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.
Have the cabin air filter 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,
have the system inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is too low
or too high, the performance of the air
conditioning is reduced.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found,
have the system inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
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. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
• The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified
technicians to insure proper and safe
operation.
• The refrigerant system should be
serviced in a well-ventilated place.
• The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) shall never be repaired or
replaced with one removed from a used
or salvaged vehicle and new
replacement MAC evaporators shall be
certified (and labeled) as meeting SAE
Standard J2842.
