INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The actual cluster in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
- Tachometer
- Speedometer
- Engine coolant temperature gauge
- Fuel gauge
- Warning and indicator lights
- LCD display (including trip computer)
NOTICE
All warning sounds (e.g. welcome/good-bye sound, virtual engine sound) are generated from the exterior amplifiers. If necessary, we
recommend you to purchase a Genesis/Hyundai Part to replace an exterior amplifier. Any unauthorized product may cause a malfunction of the exterior amplifiers.
Instrument Cluster Control
Adjusting instrument cluster illumination
When the vehicle’s parking lights or headlights are on, press the illumination control button to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination. When pressing the illumination control button, the interior switch illumination intensity is also adjusted.
- The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is displayed.
- If the brightness reaches the maximum or minimum level, a chime will sound.
Gauges and Meters
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (mph) and/or kilometers per hour (km/h).
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.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheat-ing that may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the Engine Overheats” in chapter 6.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap or reservoir cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could severely burn. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information
- The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 8.
- The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
- On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
- warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING
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 (Empty)” level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.
Range
The range is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel in the fuel tank. If the estimated distance is below 1 mile (1 km), the cluster will display “—-” as the range.
Information
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the range function may not operate correctly.
- The range may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
- The range may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and the condition of the vehicle.
Outside temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures by 1°F (1°C).
- Temperature range : -40°F ~ 140°F (-40°C ~ 60°C)
The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a general thermometer (to avoid distracting the driver).
To change the temperature unit from °F to °C or °C to °F, it can be selected by one of the following methods:
- Go to the ‘User Settings ➝ Other Features ➝ Temperature Unit’ on the LCD display.
- Press the AUTO button for 3 seconds while pressing the OFF button on the climate control system.
Both the temperature unit on the cluster LCD display and the climate
control screen will change.
Transmission shift indicator
This indicator displays which automatic transmission shift lever is selected.
- Park: P
- Reverse: R
- Neutral: N
- Drive: D
- Manual mode: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Shift indicator pop-up
The pop-up displays the current gear position selected for 2 seconds (P/R/N/D).
