Instrument cluster: 2019 Hyundai Kona EV Dashboard Guide
The 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric is a model of cutting-edge design in the field of automotive innovation, which is always changing. The dashboard and instrument panel are the car’s main features and make them look great. The Kona EV’s dashboard is a symphony of digital precision. It’s not just a useful cockpit; it’s an immersive experience that combines advanced technology and features that are designed to make the driving experience better for the driver. The instrument cluster is where all the information is stored and accessed. It shows real-time information about speed, battery life, and navigation, as well as a variety of other signs that make electric driving more enjoyable. As we look at the 2019 Hyundai Kona EV’s dashboard, we’ll learn about its intricate design, how it works, and how well it combines good looks with easy-to-understand controls, showing how form and function can work together in the world of electric movement.

Instrument Cluster
- Power/Charge gauge
- Speedometer
- Warning and indicator lights
- LCD display (including Trip computer)
- Battery SOC (State of Charge) gauge
The actual cluster in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
For more details, refer to the “Gauges and Meters” in this chapter.
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.
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. Doing so could lead to driver distraction which may cause an accident and lead to vehicle damage, serious injury, or death.
-
The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is displayed.
-
If the brightness reaches the maximum or minimum level, a chime will sound.
For information regarding the illumination setting on your audio display, refer to the “Setup” section of your Audio or Navigation manual.
Gauges and Meters
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (mph) and/or kilometres per hour (km/h).
The speedometer is displayed differently according to the selected drive mode.
For more details, refer to “Drive Mode System” in chapter 5.
Sub speedometer
The sub-speedometer is displayed on the cluster when you select ‘Other features → Speedometer subscale’ in the User Settings mode. The sub-speedometer is not displayed if you deselect it in the User Setting mode.
For more details, refer to “LCD Display Mode” in this chapter.
Toque gauge
gauge shows the real-time torque value while driving when SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button.
Power/Charge gauge
The Power/Charge gauge shows the energy consumption rate of the vehicle and the charge/discharge status of the regenerative brakes.
- POWER :
This portion of the gauge indicates the amount of electrical power sup-plied to the EV motor while driving.
- CHARGE :
This portion of the gauge indicates the amount of charging to the EV battery when regenerative braking is applied.
State of Charge (SOC) gauge for high voltage battery
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 your vehicle for long distances on the highway or in rural areas, make sure to check that the State of Charge (SOC) is sufficient to get to your destination and make sure to map out useable charging locations along your route.
When there are only 2 bars remain-ing on the gauge, the SOC level is low. The warning lamp turns ON to alert you that the battery must be charged soon.
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.
Outside temperature indicator
The outside temperature is shown in the lower portion of the cluster LCD display. The units may be displayed in Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).
Temperature range : -40°F ~ 140°F
(-40°C ~ 60°C)
Note that the temperature indicated on the LCD display may not change as quickly as the outside temperature (there may be a slight delay before the temperature changes.)
You can change the temperature unit from °F to °C or °C to °F in the User Settings mode in the cluster:
Go to User Settings Mode ➝ Other
➝ Temperature Unit.
For vehicles equipped with Automatic Climate Control, you can also:
- Press the AUTO button while pressing the OFF button on the climate control unit for 3 seconds
Both the temperature unit on the cluster LCD display and climate control screen will change.
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.
Distance to empty
-
The EV range is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining level of the high-voltage battery.For more details, refer to the “EV Range” section in the Electric Vehicle System Overview manual.
-
Note that the range is displayed in different locations in the instrument cluster depending on the current drive mode selection.For more details, refer to “Drive Mode System” in chapter 5.
Range accumulated from regenerative braking
When ECO mode or ECO+ mode (if equipped) is enabled, the speedometer display includes an additional range value which is accumulated as a result of regenerative braking. The value starts from zero and incrementally increases as the energy from regen braking increases. The display resets to zero when the regen level drops to zero (vehicle accelerating, etc.).
Gear shift indicator
This indicator displays which gear position is selected.
Shift indicator pop-up
The pop-up indicates the current gear position displayed in the cluster for about 2 seconds when shifting into other positions (P/R/N/D).
The shift indicator pop-up function can be activated or deactivated from the User Settings mode in the cluster LCD display.
Regenerative braking level indicator
The level of regenerative braking can be selected by using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The level (0 to 3) is displayed in the lower portion of the cluster LCD display.
For more details, refer to “Regenerative Braking System” in chapter 5..
Smart ECO pedal indicator
When ECO mode or ECO+ mode (if equipped) is enabled, the speedometer display includes a Smart ECO Pedal Indicator. The indicator encourages efficient driving by displaying the desired acceleration to achieve optimum range efficiency.
-
Eco-driving indicator
-
Measure of the driver’s acceleration input
-
A portion of the display that indicates aggressive acceleration (does not achieve optimum range efficiency)
Smart ECO Pedal Indicator -Advantages
- Encourages mild acceleration when driving at low speeds.
- Provides a boundary of efficient acceleration – indicator color changes when the accelerator pedal is pressed beyond the boundary.
- Encourages the driver to maintain a constant speed when driving at high speeds.
