Information
Make sure that all warning lights are OFF after starting the vehicle. If any light is still ON, this indicates a situation that needs attention.

Ready Indicator Light

 

This indicator illuminates:
When the vehicle is ready to be driven.

• ON: Normal driving is possible.
• OFF: Normal driving is not possible, or a problem has occurred.
• Blinking: Emergency driving.

When the ready indicator goes off or blinks, there is a problem with the system. In this case, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Service Warning Light

This warning light illuminates:

• When the Start/Stop button is in the ON position. The Service warning light illuminates for 3 seconds and then goes off.

When the warning light illuminates while driving, or does not go off after starting the vehicle, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Power Down Indicator Light

This indicator light illuminates:
When the power is limited for the safety of the high-powered parts of an electric vehicle. The power is limited for the following reasons:

• The high voltage battery level is too low or the voltage is decreasing
• The temperature of the high voltage battery is too high or too low
• The temperature of the motor is high

NOTICE

• Do not accelerate or start the vehicle suddenly when the power down indicator light is illuminated.
• When the power is limited for the safety of high-powered parts of an electric vehicle, the power-down indicator light illuminates. Your vehicle may not be driven, or may roll back on a slope with the indicator light illuminated due to the limitation of vehicle power.

Information
Unless both the Service Warning Light and Power Down Indicator Light illuminate at the same time, it is not a failure.

If a brake fluid leak is found, or if the warning light remains on, or if the brakes do not operate properly, do not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Dual diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with the dual-diagonal braking system. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems fails.
