(without the air conditioning

selected) may allow humidity

to increase inside the vehicle

which may fog the glass and

obscure visibility.

In addition, prolonged use of the air

conditioning with the recirculated air

position selected will result in exces-

sively dry air in the passenger com-

partment.

Outside (fresh) air position

■ Type A

With the outside (fresh)

air position selected, air

enters the vehicle from

outside and is heated or

cooled according to the

■ Type B

function selected.

• Do not sleep in a vehicle with

the air conditioning or heating

system on. It may cause seri-

ous injury or death due to a

drop in the oxygen level

and/or body temperature.

Operation Tips

NOTICE

• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes

from entering the car through the

ventilation system, temporarily set

the air intake control to the recircu-

lated air position. Return the con-

trol to the fresh air position when

the dust or odor has dissipated.

This will help keep the driver alert

and comfortable.

• To prevent the inside of the wind-

shield from fogging, set the air

intake control to the fresh air posi-

tion and fan speed to the desired

position, turn on the air conditioning

system, and adjust the temperature

control to 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 can cause engine over-

heating. Continue to use the blow-

er fan, but turn the air condition-

ing system off if the engine tem-

perature gauge indicates engine

overheating.

3. Select the Face Level

mode.

4. Set the air intake control to the

recirculated air position. However,

prolonged operation of the recircu-

lated air position will excessively

dry the air. In this case, switch the

air intake control to the outside

(fresh) air position.

5. Adjust the fan speed control and

temperature control to maintain

maximum comfort.

When maximum cooling is desired,

rotate the temperature control knob

until the temperature display indi-

cates Lo. Then set the fan speed

control button to the highest speed.

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.

• After sufficient cooling has been

achieved, switch back from the

recirculated air to the fresh outside

air position.

• If you operate the air conditioner

excessively, the difference

between the temperature of the

outside air and that of the wind-

shield could cause the outer sur-

face of the windshield to fog up,

causing loss of visibility. In this

case, toggle the mode selection

button to the

position and set

the fan speed control knob to the

lowest speed setting.

• 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.

This filter is installed behind the glove

box. It filters the dust or other pollu-

tants that enter the vehicle through the

heating and air conditioning system.

Have the climate control air filter

replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer according to the maintenance

schedule. If the car is being driven in

severe conditions such as dusty or

rough roads, more frequent climate

control air filter inspections and

changes are required.

If the air flow rate suddenly decreas-

es, the system should be checked at

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
