Hyundai Tucson: Heating and ventilation

There are three controls and two switches for the heating and cooling system. They are: 1. Air flow control. 2. Fan speed control. 3. Temperature control. 4. Air intake control switch. 5. Air conditioning switch.

Fan Speed Control (Blower Control)

This is used to turn the blower fan on and off and to select the fan speed. The blower fan speed, and therefore the volume of air delivered from the system, may be controlled manually by setting the blower control between the "1" and "4" position.

Air Intake Control

This is used to select fresh outside air or recirculating inside air. To change the air intake control mode, (Fresh mode, Recirculation mode) push the control button.

FRESH MODE () : The indicator light on the button goes off when the air intake control is fresh mode.

RECIRCULATION MODE (): The indicator light on the button is illuminated when the air intake control is recirculation mode.

With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected. With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from within the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.

NOTE: It should be noted that prolonged operation of the heating in "Recirculation" mode () may result in fogging of the windshield and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment will become stale. In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the "Recirculation" mode () selected may result in the air within the passenger compartment becoming excessively dry.

Air Flow Control

This is used to turn the blower fan on/off and to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrost air position. The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the inside of the vehicle faster. The "OFF" mode is used to turn the blower fan off.

Face-Level

Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be discharged through the side and center ventilators.

Bi-Level

Air is discharged through the face vents and the floor vents.

Floor-Level

Air is discharged through the floor vents, windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.

Floor-Defrost Level

Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, the floor vents, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator. If the "Floor-Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will be turned on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated.

Defrost-Level

Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator. If the "Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will be turned turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated to improve windshield defrosting.

MAX A/C-Level

Air is discharged through the face level vents. If the "MAX A/C" mode is selected, the A/C will turn on automatically and "Recirculation" mode will be activated.

NOTE: o The air intake control switch will change to "" mode when the ignition switch is turned "ON" with the MAX A/C mode selected. o When you change to another mode from MAX A/C, the A/C and the air intake control switch are set to the following chart.

* The A/C or the air intake control switch returns to its former setting.

Off-Level

Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.

NOTE: If the air flow control is off, the air intake control is set to the fresh mode automatically.

Temperature Control

This control is used to adjust the degree of heating or cooling desired.

Heating controls

For normal heating operation, set the air intake control to the fresh air () position and the air flow control to the floor () position. For faster heating, the air intake control should be set in the recirculate () position. If the windows fog up, set the air flow control to the defrost () position. (The A/C will be on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated.) For maximum heat, rotate the temperature control to "Warm".

Bi-level heating

Your Hyundai is equipped with bi-level heating controls. To use this feature: o Set the air intake control to the fresh air () position. o Set the air flow control at the bi-level () position. o Adjust the fan speed control to the desired speed. o Set the temperature control between "Cool" and "Warm".

Ventilation

To operate the ventilation system: o Set the air intake control to "Fresh" mode (). o To direct all intake air to the dashboard vents, set the airflow control to "Face" (). o Adjust the fan speed control to the desired speed. o Set the temperature control between "Cool" and "Warm".

Operation Tips

o To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the car through the ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control to (). Be sure to return the control to () when the irritation has passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help keep the driver alert and comfortable. o 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. o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set the air intake control to the fresh air () position, fan speed to the desired position, turn on the air conditioning system, and adjust temperature control to desired temperature.
