Hyundai Tucson Dashboard Light Guide

What Are Dashboard Lights?

Dashboard lights are a built-in way for your Tucson to draw your attention to a particular part of your SUV. These lights may let you know that your Tucson requires maintenance or that a certain feature, like your turn signal or high beams, is enabled.

Understanding these lights is essential. This way, you can determine the best course of action for maintaining the health of your vehicle.

Hyundai Tucson Indicator Lights

Not all dashboard lights indicate a potential issue with your Hyundai Tucson. Some lights are there to let you know a feature of your vehicle is enabled. For example, a light will illuminate on your dashboard when your high beams are enabled.

You’ll know this feature is turned on when a half, egg-shaped oval with horizontal lines appears.

Other indicator lights include:

• Turn signal indicator
• Front fog light indicator
• Cruise indicator
• SPORT mode indicator

Extra Safety Indications

Another type of indicator light that may appear on your Tucson—if your model is equipped with these features—lets you know when a safety feature has stepped in to provide automatic assistance. These safety indicator lights could relate to:

• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

If your Tucson senses that you’re unintentionally drifting from your marked lane, the LKA symbol may appear on your dashboard. This symbol looks like a car driving toward you with dashed lines on either side.

If you see this symbol, safely reposition yourself in your lane.

Hyundai Tucson Warning Lights

Other types of light that may appear on your Hyundai Tucson dashboard are a series of warning lights. These lights let you know that one part of your SUV needs your attention. Some lights require your assistance—like low fuel level, engine oil pressure, or low tire pressure—while others will require a trained mechanic.

If you see a symbol that looks like a silhouette of an engine, this is a light that let you know a mechanic’s attention is required.

The engine dashboard light is the malfunction indicator light. While this looks like an engine, it doesn’t automatically mean your engine isn’t working in tip-top shape. Rather, this light means that something within the internal computer system isn’t at 100%.
