ing speed, calibrated in kilometersper hour (km/h) and/or miles perhour (mph).
Hybrid System Gauge
The hybrid system gauge indicates
whether the current driving conditionis fuel efficient or not.
CHARGE : Shows that the energymade 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 exceeding the Eco-
friendly range. Information
Accordance to the hybrid system
gauge area the "EV" indicator comes
on or off.

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 gauge is
near the "L (Low)" level, have the vehi-
cle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Never try to start the vehicle if the
fuel tank is empty. In this condi-
tion, the engine cannot charge the
high voltage battery of the hybrid
system. If you try to start the vehi-
cle when the fuel is empty, the
high voltage battery will become
discharged and damaged.

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.Information
 The fuel tank capacity is specified in chapter 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
This mode displays the temperatureof 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 possibleafter the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the "E (Empty)"
level.

Outside Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the current out-
side air temperatures either in
Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit.
- Temperature range :-40°C ~ 60°C
(-40°F ~ 140°F)
The outside temperature on the dis-
play may not immediately change
like a general thermometer to pre-
vent the driver from being inattentive. To change the temperature unit from°F to °C or °C to °F:
- Go to User Settings Mode
➝Other
Features ➝Temperature Unit.
- Press the AUTO button for 3 sec- onds while pressing the OFF but-
ton. (Automatic climate control sys-tem)
The temperature unit of the instru-ment cluster and climate control sys-
tem will change at once.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-
en and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should
be performed.

Warning and indicator lights
Ready Indicator
This indicator illuminates :
When the vehicle is ready to be driv- en.
- ON : Normal driving is possible.
- OFF : Normal driving is not possible,
or a problem has occurred.
- Blinking : Limp home driving mode. When the ready indicator goes OFF
or blinks, there is a problem with the
system. In this case, have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Service Warning Light
This warning light illuminates :
When the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
- It normally flashes on momentar-ily for 3 seconds at Ready On and
should then stay off.
When there is a problem with the hybrid vehicle control system or
hardware.
When the warning light illuminates
while driving, or does not go OFF

Parking Brake & BrakeFluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds and then goes off.
- It remains on if the parking brake is applied.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminateswith the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
When the regenerative brake does not operate.
When only one of the dual system is working, the stopping distancewill be increased.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. Stop the vehicle, immediately check the brake fluid level and add
fluid, if necessary (For more
information, refer to "Brake
Fluid" in the chapter 7). After
adding brake fluid, check all brake
components for fluid leaks. If a
brake fluid leak is found, or if the
warning light remains on, or if the
brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have the
vehicle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems fails. With only one of the dual systems
working, longer pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure is required. If the brakes fail, while driving, shift
to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.
(red color)
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, itindicates that the brake fluid
level is low.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Regenerative BrakeWarning Light
This warning light illuminates :
When the regenerative brake does
not operate and the brake does not
perform well. This causes the Brake
Warning light (red) and Regenerative
