Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty based on the cur-rent fuel in the fuel tank and the
amount of fuel delivered to the
engine. When the remaining distance
is below 30 miles (50 km), “----” will
be displayed and the distance to
empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 30 to 9999 miles (50 to 9999 km).
Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuelused and the distance since the last
average consumption reset.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero(--.-).
✽✽NOTICE
The average fuel consumption is not
displayed for more accurate calcula-
tion if the vehicle is not driven more
than 10 seconds or 0.186 miles (300
meters) since the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
✽
✽ NOTICE
 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 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.

parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. The warning light should go off
when the parking brake is released
while the engine is running.
The parking brake warning chime will
sound to remind you that the parking
brake is applied when you are driving
above 6 mph (10 km/h). Always
release the parking brake before you
drive.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in
the reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required. Then
check all brake components for
fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are found, the warning light
remains on or the brakes do not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
towed to any authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for a brake system inspec-
tion and for repairs if necessary. Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-
diagonal braking system. This means
you still have braking on two wheels
even if one of the brake circuits is
damaged or malfunctions. With only
one of the circuits working, more than
normal pedal travel and greater pedal
pressure are required to stop the car.
Also, the car will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working. If the brakes
fail while you are driving, shift to a
lower gear for additional engine brak-ing and stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so.
To check bulb operation, check
whether the parking brake and brake
fluid warning light illuminates when
the ignition switch is in the ON posi-tion.
