Air conditioning system operation tips
ś 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.
ś After sufficient cooling has been 
achieved, switch back from 
recirculation mode to fresh mode.
ś 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.
ś Use the air conditioning system 
every month only for a few minutes 
to ensure maximum system 
performance.
ś 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.
System Maintenance
Cabin air filter
OHI048581L
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Climate control air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The cabin air filter is installed behind 
the glove box. It filters the dust or other 
pollutants that enter the vehicle through 
the heating and air conditioning system.
We recommend that the cabin air filter 
be replaced by an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products according to 
the maintenance schedule. If the vehicle 
is being driven in severe conditions such 
as dusty or rough roads, more frequent 
cabin air filter inspections and changes 
are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases, 
we recommend that the system be 
inspected at an authorized retailer of 
Genesis Branded products.
