Plug-in hybrid mode indicator

: The high-voltage(hybrid) battery is used
to drive the vehicle.
: The AUTO mode willbe automatically
selected from either
from Electric (CD)
mode or Hybrid (CS)
mode by the system
according to the driv-
ing condition.

:The high-voltage
(hybrid) battery and
gasoline engine is
used to drive the vehi-
cle.
A corresponding message is displayed
to indicate the selected mode.
Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.

✽ ✽NOTICE
• The fuel tank capacity is given 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICE - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehi-
cle occupants to danger. You must
obtain additional fuel as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the “E (Empty)”
level.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Fuel display may not be accurate if
vehicle is being fueled while in an
incline.
Distance to empty
The distance to empty is the esti-
mated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range : 1 ~ 9,999 mi. or
1 ~ 9,999 km
CAUTION- Low fuel
Avoid driving with an extremelylow fuel level. Running out offuel could cause the engine tomisfire, damaging the catalyticconverter.ODEP049142N

Trip modes (Trip computer)
The trip computer is a microcomput-
er-controlled driver information sys-
tem that displays information related
to driving.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Some driving information stored in
the trip computer (for example
Average Vehicle Speed) resets if the
battery is disconnected.

Range (Plug-in hybrid)
The range is the estimated dis-tance the vehicle can be driven
with the remaining high-voltage
(hybrid) battery (1, Electric) and
fuel in the fuel tank (2, Gasoline). If the estimated distance is below
1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display “---” as distance to empty.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 510 mi. or 1 ~510 km
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been
interrupted, the range function
may not operate correctly.
• The range 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 range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driv-
ing habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
Fuel Economy
Average Fuel Economy (1)
The average fuel economy is calcu-
lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
- Fuel economy range : 0.0 ~ 99.9,100 ~ 999 MPG, L/100km or
km/L
The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automati-
cally.

Driving your vehicle
The dual clutch transmission canbe thought of as an automatically
shifting manual transmission. It
gives the driving feel of a manual
transmission, yet provides the ease
of a fully automatic transmission.
When D (Drive) is selected, the transmission will automatically shift
through the gears similar to a con-
ventional automatic transmission.
Unlike a traditional automatic
transmission, the gear shifting can
sometimes be felt and heard as the
actuators engage the clutches and
the gears are selected.
The dual clutch transmission adopts a dry-type dual clutch,
which is different from the torque
converter of the automatic trans-
mission. It shows better accelera-
tion performance and increased
fuel efficiency while driving but ini-
tial launch might be little bit slower
than the automatic transmission.
As a result, gear shifts are some-
times more noticeable than a con-
ventional automatic transmission
and a light vibration during launch-
ing can be felt as the transmission
speed. This is a normal condition of the
dual clutch transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides a direct
drive feeling which may feel differ-
ent from a conventional automatic
transmission. This may be more
noticeable when launching the vehi-
cle from a stop or when traveling at
low, stop-and-go vehicle speeds.
When rapidly accelerating at a low vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase highly depending on the
vehicle's driving condition.
For smooth launch uphill, press down the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the current
conditions.
If you release your foot from the accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
braking, which is similar to manual
transmission.
When driving downhill, you may use Sports Mode or press the pad-
dle shifters (if equipped) to down-
shift to a lower gear in order to con-
trol your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/
STOP button in the OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
Do not use engine braking (shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip, causing an accident.
