Gauges and Meters

Speedometer

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (4) Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (5)

The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (mph) and/or kilo-meters per hour (km/h).

The speedometer is displayed differently according to the selected drive mode in the Drive Mode Integrated Control System.
For more information, refer to “Drive Mode Integrated Control System” in chapter 5.

ECO guide

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (6)

The ECO guide shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle and the charge/discharge status of the regenerative brakes.

  • POWER:
    It shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle when driving uphill or accelerating. The more electric energy is used, the higher the gauge level.
  • ECO:
    It shows the energy consumption rate during normal driving conditions.
  • CHARGE:
    It shows the charging status of the battery when it is being charged by the regenerative brakes (decelerating or driving on a downhill road). The more electric energy is charged, the lower the gauge level.

State of Charge (SOC) gauge for high voltage battery

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (7)

The SOC gauge shows the charging status of the high voltage battery.
“L (Low)” position on the indicator indicates that there is not enough energy in the high-voltage battery. “H (High)” position indicates that the driving battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motor-ways, make sure to check in advance if the driving battery is charged enough.

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (8)

When there are 2~3 gauge bars (near the “L (Low)” area) on the SOC gauge, the warning lamp turns ON to alert you of the battery level.
When the warning lamp turns ON, the vehicle can drive an additional 12~18 miles (20~30 km) depending on the driving speed, heater/air conditioner, weather, driving style, and other factors. Charging is required.

NOTICE
When there are 1-2 gauge bars left for the high voltage battery, the vehicle speed is limited and then eventually the vehicle will turn OFF. Charge the vehicle immediately.

Odometer

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (9)

The odometer indicates the total distance that the vehicle has been driven and should be used to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.

Distance to Empty

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (10)

  • The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with remaining level of the high voltage battery.
    For more information, refer to “Distance to Empty” in the Electric Vehicle Guide.
  • The distance to empty is displayed differently according to the selected drive mode in the Drive Mode Integrated Control System.
    For more information, refer to “Drive Mode Integrated Control System” in chapter 5.

Outside temperature gauge

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (11)

This gauge indicates the current out-side air temperatures by 1°F (1°C).

  • Temperature range : -40°F ~ 140°F (-40°C ~ 60°C)
    The outside temperature on the dis-play 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:
  • Go to User Settings Mode ➝ Other Features ➝ Temperature Unit.
  • Press the AUTO button for 3 seconds while pressing the OFF button.

Both the temperature unit on the cluster LCD display and climate control screen will change.

Gear shift indicator

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (12)

This indicator displays which gear is selected.

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (13)

Shift indicator pop-up
The pop-up displays the current gear position selected for 2 seconds (P/R/N/D).

Regenerative braking rate indicator

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (14)

While using the regenerative brakes, you may select the regenerative braking rate from 0 to 3 by pulling the paddle shifter.
For more information, refer to “Paddle Shifter (Regenerative Braking Control)” in chapter 5.

Icy road warning light

Cluster Guide 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV Dashboard Instructions (15)

This warning light is to warn the driver the road may be icy.
When the temperature on the out-side temperature gauge is approximately below 40°F (4°C), the Icy Road Warning Light and Outside Temperature Gauge blinks, and then illuminates. Also, the warning chime is sound.

Information
If the icy road warning light appears while driving, you should drive more attentively and safely refraining from over-speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden braking or sharp turning, etc.
