#120 of 129 Re: Auto on/off headlights [fred63] by drwoodr Jan 05, 2008 (8:21 pm)
Replying to: fred63 (Jan 05, 2008 2:40 pm) I'm not a big fan of the auto headlights, in addition to my SF, I had a car a few years ago with the auto headlights that also came on later than I would have liked. We leave the lights in the "on" position all the time (wish they would make the daytime running lights standard). It does mean we have to adjust the dash lighting to turn it up during the day and down at night, but still like having the headlights on, and they do go out when the engine is off.

Replying to: mpuzach (Dec 06, 2007 9:46 pm) I've had my 07 sf for about 7 months and have almost 13000 miles on it and really like the vehicle. Only problem I had was with the passenger seat warning light and dealer claimed it was only caused by the way someone sits in the seat???? Didn't know there were too many ways to sit in a seat, but after I left it with them it has only rarely popped on for a few seconds. I also found the dash lights annoying at night and I also resorted to using the dark blue window film strips to dim the effect. I don't understand why they can't make a more effective dimmer switch.
#123 of 129 Odometer light by 988f Mar 04, 2009 (8:34 am)
My 2005 Santa Fe odometer light recently burnt out. Before I start tearing into the dash, does anyone know if it’s just a bulb or do I have to replace the odometer, since it is an LCD unit?
#124 of 129 TPMS Light and and proper tire presure by counselor4444 Aug 17, 2009 (6:36 am)
We just bought a new 09 Santa Fe SE FWD a week ago and took it out for a roadtrip this past weekend. In the middle of the 3 hr drive the TPMS light went on. It then went off about 45 min later. Hasn't been back on since. What do you think? Just a fluke?   And just so I know... what is the proper tire pressure for these tires? Replies to this message: jackcob (Aug 17, 2009 12:39 pm)

Replying to: counselor4444 (Aug 17, 2009 6:36 am) One blip of the light probably doesn't mean anything, but the TPMS is a wonderful device. I have a 2007 Sante Fe and I find the light goes on when tire pressure drops below 26 pounds. The proper air pressure for your vehicle is on a plate on the frame of the door of the car and I usually keep my tires at 32 pounds.. You could mention this to your dealer just to put them on notice.
#126 of 129 New Santa Fe by junior13 Sep 08, 2009 (1:55 am)
Just bought a new SF Limited. Did not test drive it in the dark. What a shock to drive at night and not be able to see out the windows clearly because of the reflection of the panel!!! Live in suburbs...but not lots of street lights. Had to open the window to look out because all I could see were the blue reflections which were VERY distracting. I never read any comments on this issue on Consumers and neglected to search Edmunds....am I ever sorry!! I hate to think that I have to put film on the car every night. This is my first SUV....does this happen with regular panel lights as well. Had I been aware of this, I would NOT have bought the car. Very disappointed with this distraction. It should be brought to your attention by the salesman in my opinion!!! I wish I could get my money back right now!

Replying to: junior13 (Sep 08, 2009 1:55 am) Did you try turning down the instrument panel lights? Replies to this message: junior13 (Sep 09, 2009 10:55 am)

Replying to: oscar_gata (Sep 09, 2009 9:18 am) Yes...it still is a distraction at night to see those blue lights reflected on the windshield and side windows.
#129 of 129 Dash lights by jackcob Sep 09, 2009 (1:10 pm)
You can turn the dash lights down all the way and it won't help a bit. I have a 2007 Sante Fe and that is the only thing about the car that I don't like. I too have not been able to get any solution except using the midnight blue plastick film over the lighted areas when I drive at night.
