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

Fuel economy
Distance To Empty (1)
The distance to empty is the esti-mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 9999 mi. or 1 ~ 9999 km
If the estimated distance is below 1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display "---" as distance to empty. Information
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the distance to empty func-
tion may not operate correctly.
 The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
 The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 1.6 gal-
lons (6 liters) of fuel are added to the
vehicle.
 The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving habits,
and condition of the vehicle.
Average Fuel Economy (2)
The average fuel economy is calcu-lated by the total driving distance and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally. Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy
manually, press the
[OK] button on
the steering wheel for more than 1
second when the average fuel econo-
my is displayed.
Automatic reset
To automatically reset the average fuel
economy after refueling, select the
"Auto Reset" mode in User Settings
menu on the LCD display.
- After Ignition: The average fuel econ- omy will reset automatically whenev-
er it has passed 4 hours after turning
OFF the engine.
- After Refueling: The average fuel economy will reset automatically
when driving speed exceeds 1 km/h,after adding 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of
fuel or more.
Information
The average fuel economy may be inac-
curate, when the vehicle drives shorter
than 300 meters (0.19 miles) after turn-
ing ON the Engine Start/Stop button.
