Information
• The fuel tank capacity is specified inchapter 8.
• 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.
Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the catalytic converter.
Engine coolant temperature
gauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
engine is running.
NOTICE
i
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possible
after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the "E (Empty)"
level.
WARNING
OLFH045206N
■Type A ■Type B

Convenient features of your vehicle
When the gauge indicator gets out
of the normal range, toward the
“H” position, it indicates overheat-
ing of the engine. It may damage
the engine.
Do not continue driving with the
overheated engine. For further
information, refer to “If the Engine
Overheats” in the chapter 6.
Outside Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures either in
Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit.
- Temperature range : -40°F ~ 140°F
(-40°C ~ 60°C)
The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not immediately change
like a general thermometer not to
distract the driver.
The temperature unit (from °F to °C
or ~ °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 sec-
onds or more.
The temperature unit of the instru-
ment cluster and climate control sys-
tem will change at once.
NOTICE
OLFH045208N
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pressure
and may cause severe burn. Wait
until the engine cools down
before adding coolant to the
reservoir.

Low Fuel
This warning message illuminates,
when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
You should refill the fuel tank.
Engine has overheated
This warning message illuminates
when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is above 120°C (248°F). This
means that the engine is overheated
and may be damaged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer
to “Overheating” in chapter 6.
Check headlight (if equipped)
This warning message illuminates
when there is a malfunction (burned-
out bulb except LED lamp or circuit
malfunction) with the headlamp. In
this case, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same
wattage rating.
If not, this warning message will not
be displayed.

Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engineoil
Driving at a high speed consumes
more fuel than driving at a slow
speed, such as in an urban area. Do
not forget to check both the engine
coolant and engine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.i
