2023 Hyundai Kona Instrument Cluster Control, Gauges and Meters 

The innovative instrument panel in the Hyundai Kona 2023 is both practical and new. It combines advanced control features, informative gauges, and complete meters in a way that works well. As a dynamic center of information about the car, the instrument panel acts as a digital command center that gives drivers real-time information about important parts of their trip. The instrument cluster makes sure that important information, such as speed, fuel level, trip details, and warning lights, is easy to find and easy to understand at a look. In addition to being useful, the instrument cluster is made with controls that are easy to use. This makes it easy for drivers to move through options and change the way displays look. The Hyundai Kona 2023’s instrument cluster is a great example of how technology and convenience can work together to improve the driving experience. It can be used to track fuel economy, change settings, or get warnings about possible problems.

Instrument Cluster Control

Instrument panel illumination

When the vehicle’s position 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. This could result in loss of control and lead to an accident that may cause death, serious injury, or vehicle damage.

•  The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is displayed.  If the brightness reaches to 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 ignition switch is in the ON position.

NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H (Hot)” position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine. Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the Engine Overheats” section in chapter 8.

WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could cause a severe 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 2. 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.

Outside temperature gauge

This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures by 1°F (1°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.) 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 “Other Features – 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 fuel.
•  If the estimated distance is below 1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will display “—” as the distance to empty.

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 trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.5 gallons) of fuel are added to the vehicle. The distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and the condition of the vehicle.
