The power 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.
Information
Accordance to the power 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.
Fuel gauge

This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information

[ The fuel tank capacity is given in
chapter 2.

[ 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.
WARNING
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle
occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the “0
or E (Empty)” level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire damaging
the catalytic converter.

Hybrid battery SOC (State of Charge) gauge
„4.2-Inch„12.3-Inch
OTMH040011NOCN7H040003
This gauge indicates the remaining
hybrid battery power. If the SOC is near
the “0 or L (Low)” level, the vehicle
automatically operates the engine to

) turn on when the SOC gauge is
near the “0 or L (Low)” level, the vehicle
be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
Never try to start the vehicle if the fuel
tank is empty. In this condition, the
engine cannot charge the high voltage
battery of the hybrid system. If you
try to start the vehicle when the fuel
is empty, the high voltage battery will
become discharged and be damaged. Plug-in hybrid mode indicator

(1 mi.), the trip computer will display
“---” as distance to empty.
Information

[ If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to empty function 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 6 liters (1.5
gallon) of fuel are added to the vehicle.

[ The distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle. Fuel economy (for 12.3-inch cluster)
