Hyundai Sonata Warning Lights

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata is a great technologically advanced sedan in Dover, Odessa, and Middletown, but its dashboard lights are still the most important safety devices. Hyundai Sonata dashboard lights are the vehicle's way of communicating with the driver. They let you know when something under the hood needs to be repaired and when certain features are being used.

It's important to understand what each dashboard light means to make sure you provide your car with the service it needs promptly. To help you do just that, Winner Hyundai has created this 2017 Hyundai Sonata dashboard light guide.

Hyundai Sonata Warning Lights

The Hyundai Sonata dashboard warning lights let you know when your car is suffering from mechanical issues or if you're driving in dangerous road conditions. Here are some of the dashboard warning lights you may see when you're driving in your 2017 Hyundai Sonata.

• Icy Road Warning Light: This Hyundai dashboard warning light looks like a snowflake in the middle of a lane. If outside temperatures are low enough, the light will activate as a warning to drive cautiously because roads may be icy.
• Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Also known as the check engine light, this dashboard warning light looks like an engine block and indicates a problem with your car's emissions system. Schedule an appointment at a trusted service department and have the system repaired to prevent severe performance issues.
• Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light: The light that looks like a thermometer with wavy lines underneath it is the engine coolant temperature warning light. This indicates that your car is overheating. If you see it active on your dashboard, pull over, turn off the engine, and let your vehicle cool down. After that, schedule a repair at a professional Hyundai service center.
• Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: This dashboard warning light looks like an oil can. If it's active, it means that oil pressure in your engine is too low. Get your oil changed immediately to alleviate the problem and deactivate the light.
• Low Tire Pressure Warning Light: The low tire pressure warning light looks like the side of a tire with an exclamation point. This indicates that one of your tires is underinflated. To deactivate the light, simply fill your tires to the proper air pressure. If the light is still on after inflating, then it could mean that your tire pressure monitoring system needs to be repaired.
• Low Fuel Level Warning Light: If you see a light that looks like a gas pump, it means that your car is running low on fuel. To turn off the light, just fill your gas tank.

• Autonomous Emergency Braking Indicator: The Autonomous Emergency Braking indicator light is two cars that look like they're about to crash into each other. It comes on whenever the Autonomous Emergency Braking System activates.
