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.

Engine overheated
This warning message is displayed
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 is displayed,
if the headlamps are not operating
properly. The headlamp bulb may
need to be replaced. If the vehicle is
equipped with LED headlamps, have
the vehicle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.Information
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same
wattage rating.
Check headlamp LED (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if
there is a problem with the LED
headlamp. Have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
Check headlamp cooling fan(if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if
there is a problem with headlamp
fan. Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check smart high beam system
(if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if
there is a problem with the Smart
High Beam System. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
For more information, refer to
"Smart High Beam System" in
chapter 3.

You should refill the fuel tank to pre-
vent hybrid battery damage.
Refill inverter coolant
This warning message is displayed
when the inverter coolant is nearly
empty.
You should refill the inverter coolant.
Stop vehicle and check regen.
brakes
This warning message is displayed
when a failure occurs in the brakesystem.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
location and tow your vehicle to the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the vehicle inspected.
Check regenerative brakes
This warning message is displayed
when the brake performance is low
or the regenerative brake does not
work properly due to a failure in the
brake system.
In this case, it may take longer for the
brake pedal to operate and the brak-
ing distance may become longer.
Check Virtual Engine SoundSystem
This message is displayed when
there is a problem with the VirtualEngine Sound System (VESS).
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Coasting guide (if equipped)
A chime will sound and the coasting
guide indicator will blink four times to
inform the driver when to take the
foot off from the accelerator by antic-
ipating a decelerating event* based
on the analysis of driving routes and
road conditions of the navigation. It
encourages the driver to remove foot
from the pedal and allow coasting
down the road with EV motor only.
This helps prevent unnecessary fuelconsumption and increases fuel effi-
ciency.

Driving your vehicle
When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in ECO indicator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle with the automatic transmission gear shift
lever in manual shift mode: The system will be limited accord- ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds: The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.SPORT mode
SPORT mode managesthe driving dynamics byautomatically adjusting the
steering effort, the engine
and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver
performance.
When SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to
ECO mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to remainraised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel- erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

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 engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
