General explanation of errors on the instrument panel

Suddenly, against the backdrop of complete well-being, the tire pressure gauge on the panel lit up. The day before there were no signs of trouble, in the evening I parked the car, nothing was on fire. In the morning the indicator is on. I walked around the car, kicked the wheels, but it didn’t help. I went to the track

, nothing happens, the car behaves as before, even at 150. I drove 30 km, the indicator was on, I decided to check the tire pressure, everything was normal, all wheels were bad. I checked the brake fluid and oil levels, everything was fine. I just topped up the washer fluid. But the indicator is still on. The problem is not solved. Anyone who has encountered something similar, please tell me.

The dashboard screen of the Hyundai Creta (Greta) displays important information for the car owner. To understand it, you need to know the meaning of the icons. They can not only tell you what is broken or what the driver needs to do, but also save the lives of people in a moving car.

We will tell you how to check the functionality of the instrument panel and about its two versions in the 2018-2019 crossover.

Let's look at both panels

They come in two types, the regular console and “Supervision”, which is installed in more expensive trim levels (with an engine capacity of 1.6 and 2 liters). Both versions of the dashboard have a speedometer, tachometer, gas level in the tank and engine temperature, which is affected by coolant.

The standard Hyundai Creta panel light is white with a moonlit tint, pleasing to the eye. The location of the indicators with the amount of fuel and the engine temperature level depends on the installed screen:

• In a regular display, indicators are displayed as vertical divisions in the middle of the screen.
• In the Supervision instrument panel, the scales are made in the form of semicircles and are installed in the tachometer and speedometer.

There are eight divisions on the tachometer screen. The revolutions that start at 6500 are colored red. Hyundai developers thus warn the driver about the danger zone into which the engine speed arrow should not be moved.

If you cross this line, there is a possibility of overheating or damage to the motor. On a new car, experts recommend not exceeding the level of more than 4000 rpm.

The maximum speed indicated on the screen is 220 km/h. You can accelerate the car faster, but you shouldn't do it.

A typical monochrome display shows:

• air temperature outside the window;
• car mileage;
• automatic transmission mode;
• how long can you drive with the gasoline remaining in the tank?
• current total fuel consumption;
• fuel consumption per 100 km;
• average speed for the previous trip.

The “Supervision” instrument panel displays all the data more pleasantly and colorfully than the usual one. She has a greeting animation. It also shows a notification indicating which door is currently open.

Adjusting the backlight of the Hyunda Creta dashboard

Most car enthusiasts do not understand why this function is needed. When actively using a car in night mode, your eyes quickly get tired from the light streams hitting your face and excessively bright light bulbs. As a result, some drivers resort to changing the standard wiring.

To do this, you will need to find the regulator key of the appropriate version (pictured above). The following procedure looks something like this.

Purchase 4 BLS type pitas. They are sold at any radio store.

Remove the contact block for the keys under the steering column. Next you need to add 2 wires here.

After this, you will need to disassemble the device and remove the contact groups from it.

Further added wires from the lower terminal are inserted here at positions 3 and 4.

You need to pull out the 7 pin (the only one black) from the heater drive block - it is installed above the gas pedal and plugged into the green chip.

After that, everything is put back in place and the adjustment key is connected.

Designation of light bulbs and indicators

We will briefly show the meaning of all the icons that light up on the screen and make a brief description of each of them.

Hyundai Solaris: indicators on the instrument panel

There are several types of indicators that display the status of on-board systems in real time. Standard instruments have three types of indicators, separated by color.

1. Green/blue. The indicators indicate the normal operation of external lighting devices and secondary equipment that is not directly related to the operation of the power plant.
2. If the yellow or orange indicator lights up, this indicates the need for vehicle maintenance. Some indicators indicate that the coolant temperature has been exceeded or an alarm has been activated.
3. If the red indicator lights up, urgent diagnostics or repair of the machine is required. In this case, further operation of the machine until the malfunction is eliminated is prohibited.

How to check the Hyundai Creta dashboard yourself

Imagine that the oil pressure light on your display has burned out. On the road, the oil pump breaks down or the filter fails. Because of this, the oil pressure drops sharply, and at this moment nothing lights up on the instrument panel. And the driver finds out about the breakdown only when the engine is already knocking, which is not good.

You can check the functionality of the dashboard on the Hyundai Creta yourself. To do this, insert the ignition key and turn it two positions. At this moment all the lights should light up. Perhaps you know another simple way to do this, write in the comments.

In other cases, we recommend contacting specialists. Fair wind and smooth road, friends!

In comments to materials, you often reproach us for being too fond of Crete. In fact, there are really a lot of positive things about using this machine. However, despite the absence of any serious malfunctions, several unpleasant moments appeared over 30,000 km. Today we only talk about them.

