Gauges
Hybrid System Gauge
The hybrid system gauge indicates
whether the current driving condition
is fuel efficient or not.
• CHARGE :
Shows that the energy made by
the vehicle is being converted
to electrical energy. (Regenerated
energy)
ECO : Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
POWER : Shows that the vehicle is exceed-
ing the Eco-friendly range. According to the hybrid system
gauge area, the “EV” indicator
comes on or off.
- “EV” indicator ON : Vehicle is driv-
en using the electric motor or the
gasoline engine is stopped.
- “EV” indicator OFF : Vehicle is driv- en using the gasoline engine.
Hybrid Battery SOC (State of Charge) Gauge
This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is
near the "L (Low)" level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to
charge the battery. However, if the
Service Indicator ( ) and Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) ( ) turn on
when the SOC (State of charge)
gauge is near the "L (Low)" level, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
