HYUNDAI MOTOR GROUP DEVELOPS AIR-CONDITIONING TECHNOLOGIES TO MAINTAIN CLEAN
AIR IN VEHICLESVEHICLES GEARED WITH MINIMUM 2 YEARS’ SERVICE & WARRANTY PACKAGE
Hyundai Motor Group announced new
technologies to improve the quality of
air in vehicles and create a more pleas-
ant indoor environment for customers.
Recognizing the growing concern
about air quality, the Group unveiled
three new air-conditioning technolo-
gies – ‘After-Blow’, ‘Multi-Air Mode’,
and ‘Fine Dust Indicator’. The tech-
nologies will be introduced initially on
select models in Korea and expand to
upcoming Hyundai vehicles worldwide
in the future.
After-Blow Technology
‘After-Blow’ dries the condensate on
the evaporator and suppresses mold
growth in the air-conditioning system,
which can cause an odor during hot
weather.
After the engine is turned off and the
condensate on the evaporator drains
naturally for about 30 minutes, ‘Af-
ter-Blow’ activates for 10 minutes to
dry the evaporator and any conden-
sate leftover in the air passage. The