Hyundai > Creta

The steering wheel started to peel off

In the previous report, at 20,500 km, we mentioned that the leather on the steering wheel began to become shiny. After 5,000 km, the situation seriously worsened: bald spots began to appear on the upholstery, and the steering wheel finally lost its presentation. As a study of the situation has shown, the problem does not affect all owners of this model, but our case is not unique. It happened that the steering wheel began to peel off even earlier - at around 15,000 km. However, the dealers did not refuse to replace the steering wheel under warranty for the vast majority of victims. And in this situation we were no exception.

The new steering wheel was delivered to us straight from the St. Petersburg Hyundai Manufacturing Rus plant. The shabby old one was taken away to study the reasons. After a month, we did not receive an official response, but we were promised that measures would definitely be taken. One thing is obvious: the problem is the quality of the material used to finish the steering wheel. Calloused hands or the habit of turning the steering wheel in a parking lot with one palm have nothing to do with it. This may speed up the wear and tear process, but even in the harshest conditions, leather shouldn't turn into tatters so quickly.

“Crickets” have taken up residence in the cabin

At the time of the last report, nothing foreshadowed the appearance of extraneous sounds in the cabin, but closer to the 30,000 km mileage, a whole horde of “crickets” settled in the area of ​​the central tunnel. Usually, extraneous sounds appear in the cold season, but ours made themselves known even when the temperature outside was above zero. Many Cret owners complain about similar symptoms. Everyone has their own recipe for solving a problem. Some go to the dealer and insist on eliminating extraneous sounds under warranty. Others disassemble the console themselves and glue all potentially problem areas with a special material like biplast. Some people just turn up the music louder. Each method definitely has a right to exist.

The fifth door is still rusting

You have repeatedly asked us about the condition of the fifth door of the editorial car - and we have repeatedly answered that everything is in order. Now the situation has changed. There are still no hot spots visible to the naked eye, but after a thorough inspection of the door during the preparation of a large investigative material, we still found four barely noticeable areas with swollen paintwork. The diameter of the largest is about 5 mm.

Unfortunately, Hyundai officials chose to refrain from commenting here too, although the problem is somewhat more serious than peeling steering wheels. We hope that this is just a desire not to wash dirty linen in public and that measures to eliminate the reasons for such low corrosion resistance of the fifth door will be taken in the near future. Or have already been accepted. As soon as new details appear, we will definitely tell you about everything.

Tire pressure sensors sometimes go crazy

Even the simplest versions of the Creta - those without air conditioning and luggage rack - are equipped with tire pressure sensors. It sounds good, but in reality they provide little more benefit than problems. On our car, pressure sensor glitches began with the first more or less serious cold snap. As soon as the pressure in cold tires drops slightly below 2.2 atmospheres (with the recommended 2.3), the system displays an error on the instrument panel, which can be reset... only by inflating the tires. It turns out just like in the fairy tale “The Boy and the Wolves”: the error is displayed frequently and does not contain any useful information. Only empty worries for the person behind the wheel.

Unfortunately, the editors of “Behind the Wheel” had to say goodbye to Creta. But this does not mean that you will not hear about her again. We are preparing a farewell article in one of the next issues of the magazine, where we will talk about fuel consumption, operating costs and much more. After some time, this material will certainly appear on the site.

And yes, the Crete will be replaced by another car, which, in our opinion, will be no less entertaining to talk about and listen to.

Sometimes SUV owners notice an exclamation mark on the dashboard of the Hyundai Creta. However, many of them do not know what this indicator signals.

However, crossover owners often begin to seriously worry, because such a symbol is perceived as a breakdown, especially when it lights up red.

Hyundai Greta yellow exclamation mark is on

For now, dealers have cars for 1.9 million rubles, but much more affordable versions will soon appear.

Overall the car is good though.

Arkana is a compromise car, with many minor shortcomings and miscalculations.

The hatchback will appear in Russia towards the end of this year.

Compared to its predecessor, the new generation Toyota RAV4 has become better in most respects, but it has not been possible to completely get rid of its flaws.

The SUV is equipped with a 4.6-liter engine and a 5- or 7-seater interior.

The next generation of the popular liftback has every chance to become even more popular in Russia.

No matter how the French claim that the crossover is global, in fact, Arcana will have only its appearance in common.

Criticism of the new Czech crossover is gaining momentum - in addition to the high price, the car has other problems.

This “trick” is one of the simplest, but its benefits are difficult to overestimate. Especially if you are transferring from an old car.

So far, the budget crossover is available only in China, but the French promise to bring the car to other countries.

The premiere of the fourth generation Kia Sorento is scheduled for March, but spies have already managed to catch the car in the frame.

The Japanese offer to reflash the ESP, but only if desired. “Do you prefer to go around the moose or shoot it down? Which RAV4 do you want?” - they are already joking on social networks.

