content: Accessing the Sport Menu
If you own a Veloster N, you know it’s more than just a car—it’s a performance machine. But are you using all the data it offers to enhance your driving? This guide breaks down the sport menu’s key tools, based on a detailed Veloster N tutorial video, to help you get the most out of every lap.
First, navigate to the sport menu using your LCD display controls (usually on the steering wheel or center console). Once there, you’ll find three core sections: engine gauges, lap timer, and G-force meter. These tools provide real-time performance insights critical for track days or spirited driving.

The lap timer is a game-changer for track enthusiasts. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
- Start: Briefly press the OK button on your steering wheel.
- Record a lap: Press OK again at the end of each lap to log your time.
- Pause: Hold OK for over 1 second to pause timing.
- Reset: Hold OK to stop, then hold again for another second to reset all times.
The timer displays up to five times: total elapsed time, best lap, current lap, and two previous laps. Pro tip: Practice these controls in a safe area before hitting the track to avoid mid-lap distractions.

Beyond the lap timer, two other tools boost your driving experience:
- Engine gauges: Show torque, turbo boost pressure, and oil temperature. Monitoring oil temperature is key—overheating can damage your engine during long sessions.
- G-force meter: Displays lateral forces during cornering. Use this to refine your technique: smooth, consistent G-forces improve lap times and reduce tire wear.
