Adjusting instrument cluster
illumination
OCN7040081N
When the vehicle's parking lamps or
headlights are on, press the illumination
control button to adjust the brightness of
the instrument panel illumination.
When pressing the illumination control
button, the interior switch illumination
intensity is also adjustable.

[The brightness of the instrument

while driving. Doing so could lead to
driver distraction which may cause an
accident and lead to vehicle damage,
serious injury, or death.
Gauges and Meters
Speedometer
OCN7040004LOCN7040005N
„Type A „Type B
The speedometer indicates the speed of
the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per
hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour
(km/h).
Tachometer
OCN7040006OCN7040007
„Type A„Type B
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine
revolutions per minute (RPM).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/
or over-revving the engine.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE. This may
cause severe engine damage.

Instrument Cluster4-6
Engine coolant temperature gauge
OCN7040008
OCN7040009
„Type A

„Type B
This gauge indicates the temperature
of the engine coolant when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
NOTICE
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the "H"
position, it indicates overheating that
may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your engine
overheats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 7.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap or
reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
The engine coolant is under pressure
and could severely burn. Wait until the
engine is cool before adding coolant to
the reservoir.
Fuel gauge
OCN7040010
OCN7040011
„Type B

„Type A
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 "E
(Empty)" level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire and damage
the catalytic converter.
Outside temperature gauge
OTMA048112
ODN8A049031
„Type B

„Type A
This gauge indicates the current outside
air temperature by 1°F (1°C).
- Temperature range: -40°F ~ 140°F (40°C ~ 60°C)
Note that the temperature indicated
on the LCD display may not change
as quickly as the outside temperature
(there may be a slight delay before the
temperature changes.)
You can change the temperature unit
from °F to °C or °C to °F in the User
Settings mode in the cluster:
- *RWR8VHU6HWWLQJV0RGH

Instrument Cluster4-8
Odometer
OTMA048183OCN7040015N
„Type A „Type B
The odometer indicates the total
distance that the vehicle has been
driven and should be used to determine
when periodic maintenance should be
performed.
Range
OCN7040084NOCN7040016N
„Type A„Type B

[
The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel.

[ If the estimated distance is below
1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display "----" as range.
Information

[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 only an estimate
of the available driving range for the
vehicle and driving conditions.

[ The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 1.6 gallon (6
liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.

[ The range may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving habits,
and condition of the vehicle.

Warning and Indicator Lights
Information
Make sure that all warning lights are OFF
after starting the engine. If any light is still
ON, this indicates a situation that needs
attention.
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:

[ When y
ou place the ignition switch to
the ON position.

- The air bag warning light illuminates
for about 6 seconds and then turns
off when all checks have been
performed

[ The air bag warning light will remain
illuminated if there is a malfunction
with the Safety Restraint System (SRS)
air bag operation.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Seat Belt Warning Light
This warning light informs the driver that
the seat belt is not fastened.
For more information, refer to “Seat
Belts” in chapter 3.
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:

[When y
ou place the ignition switch to
the ON position.

- The parking brake light illuminates
for about 3 seconds and will then
turn off once the parking brake is
released.

[ Whenever the parking brake is
applied.

[ Whenever the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates with the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid level in
the reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is
low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe loca
tion and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For more
information, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
chapter 9). After adding brake fluid,
check all brake components for fluid
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or
if the warning light remains on, or if
the brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

04
4-11
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal br
aking systems. This means
you still have braking on two wheels even
if one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure is required to
stop the vehicle.
If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning
Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light
ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid Warning Light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid level is
low.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:

[ When y
ou place the ignition switch to
the ON position.
- The ABS warning light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then turns
off.

[ Whenever there is a malfunction with
the ABS.
Note that the hydraulic braking
system will still be operational even if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) System
Warning Light
These two warning lights illuminate at the
same time while driving:
When the ABS and regular brake system
ma

y not work normally.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) System Warning Light
When both ABS and Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid Warning Lights are on, the
brake system will not work normally
and you may experience an unexpected
and dangerous situation during sudden
braking.
In this case, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
