When you're driving around Middletown, Odessa and Dover in your Hyundai Elantra, you want to be certain that you know how your vehicle is functioning, which is why you need to learn about your Hyundai Elantra's dashboard symbols. Like many high-quality Hyundai vehicles, the Elantra provides a variety of dashboard warning lights so that you know when there is an issue with your vehicle that warrants dealership service.
Â
Once you learn about these symbols, you can stay stress-free when there's a problem and schedule the maintenance that your vehicle needs. Here is a brief guide to the 2018 Hyundai Elantra dashboard symbols, and tips for finding repair services for your vehicle from a trusted local dealership.
Elantra Indicator Lights
Most of the lights that you will see on your Elantra are known as indicator lights. These lights are used to alert you to minor problems and to indicate normal functions of your vehicle. A few of the typical indicator lights of the Elantra include:
- ESC Indicators: A light that looks like a car with squiggly lines behind it indicates a problem with your Electronic Stability System. This same light with the word OFF underneath means that your Electronic Stability system is not active.
- Cruise Control: When your Elantra's cruise control feature is active, you will notice a light that looks like the word CRUISE. When you have set your desired cruising speed, a light that looks like the word SET will be active.
- Lights: There are two primary indicator lights used for the headlights and taillights of your Elantra. The high-beam light, fittingly, looks like a headlight set on high. The tail light indicator light looks like two taillights facing opposite directions.
- Â Check Engine: The check engine indicator light in your Elantra looks like a car engine in profile.
Elantra Warning Lights
The 2018 Hyundai Elantra also includes several warning lights meant to alert you to a serious problem with your vehicle that needs immediate repairs. These lights include:
- Braking: The letters ABS inside of a circle means your anti-lock braking system has malfunctioned. If you see the word BRAKE, either your parking brake is active or your brake fluid level is depleted.
- Oil Pressure: If you see a light that looks like a dripping oil lamp, your engine oil pressure is too low. You should pull over whenever possible and contact your dealership.
 - Battery: A light that resembles a car battery with a plus and minus symbol activates when the charging system in your Elantra has malfunctioned. Have this issue checked immediately.
- Tire Pressure: When your vehicle's tire pressure drops too low, you will notice a light that looks like a flat tire with an exclamation point.
