❈ The actual cluster in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
Instrument panel illumination (if equipped)
Press the illumination control switch to adjust the instrument panel illumination intensity. The vehicle’s parking lights or headlights should be on to adjust the instrument panel illumination.
Gauges
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle. The speedometer is calibrated in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour.
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. When the door is open, or if the engine is not started within 1 minute, the tachometer pointer may move slightly in the ON position with the engine OFF. This movement is normal and will not affect the accuracy of the tachometer once the engine is running.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON. Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.
CAUTION
If the gauge moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could cause severe burns. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in section 8. The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate when the fuel tank is near empty. On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING – Fuel gauge
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 level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter.
Odometer (mi. or km)
The odometer indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven. You will also find the odometer useful to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer controlling the driver information system. It displays information related to driving on the LCD screen when the ignition switch is in the ON position. If the battery is disconnected, then all stored driving information (except the odometer) is reset.
Press the TRIP button for less than 1 second to select any mode as follows:
Tripmeter (mi. or km)
- TRIP A: Tripmeter A
- TRIP B: Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of individual trips selected since the last trip meter reset. The meter’s working range is from 0.0 to 999.9 miles (0.0 to 999.9 km). Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the trip meter (TRIP A or TRIP B) is being displayed, clears the trip meter to zero (0.0).
Distance to empty (mi. or km)
This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty based on the current fuel in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. When the remaining distance is below 30 miles (50 km), “—” will be displayed and the distance to empty indicator will blink. The meter’s working range is from 30 to 999 miles (50 to 999 km).
Average fuel economy (if equipped) (MPG or l/100 km)
This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuel used and the distance since the last average economy reset. The total fuel used is calculated from the fuel consumption input. For an accurate calculation, drive more than 0.03 miles (50 m). Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the average fuel economy is being displayed, clears the average fuel consumption to zero (—-). If the vehicle speed exceeds 1.6 MPH (1km/h) after being refueled with more than 1.6 gallons (6 l), the average fuel economy will be cleared to zero (—-).
✽ NOTICE
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the “Distance to empty” function may not operate correctly. The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The fuel consumption and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.
- The distance to empty value is an estimate of the available driving distance. This may differ from the actual driving distance available.
Average speed (MPH or km/h)
This mode calculates the average speed of the vehicle since the last average speed reset. Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the average speed keeps changing while the engine is running. Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the average speed is being displayed, clears the average speed to zero (—).
Elapsed time
This mode indicates the total time traveled since the last driving time reset. Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the driving time keeps increasing while the engine is running. The meter’s working range is from 00:00~99:59. Pressing the RESET button for more than 1 second, when the driving time is being displayed, clears the driving time to zero (00:00).
- Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning the ignition switch ON (do not start the engine). Any light that does not illuminate should be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. After starting the engine, check to make sure that all warning lights are off. If any are still on, this indicates a situation that needs attention. When releasing the parking brake, the brake system warning light should go off. The fuel warning light will stay on if the fuel level is low.
ECO indicator (if equipped)
Active ECO system (if equipped) When the active ECO is operating the ECO indicator is green. For more detailed information, refer to “Active ECO” in Chapter 5.
Airbag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON position. This light also comes on when the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is not working properly. If the SRS airbag warning light 
does not come on, or continuously remains on after operating for about 6 seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON position or start the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer?
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition switch is turned ON and goes off in approximately 3 seconds if the system is operating normally. If the ABS warning light remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, this indicates that there may be a malfunction with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.
- If the ABS warning light turns on while driving
- Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
- Turn on the engine again.
- If the warning light illuminates and turns off in approximately 3 seconds, the system is operating normally. If the warning light does not turn off, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) system warning
light If these two warning lights illuminate at the same time while driving, your vehicle may have a malfunction with the ABS and EBD systems. In this case, your ABS and regular brake system may not work normally. Have the vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
If both ABS and brake warning lights are on and stay on, your vehicle’s brake system will not work normally during sudden braking. In this case, avoid high-speed driving and abrupt braking. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
✽ NOTICE
If the ABS warning light or EBD warning light is on and stays on, the speedometer or odometer/trip meter may not work. In this case, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Seat belt warning
The driver’s seat belt warning light and chime will activate to the following table when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
- The warning pattern repeats 11 times with an interval of 24 seconds. If the driver’s seat belt is buckled, the light will stop within 6 seconds and the chime will stop immediately.
- The light will stop within 6 seconds and the chime will stop immediately.
Turn signal indicator
The blinking arrows on the instrument panel show the direction indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the headlights are on and in the high beam position or when the turn signal lever is pulled into the Flash-to-Pass position.
Tail light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the tail lights are on.
Engine oil pressure warning light
This warning light indicates the engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driving:
- Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
- With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after adding oil or if oil is not available, call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped immediately after the engine oil pressure warning light is illuminated, severe damage could result. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, and then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine, and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer before the car is driven again.
Parking brake & brake fluid warning light
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the START or ON position. The warning light should go off when the parking brake is released.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may indicate that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
- Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
- the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add fluid as required. Then check all brake components for fluid leaks.
- Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are found, the warning light remains on or the brakes do not operate properly. Have the vehicle towed to any authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a brake system inspection and necessary repairs.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual diagonal braking system. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the brake circuits is damaged or malfunctions. With only one of the circuits working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. To check bulb operation, check whether the parking brake and brake fluid warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Low tire pressure telltale
The low tire pressure telltale illuminates when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Inflate your tires to the correct inflation pressure. The low tire pressure telltale will illuminate after it blinks for approximately one minute when there is a problem with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
If this occurs, have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible. For details, refer to the TPMS in chapter 6. Your vehicle is equipped with a dual diagonal braking system.
