Hyundai updates the 2023 Tucson

Feature

Description

• Automatic Collision Notification (ACN) is an important safety feature within Bluelink™. In the event of an accident and an airbag deploys, an Automatic Collision Notification signal will be automatically transmitted to the Bluelink™ Customer Care Centre. A trained Bluelink™ response operator will attempt to establish voice communication with the vehicle occupants, dispatch appropriate services and remain on the line until help arrives.
• In addition, an SOS button can be used for emergency assistance 24/7, 365 days a year.

• Included in the Bluelink™ subscription, Connected Routing allows the navigation route to be calculated by a powerful server in the Bluelink™ cloud, rather than by the in-car navigation system. The vehicle sends the user-set destination to the server and guides them through the optimal route based on the pattern information that analyses real-time and estimated traffic information.

• 2023 Tucson Elite and Highlander drivers can now access hands-free calls, navigation and search for system settings by activating Voice Recognition with a push of the button on the steering wheel.
• The natural-language-based Voice Recognition allows users to perform commands, including route guidance and weather updates, with natural language phrases such as ‘What will the weather be like tomorrow?’ or ‘Stop guidance’.
• Drivers can also phone anyone in their contacts by saying ‘Call’ or navigate to an address or point of interest (POI) by saying ‘Find’ followed by the address or POI name.

• Valet mode lets the driver set a personal PIN code to override the infotainment system disabling access to all of the 10.25” Multimedia system functions, for situations when vehicle privacy or security is required for examples at Parking Stations, Car Washes etc.
• In addition, with the Bluelink™ app, the driver can monitor the vehicle status (vehicle location, driving time, driving distance, average and top speed) while somebody else (such as a valet attendant) is responsible for the car.

• Bluelink™ users will know in advance whether they’ll need a jacket -or their Hyundai’s windscreen wipers -with on-map weather information for their location, the set destination, or their favourite city.
• The cloud based Weather function provides live weather information for the current time, the weather in 3 or 6 hours and can even provide the weekly forecast ahead.

• Bluelink™ enables Google or iCloud calendar users to sync their calendar with the vehicle, even enabling route guidance via the calendar entry location

Send-to-Car

• After searching a trip on the app, users can send the route to their Hyundai’s navigation system, ready to go

• After parking near their destination, users can use the Bluelink™ app to continue the in-car navigation experience on foot with Augmented Reality or Google Maps smartphone guidance.

• Bluelink™ lets users remotely lock/unlock doors, start their vehicle, set their climate control temperature, or turn on the vehicle’s heated/ventilated seats (where fitted) and/or window defroster.

• “Did I lock the car?” If the user forgets, Bluelink™ app will send a push notification to their smartphone to let them know the car is unlocked. The user can then remote lock their car via the app.
• Other vehicle systems, such as battery health and lights can be easily checked via the app.
• The app also lets users check fuel level and remaining range.

• Bluelink™ lets users run a diagnostic check from the app to get a report alerting them if any of their Hyundai’s systems need to be checked (such as tyre pressure, brakes and battery)

• Forgotten where you parked? Open the Bluelink™ app, touch vehicle icon on the map and you can be guided to your car’s location by Augmented Reality (AR), or you can find the car by sight and sound (Light/Horn)

• Bluelink™ cloud back-ups let users save their personalisation and vehicle settings and easily transfer them to another car
