Instrument panel illumination
When the vehicle’s parking lights or headlights are on, press the upper or lower part of the switch to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination.
Gauges
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle. The speedometer is calibrated in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the correct shift points and to prevent lugging and/or over-revving the engine. When the door is open, or if the engine is not started within 1 minute, the tachometer pointer may move slightly in ON position with the engine OFF. This movement is normal and will not affect the accuracy of the tachometer once the engine is running.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON. Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.
CAUTION
If the gauge moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could cause severe burns. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fueltank. The fuel tank capacity is given in section 8. The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate when the fuel tank is near empty. On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING – Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger. You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the E level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer controlling the driver information system. It displays information related to driving on the LCD screen when the ignition switch is in the ON position. If the battery is disconnected, then all stored driving information (except the odometer) is reset.
Odometer (mi. or km)
The odometer indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven. You will also find the odometer useful to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.
Tripmeter (mi. or km)
TRIP A : Tripmeter
A TRIP B : Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of individual trips selected since the last trip meter reset. The meter’s working range is from 0.0 to 9999.9 miles (0.0 to 9999.9 km). Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the trip meter (TRIP A or TRIP B) is being displayed, clears the trip meter to zero (0.0).
Average fuel consumption (if equipped) (MPG or l/100 km)
This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuel used and the distance since the last average economy reset. The total fuel used is calculated from the fuel consumption input. For an accurate calculation, drive more than 0.03 miles (50 m). Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the average fuel economy is being displayed, clears the average fuel consumption to zero (—-). If the vehicle speed exceeds 1.6 MPH (1km/h) after being refueling, the average fuel economy will be cleared to zero (—-).
Instant fuel consumption (MPG or l/100 km)
This mode calculates the instant fuel consumption every 2 seconds from the driving distance and quantity of fuel injection.
Average speed (MPH or km/h)
This mode calculates the average speed of the vehicle since the last average speed reset. Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the average speed keeps changing while the engine is running. Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the average speed is being displayed, clears the average speed to zero (—).
Elapsed time
This mode indicates the total time traveled since the last driving time reset. Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the driving time keeps increasing while the engine is running. The meter’s working range is from 00:00~99:59. Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the driving time is being displayed, clears the driving time to zero (00:00).
Outside thermometer (if equipped)
The current outside temperature is displayed in 1°C (1°F) increments. The temperature range is between -40°C ~ 60°C (-40°F ~ 140°F).
- The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a general thermometer to prevent the driver from being inattentive.
Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning the ignition switch ON (do not start the engine). Any light that does not illuminate should be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.After starting the engine, check to make sure that all warning lights are off. If any are still on, this indicates a situation thatneeds attention. When releasing the parking brake, the brake system warning light should go off. The fuel warning light will stay on if the fuel level is low.
ECO indicator
Active ECO system When the active ECO is operating the ECO indicator is green. For more detailed information, refer to “Active ECO” in chapter 5.
WARNING
Don’t keep watching the indicator while driving. It will distract you while driving and cause an accident that results in severe personal injury.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON position. This light also comes on when the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is not working properly. If the SRS air bag warning light does not come on, or continuously remains on after operating for about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition switch to the ON position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition switch is turned ON and goes off in approximately 3 seconds if the system is operating normally. If the ABS warning light remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, this indicates that there may be a malfunction with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.
If the ABS warning light turns on while driving
- Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
- Turn on the engine again.
- If the warning light illuminates and turns off in approximately 3 seconds, the system is operating normally. If the warning light does not turn off, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-tion. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer before the car is driven again.
