54

Your vehicle is equipped with a dual- diagonal braking system. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the brake circuits is damaged or malfunctions. With only one of the circuits working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. To check bulb operation, check whether the parking brake and brake fluid warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

WARNING

Driving the vehicle with a warning light on is dangerous. If the brake warning light remains on, have the brakes checked and repaired imme- diately by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

✽✽ NOTICE Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) may cause fog- ging of the windshield and side windows and the air within the passenger com- partment may become stale. In addition, prolonged operation of the air conditioning with the recirculated air position selected will result in excessively dry air in the passenger compartment.

WARNING

(cid:129) Continued use of the climate con- trol system operation in the recircu- lated air position may allow humid- ity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.

(cid:129) Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on. It may cause serious harm or death due to a drop in the oxygen level and/or body temperature.

(cid:129) Continued use of the climate con- trol system operation in the recir- culated air position can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.

Operation Tips (cid:129) To prevent dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the vehicle through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control to the recirculated air position. Be sure to return the control to the fresh air position when the irrita- tion has passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help keep the driver alert and comfortable.

(cid:129) Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead of the windshield. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions. (cid:129) To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the fresh air position and fan speed to the desired position, turn on the air condi- tioning system, and adjust the temper- ature control to desired temperature.

2. Set the mode to the 3. Set the air intake control to the recir- culated air position. However, pro- longed operation of the reticulated air position will excessively dry the air. In this case, change the air position.

4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum comfort.

(cid:129) When maximum cooling is desired, set the temperature control to the extreme left position then set the fan speed control to the highest speed.

Features of your vehicle

✽✽ NOTICE • While using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the engine temperature gauge closely while driving up hills or in heavy traffic when outside temper- atures are high. Air conditioning sys- tem operation may cause engine over- heating. Continue to use the blower fan but turn the air conditioning sys- tem off if the engine temperature gauge indicates engine overheating.

• Opening the windows

in humid weather while air conditioning oper- ates may create water droplets inside the vehicle. Since excessive water droplets may cause damage to electri- cal equipment, air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed.

(cid:129) Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides maximum cooling, however, continual operation in this mode may cause the air inside the vehicle to become stale. (cid:129) During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow because of rapid cooling and humid air intake. This is a normal system opera- tion characteristic.

(cid:129) If you operate air conditioner exces- sively, the difference between the tem- perature of the outside air and that of the windshield could cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, causing loss of visibility. In this case, set the mode selection knob or button to the position and fan speed con- trol to the lower speed.

Features of your vehicle

Air conditioning system operation tips (cid:129) 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.

(cid:129) To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid days, decrease the humidity inside the vehi- cle by operating the air conditioning system.

(cid:129) During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a slight change in engine speed as the air conditioning compressor cycles. This is a normal system operation characteristic.

(cid:129) Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure maximum system performance.

(cid:129) When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip- ping (or even puddling) on the ground under the passenger side of the vehi- cle. This is a normal system operation characteristic.

Climate control air filter 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 dealer.

✽✽ NOTICE • Replace the filter according to the

Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty, rough roads, more frequent climate control air fil- ter inspections and changes are required.

• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, the system should be checked at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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 negative influence on the air conditioning system. Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, have the system inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Features of your vehicle

✽✽ NOTICE It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant is used. Otherwise, damage to the compressor and abnormal system operation may occur.

WARNING

The air conditioning system should be serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Improper service may cause serious injury to the person performing the service.
