Hyundai Elantra CN7: Gauges and Meters - Instrument Cluster - Hyundai Elantra CN7 2021–2024 Owners ManualHyundai Elantra CN7: Gauges and Meters

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in miles per hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour (km/h).

Tachometer

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.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

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

Type A

Type B

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

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:

-- Go to User Settings Mode → Other → Temperature Unit.

For vehicles equipped with Automatic Climate Control, you can also:

-- Press and hold the AUTO and OFF buttons on the climate control unit for 3 seconds

Both the temperature unit on the cluster LCD display and climate control screen will change.

Odometer

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

  • 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.
