Kia Telluride Dashboard Screen May Stay Blank at Startup
medium How serious is it? About this label
Moderate — the vehicle itself drives normally, but driving without a working speedometer or gear indicator is risky; the notice does not tell owners to stop driving.
What's wrong, in plain English
The screen in your instrument panel can come up blank when you start the vehicle. That screen shows your speed, which gear you are in, and your mileage. If it stays dark, you cannot see how fast you are going or check that the vehicle is in the gear you meant to select, which makes an accident more likely. Federal rules require that information to be visible. The dealer will reload the software for the instrument cluster.
