Technology continues to evolve the way you drive your car. You no longer need a traditional key to start your new Hyundai. These days, most cars rely on a key fob to start, or even open your cargo area. But even the key fob has evolved into something even more than that.
This small piece of technology is packed with convenient features that many drivers in Amherst, NY don't even know exist. At Northtown Hyundai, we want to help you get the most out of your vehicle's technology, so we've compiled this guide to the most useful Hyundai key fob tips and tricks.
Roll Down Your Windows Remotely
On hot summer days, you can cool down your Hyundai before you even get inside. By pressing and holding the unlock button on your key fob for a few seconds, all four windows will automatically roll down. This feature works on many Hyundai models and is a great way to ventilate your car after it's been sitting in the sun.
Locate Your Hidden Emergency Key
If your key fob battery dies, there's no need to panic. Every Hyundai smart key contains a hidden mechanical key inside. Simply press the small button on the back of your fob and pull out the emergency key. This backup key can manually unlock your driver's door and even start your vehicle in emergencies.
Master Remote Start for Year-Round Comfort
Remote start is a game-changer for drivers throughout Buffalo who face extreme weather conditions. Press the lock button, then press and hold the remote start button (usually marked with a circular arrow) for about three seconds. Your Hyundai will start and run for up to 10 minutes, allowing the climate control system to heat or cool the interior to your last setting.
Fold Your Side Mirrors with One Touch
Protect your side mirrors in tight parking spaces by using your key fob to fold them automatically. On equipped models, simply lock your vehicle and then press and hold the lock button again. The mirrors will fold in, making it easier to navigate narrow spaces and reducing the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Experience Smart Park Assist
Some newer Hyundai models feature Smart Park Assist, allowing you to summon your vehicle from its parking space using only your key fob. This technology is particularly helpful in North Tonawanda, NY, shopping centers where parking spaces can be tight. Hold the forward or reverse button on your smart key while standing near your vehicle, and it will slowly move out of the parking space.
Quick Trunk Access
Loading groceries or luggage is easier with the dedicated trunk release button on your Hyundai key fob. Press and hold the trunk button for about a second, and your cargo area will unlock and open automatically on power liftgate-equipped models.
