WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. This could result in loss of control and lead to an accident that may cause death, serious injury, or vehicle damage.

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).

Gauges

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 :
  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.
•  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

The SOC gauge shows the charging status of the high-voltage battery.
The “L (Low)” position on the indicator indicates that there is not enough energy in the high-voltage battery. The “H (High)” position indicates that the driving battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motorways, make sure to check in advance if the driving battery is charged enough.
When there are 2 gauge bars (near the “L (Low)” area) on the SOC gauge, the warning light ( ) turns ON to alert you of the battery level.
When the warning light ( ) 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.

Warning Indicator: 2023 Hyundai Kona-N | Instrument Cluster User Guide

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 Gauge 

This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures either in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit.

• Temperature range : -40°F ~ 140°F (-40°C ~ 60°C)
• The outside temperature on the display may not immediately change like a general thermometer so as not to distract the driver.
• The temperature unit (from °C to °F or from °F to °C) can be changed by:
• User Settings mode in the Cluster: You can change the temperature unit in the “Units
• Temperature unit”. Automatic climate control system: While pressing the OFF button, press the AUTO button for 3 seconds or more.

The temperature unit of the instrument cluster and climate control system will change at once.

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 distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining level of the high-voltage battery.
For more details, refer to “Distance to Empty” in the Electric Vehicle Guide in front of the owner’s manual.

Warning Indicator: 2023 Hyundai Kona-N | Instrument Cluster User Manual

Information

• If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to the empty function may not operate correctly.
• The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
• The distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, heater/air conditioning use, and condition of the vehicle.

Reduction gear shift indicator

This indicator displays which gear is selected.

Regenerative braking level indicator

While using the regenerative brakes, you may select the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3 by pulling the paddle shifter.
For more details, refer to “Regenerative Braking System” in Chapter 6.
