Fear Not, the Need for Speed Lives On (In Digital Form)
Yes, you read that right. While some Acuras and Nissans might be flaunting their digital speedometers from the get-go, Hyundai keeps things a little more mysterious in the Tucson.

Unearthing this digital marvel is a breeze, and once activated, you'll be back to feeling like a bona fide speed demon in no time (well, within the legal limits, of course).
Let's Get Digital: A Step-by-Step Guide (with Minimal Grunting Required)
Here's the lowdown on how to unleash the digital speedometer and reclaim your dominion over the road:
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Channel Your Inner Indiana Jones: Locate the steering wheel. No, really, this is crucial. Most Hyundai Tucsons will have a button with the word "Menu" displayed prominently. This is your key to the digital speedometer kingdom.
Embrace the Button: With the engine on (safety first, people!), give the "Menu" button a friendly press. You'll see the display on your instrument cluster cycle through various menus. Don't panic if hieroglyphics appear – just keep pressing "Menu" until you see something familiar, like "Trip Computer" or "Driving Information" (because, hey, who doesn't love a good dose of driving data?).
The Big Reveal: Once you've landed on the appropriate menu (consult your owner's manual for specifics if you're feeling fancy), use the up and down arrows (usually located near the "Menu" button) to navigate. There you go! Buried beneath a treasure trove of trip data should be your glorious digital speedometer, ready to display your speed in all its digital glory.
Pro Tip: While you're spelunking through the menus, you might discover other hidden gems like average fuel economy or even a digital compass (perfect for those times you get turned around by a particularly chatty squirrel).
