Air conditioning
Your Genesis Branded Vehicle air 
conditioning system is filled with R-134a 
or R-1234yf refrigerant.
1.  Start the vehicle.
2.  Touch the A/C icon.
3.  Set the mode to the Face Level ( ) 
mode.
4.  Set the air intake control to 
Recirculation mode temporarily to 
allow the cabin to cool quickly. When 
the desired temperature in the cabin 
is reached, change the air intake 
control back to Fresh mode.
5.  Adjust the fan speed control and 
temperature control to maintain 
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set 
the temperature control to the lowest 
position, then set the fan speed control 
to the highest setting.
NOTICE
When using the air conditioning system, 
monitor the temperature gauge closely 
while driving up hills or in heavy traffic 
when outside temperatures are high. 
Air conditioning system operation 
when climbing a steep grade or in 
high outside ambient temperatures 
can cause vehicle overheating. 
Continue to use the fan, but turn 
the air conditioning system off if the 
temperature gauge indicates vehicle 
overheating.
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 
recirculation 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 
conditioning system with the windows 
and sunroof closed.
•  Use the air conditioning system 
every month only for a few minutes 
to ensure maximum system 
performance.
•  If you operate air conditioner 
excessively, the difference between 
the temperature 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 to the 
 
position and fan speed control to the 
lowest speed.