Both new items will appear in the coming months.

Seltos was announced as a budget SUV, but in fact it ended up in the same price league as the Skoda Karoq and even the VW Tiguan.

They promise to establish production of the crossover in Russia.

Those who have previously driven Germans will be disappointed with the Arcana, although for 1.2 million rubles this is quite the best option. But not more expensive.

The successor to the Yeti was disappointing with its prices and meager set of modifications: all-wheel drive can only be obtained with a 1.4-liter turbo engine in a rich configuration.

Due to new tariffs and lack of localization, the CX-30 would cost the same as the older CX-5, which is assembled in Russia.

Ravon will bring it under its own brand. Prices promise 600-900 thousand rubles.

Dashboard

Hyundai Creta is equipped with two types of dashboards:

1. Standard option;
2. SuperVision - its main difference is its placement in the center of the color display. Only top versions of the model are equipped with this type.

Note. The symbols and designations on both types of panels are the same.

In addition to symbols, it displays a lot of information - speed, mileage, engine speed, fuel consumption, location of the automatic selector and much more.

Exclamation mark

If an exclamation mark lights up on the dashboard of the Hyundai Creta, first of all, you need to stop panicking. And then determine which indicator is lit.

There are a total of 3 exclamation marks on the Hyundai Creta dashboard.

Options

Handbrake

The red indicator is an exclamation mark in a circle and in brackets. This is the most common option. It signals that the parking brake, which motorists also call the “handbrake,” is activated.

If it is turned off but the light is still on, the problem is likely in the brake system itself. In addition, the brake pads may be extremely worn or there may be a lack of brake fluid.

Stabilization system

Yellow indicator in a triangle. It indicates a malfunction in the stabilization complex. This means that it is necessary to carry out diagnostics on the stand.

Pressure

In this case, the exclamation mark on the Hyundai Creta dashboard is yellow and is enclosed in brackets with a stripe below. This is a designation of the tire cut and evidence of the operation of the tire pressure sensor.

First, you need to check the tire pressure and if it has dropped in one of the wheels, pump it up. In addition, the light may come on after changing tires, as well as in rain or frost, but after a while it usually goes out.

What to do if an exclamation mark lights up on the Hyundai Creta instrument panel?

Firstly, do not panic if you notice an exclamation mark on the dashboard of your Hyundai Creta.

Secondly, you should inspect the dashboard and understand which exclamation mark is lit. The fact is that there are three exclamation marks on the Hyundai Creta’s dashboard, which have different purposes. Let's see what they look like:

1. Red indicator in a circle between two brackets. Indicates that the parking brake (handbrake) is engaged.

Make sure the parking brake is released. If it really is turned off, but the warning sign remains on, then there may be a problem with the car's braking system. It is also possible that the brake fluid level in the car is insufficient. This indicates that there is a fuel fluid leak somewhere, or the brake pads are worn to the limit. It is not recommended to use the car in this case until the malfunction is identified.

2. Yellow exclamation point in a triangle. The appearance of this icon on the dashboard means that the car has problems with the stabilization system.

The car needs to be diagnosed using special equipment. And only after that continue operation. 3. Yellow exclamation mark in an inverted horseshoe. In fact, this is not a horseshoe, as many of the Creta owners think. This is a section of a tire, and the pictogram itself indicates that the tire pressure sensor has activated.

This warning light on the Hyundai Creta panel probably lights up most often.

The first thing you need to do is check the tire pressure of your car. If one of the tires is flat, it needs to be pumped up. Also, this indicator may light up when changing tires, for example from winter to summer. Or in rainy or cold weather. Usually, the indicator goes out when you drive the car 10-20 km. Such a signaling device should not be considered a malfunction.

How to turn off the TPMS indicator?

Sometimes a yellow exclamation mark on the Hyundai Creta dashboard lights up when the owner installs wheels that are not equipped with pressure sensors. However, it can be repaid.

For this you need:

1. Adapter for reading from CAN bus. ELM327 v.1.5 will do.
2. HobDrive software is a program for a smartphone. It is recommended to purchase it from the official portal.

The entire procedure is indicated in the video.

As you can see, the exclamation mark on the Hyundai Creta dashboard is by no means a tragedy. The main thing is to calmly figure out what's what.

The lamp will also light up if you have installed tires without pressure sensors. To get rid of this, you can use our short video. It shows you how to turn off the TPMS tire pressure monitoring light on your dashboard in a Hyundai Creta.

For this we need:

1. Any ODB2 adapter for reading from the CAN bus, for example ELM327, it is better to take v.1.5, not v.2.1. – price approximately 300-400 rubles.

2. Smartphone program – HobDrive. You can buy it on the PlayMarket, but it is better from the official website, since the latest version appears on the official website earlier. Also, the license will be sent to you and will not be checked by PlayMarket.
