Climate control air filter (if equipped) The climate control air filter installed behind the glove box filters the dust or other pollutants that come into the vehi- cle from the outside through the heating and air conditioning system. If dust or other pollutants accumulate in the filter over a period of time, the air flow from the air vents may decrease, resulting in moisture accumulation on the inside of the windshield even when the outside (fresh) air position is selected. If this hap- pens, have the climate control air filter replaced by an authorized Hyundai deal- er.

Features of your vehicle

CAUTION

(cid:129) Replace the filter every 10,000
miles (15,000 km) or once a year. If the car is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty, rough roads,more frequent climate con- trol air filter inspections and changes are required.

(cid:129) When the air flow rate is sudden- ly decreased, the system should be checked at an authorized deal- er.

Checking the amount of air con- ditioner refrigerant and compres- sor lubricant When the amount of refrigerant is low, the performance of the air conditioning is reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ- ence on the air conditioning system. Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, have the system inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

CAUTION

The air conditioning system should be serviced by an authorized Hyundai dealer. Improper service may cause serious injury to the per- son performing the service.

✽✽ NOTICE When the performance of the air condi- tioning system is reduced it is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant is used. Otherwise, dam- age to the compressor and abnormal system operation may occur.
