Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventila-
tion system, temporarily set the air in-
take control to the recirculated mode.
Return the control to the fresh mode
when the irritation has passed. This
will help keep the driver alert and com-
fortable.
• To prevent inside of the windshield
from fogging, set the air intake control
to the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust the
temperature control to desired tem-
perature.
Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with a R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the mode to the Face Level
mode.
4. Set the air intake control to the recircu-
lated mode. However, prolonged oper-
ation of the recirculated mode. will ex-
cessively dry the air. In this case,
change the mode.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and tem-
perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature control to the lowest set-
ting (LO) then set the fan speed control to
the highest speed.
NOTICE
• The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified
technicians to insure proper and safe
operation.
• The refrigerant system should be ser-
viced in a well-ventilated place.
• The air conditioning evaporator (cool-
ing coil) shall never be repaired or re-
placed with one removed from a used
or salvaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators shall be certi-
fied (and labeled) as meeting SAE
Standard J2842.
NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the fan
but turn the air conditioning system
off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equip-
ment, air conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.
