Hyundai Sonata Dashboard Light Guide
Here’s the breakdown of a couple of this midsize car’s most important dashboard lights. Generally, when one of these comes on, it’s time to either take some action yourself (like filling up your gas tank) or make a service appointment and let the experts do their work. If you have any questions, please drop us a line.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This warning light looks like an engine, and it’s even sometimes casually referred to as the “Check Engine light.” It can indicate several things, including a problem with your car’s engine, the rest of its powertrain, or even its emission control system. Because it’s so all-encompassing, contact our team if it comes on.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This one looks like a gas pump, and it means exactly what it sounds like (and looks like)—it’s time to stop at a pump and fill up your tank. It can actually be bad for your engine if you drive when it’s on low.
Tire Pressure Warning Light
Then there’s the Tire Pressure Warning Light, which resembles an exclamation point within a parentheses-like tire. Driving on low tires isn’t advisable, and you can get one of our teammates to fill them up ASAP.
Parking Brake Light & Brake Fluid Warning Light
While this symbol, which looks like an exclamation point adjacent to the letter “P” on top of the word “BRAKE”, can illuminate as a reminder that your parking brake is applied, it’s also a sign of something a bit more serious: low brake fluid levels. Get in touch with us to have those topped off as soon as possible.
Charging System Warning Light
It looks like a car battery (with plus and minus symbols) and it means that there could be something wrong with yours—specifically that it’s not being charged properly. We can take care of it!
Master Warning Light
Last, but not least, the Sonata model’s Master Warning Light serves as an indicator that something is wrong with one or more of its many driver-assistive systems, including its Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Smart Cruise Control, Ford Collision-Avoidance Assist, or High Beam Assist features. This is something you’ll want the experts to take a look at, seeing as these technologies can really help you out on the road.
