SWITCH
Turn Signal OperationPulling down on the lever causes the turn
signals on the left side of the car to blink. Pushing
upwards on the lever causes the turn signals on
the right side of the car to blink. As the turn is
completed, the lever will automatically return to
the center position and turn off the turn signals
at the same time. If either turn signal indicator
light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes on but
does not blink, or does not go on at all, there is
a malfunction in the system. Check for a burned-
out fuse or bulb or see your Hyundai dealer.
5. Distance to Empty (Miles)
o When the distance to empty is less than 30
miles (50 km), the distance to empty digits (-
---) will blink until more fuel is added.NOTE:o The distance to empty can differ from
the actual tripmeter according to driving
conditions.
o The distance to empty can vary accord-
ing to the driving conditions, driving
pattern or vehicle speed. o This mode indicates the estimated distance
to empty from the current fuel level in the fuel
tank.
o The trip computer may not register additional
fuel if less than 1.36 gallons (6 liters) of fuel
are added to the vehicle.
