Minor thing...

Since I've had the car, about 3 months, when I started the car I held the start button (along with the brake pedal). Silly me. With your foot on the brake it only takes a quick "flick" on the starter button to start the car. The "starter" is really engaged with the brake pedal, not the starter button!

Symbiosis is a beautiful thing.

Doesn't work on my R_Spec

 

[Glashub]

Doesn't work on my 4.6. I get a pop up with all of the presets that allows me to stre or reset the presets. Does not mute.

I don't sweat the mute button absence on my car because it's so easy to push the vol down on the steering wheel. One thing I do miss is the lack of a fast way to turn the Nav screen on and off, especially at night. Who needs a searchlight on the dash at night?

Sure, I can drill down in the touchscreen menu, but.... Or, maybe there is a voice command for that? No, there are 5,000 voice commands, but none to turn off the screen. Come on Hyundai!!!

How do YOU keep your screen dark?

With voice commands:

"Front full display off" (black) or "Display off" (partial off)

Press and hold power/volume button on dash whether the caution screen is displayed or not and the display will turn off.

Press and hold power/volume button on dash and the display will turn on.

My wife was driving our 2011 R-spec and I was driving in front of her. I noticed that when she turned on the turn signal, the extremely bright daytime driving light turns off on that side making the turn signal very visible. It comes right back on after turn signal goes off.

Very nice programming.

Didn't know there was a 2011 R-Spec

Interesting discovery. Doubt many others have noticed. Didn't know abt the extra bright DRLs either.

I left my headlights on last night when I parked in the garage, and my kids distracted me. They went off on their own (the lights, not the kids).

This morning, I drove with them on... and when walking away from the car (and performing the obligatory "look back and drool over your new car" sequence) I noticed they were still on. I began walking back to the car, and the lights turned off on their own I'm guessing about 30 seconds to a minute, and they go off. I read the OM cover to cover TWICE before I bought the car, and hadn't seen that on there for some reason.

Best feature on the car? Giving BMW guys whiplash as they try to figure out exactly what I'm driving! I haven't verified this yet, but there might also be a feature where they get severe heartburn when they research it online afterwards and realize it can be had for $30 to $40 grand.

When I accelerate hard, my seat belts don't just lock up, they tighten and hold me in my seat, my wife has noticed the same happens on the passenger side too.

 

[ohstew]

Hmmm, thanks, didn't know that!

Unless I'm missing something, that requires 10 actions (button presses/movements) to cancel a route. You basically have to go to the nav menu, change route, select the destination, and then delete or delete all. Oh, and then you have to confirm that you really wanted to delete the route point.

Much easier to say "suspend route guidance"

To cancel a route while on the map screen simply press once on the selection knob...it brings of a list of options press again on suspend route guidance.

I knew this but yesterday my wife discovered Waypoint entry in the nav and it was like she had just received a Christmas present. Frequently she does a lot of traveling visiting several locations throughout the day, so the waypoint helps a lot.

I was using the navigation tonight and just learned that if you hit the "Disp" button on the steering wheel you have a new nav option that isn't there when navigation isn't running. It displays the "next step" information including street name, direction and distance. Very nice feature to be able to put it on the screen right in front of you since I sometimes change the main screen to something else while navigating.

Not sure if anyone said it before, but if you lock your doors twice with the remote, your power mirrors fold in.

Unlock to unfold.
