Information

WARNING

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.

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.

• 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.

OTL045212

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.

• 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.

System Operation

• 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.

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.

• 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.

Air conditioning

NOTICE

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. The indicator

light on the button will turn OFF.

5. Adjust the fan speed control and

temperature control to maintain

maximum comfort.

When maximum cooling is desired,

rotate the temperature control knob

to the left-most position (MAX AC).

Then set the fan speed control knob

to the highest speed.

• Use the air conditioning system

every month for a few minutes to

ensure maximum system perform-

ance.

Checking the amount of air

conditioner refrigerant and

compressor lubricant

When the amount of refrigerant is

low, the performance of the air con-

ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also

has a negative influence on the air

conditioning system.
