Hybrid System Gauge
Power gauge
„„Type A, B
OCN7H040006
„„Type C
OCN7H040002
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 exceeding
the Eco-friendly range.
According to the hybrid system gauge
area, the “EV” indicator comes on or off.
- “EV” indicator ON : Vehicle is driven
using the electric motor or the
gasoline engine is stopped.
-“EV” indicator OFF : Vehicle is driven
using the gasoline engine.
Hybrid battery SOC (State of Charge)
gauge
„„Type A, B
OCN7H040007
„„Type C
OCN7H040003
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, we recommend the
vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Warning and Indicator Lights
Ready indicator
This indicator illuminates:
When the vehicle is ready to be driven.
-ON : Normal driving is possible.
-OFF : Normal driving is not possible,
or a problem has occurred.
-Blinking : Emergency driving.
When the ready indicator goes OFF
or blinks, there is a problem with the
system. If this occurs, we recommend
that you have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
EV mode indicator
This indicator illuminates:
When the vehicle is driven by the electric
motor.
Service warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The service warning light illuminates
for approximately 3 seconds and
then turns off when all checks have
been performed.
• 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 after
starting the vehicle, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Regenerative brake warning
light
(yellow)
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 Brake
Warning Light (yellow) to illuminate
simultaneously.
If this occurs, drive safely and have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The operation of the
brake pedal may be more difficult than
normal and the braking distance may
increase.
