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 groundor 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 cal-culated by the total driving dis-
tance 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 econ-
omy is displayed.

viewing the Accumulated driving info.
The trip distance, the average fuel
economy, and total driving time will
reset simultaneously. The accumulated driving information

When driving downhill, you mayuse Manual shift mode and press
the paddle shifters (except 1.6 T-
GDI engine) to downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively.
When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking sounds
as the system goes through a self
test. This is a normal sound for the
Ecoshift dual clutch transmission.
To hold the vehicle on a hill usethe foot brake or the parking
brake. If the vehicle is held by
applying the accelerator pedal
on a hill the clutch and trans-
mission will be overheated
resulting in damage.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and you may feel a vibration.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the clutch becomes overheat-
ed by excessive use of the
clutch to hold on a hill, you may
notice a shudder feeling and a
blinking display on the instru-
ment cluster. When this occurs,
the clutch is disabled until the
clutch cools to normal tempera-
tures. If this occurs, pull over to
a safe location, shift into P
(Park) and apply the foot brake
for a few minutes.
If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the transmission.
If the display continues to blink, for your safety, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.

been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.
