System Maintenance - Hyundai i10 Owner's Manual

i
Information
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst 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
blower fan but turn the air condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates 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.
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 recircula-
tion mode to fresh mode.
• To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the
vehicle by operating the air condition-
ing system with the windows and
sunroof closed.
• 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.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perfor-
mance.
• 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 opera-
tion characteristic.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference bet-ween
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windscreen could cause
the outer surface of the windscreen to
fog up, causing loss of visibility. In
this case, set the mode selection but-
ton to the position and set the
fan speed control knob to the lowest
speed setting.
