System operation

Ventilation

  1. Select the Face Level mode.

  2. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.

  3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.

  4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.

Heating

  1. Select the Floor Level mode.

  2. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.

  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 dehumidify the air before it enters into the cabin.

If the windshield fogs up, select the Front & Defrost mode or press the Front Defrost mode.

Operation Tips

  • When starting the vehicle in cold weather a more efficient way to heat the passenger compartment is to do the following:

    • Turn off or lower the blower right after starting the engine.

    • If the engine temperature is still low and the air flow from the heater is still cold, after a few minutes of engine warm up, turn on or set the fan speed to a higher level and adjust the temperature setting to hot.

  • To help keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the vehicle through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control to the recirculation mode. Be sure to return the control to fresh mode position when the irritation has passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This can help keep the driver alert and comfortable.

  • To help prevent interior fog on the windshield, set the air intake control to the fresh air position and the fan speed to the desired position, turn on the air conditioning system, and adjust the temperature control to desired temperature.

Air conditioning

HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems are filled with R-1234yf refrigerant.

  1. Start the engine. Press the air conditioning button.

  2. Select the Face Level mode.

  3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.

  4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control as desired.

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 blower fan but turn the air conditioning system off if the temperature gauge indicates engine overheating.

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.

  • After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from recirculated air position 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 windows and sunroof closed.

  • During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally notice a slight change in engine speed as the air conditioning compressor cycles. This is a normal system operation characteristic.

  • Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure maximum system performance.

  • When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water dripping (or even puddling) on the ground under the passenger side of the vehicle. This is a normal system operation characteristic.

  • If you operate the air conditioner excessively, the difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield may cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, causing loss of visibility. In this case, set the mode selection button to the position and set the fan speed control knob to the lowest speed setting.
