Hyundai Ioniq 5

Not sure I can put off reading the manual any longer.

Nothing seems to save.

I set charging to max 80% and my eircode is input for "home".

And as soon as I switch the car off and come back to it later none of the settings are saved for some reason.

Additionally - where is the best place to check what the latest software number is so I can see if we are up to date?

Yes,

Much better IMO.

Not sure about the higher spec models, but not afaik on the Executive. Just press the door handle to lock and if you forget the app will notify you.

Just a few observations from the missus now that she has been driving the car for a week.

She loves the driving position, not too high or too low. But far easier to enter and exit than her old classic.

Speed is deceptive, very easy to break the speed limit. She has set the GPS speed to display on maps, easy to do through settings. The speedo seems to be very accurate, same as GPS speed which is a rarity with modern cars.

Range for her is loads, most trips returning 18 or 19 kWh/100km. OK for winter, 300 km looks about right as we expected. She doesn't hang around, but no motorways as yet.

We do indeed.

Need to if it's an issue because we have 2 profiles set up. Not sure we actually need 2 really.

Only thing we'd like to ideally be able to do is have memory seats for the 2 of us, will need to look into whether we can do it with just one profile.

Will the seat automatically return to your preference if you select a different profile?

Thanks, simple things like that can be a deal breaker to me!!

Only have the car a day so this might be a stupid question (I’m sure I’ll have a few!) but is anyone having an issue with opening the charging port door by manually pressing the button on the port door? I’m pressing it really hard (as it’s supposed to push in the button behind the metal) but it’s not opening! I’m using the button on the key fob at the moment.

Update - I think the car needs to be unlocked in order for the button to work. Here fly charging it up now so I’ll give that a go in the morning.

Update - using my thumb won’t work, even with pressure! Need to push against it with the palm of my hand 🤔

I don't think that button will open the charing door. The dealer told me you have to use the key fob.

I feed like there may be a setting I have missed or maybe it need an update, but for now I don't think it works.

Two of mine were 41 on one side and on the other they were 37.

I put them all to 36 but the computer reading is constantly changing and sometimes says they're under. Sometimes higher.

I thought leaving between 20-80% was best for the battery? We drive it daily, although not necessarily for long distances.

The Ioniq 5 did quite well with the "Moose" test. Better than many other EVs tested so far.

Unusual question but is everyone's car missing a grab handle on the headliner on the drivers side? It's on the passenger side headliner, and the shape of it is there in headliner on drivers side, but there's no handle !

Finally got the keys of our Mystic Olive over the weekend. I would like to sincerely thank all the members who responded to my queries here/PM, really appreciate all the advice. Absolute loving it, drove for hours over the weekend and still learning the features. Few quick questions which I was unable to resolve - Ours is Executive model - the bottom black seems to be hide out with this color - but we still love this color - something unique tried this time :)

1) The boot/hold button of the car is not working with key fob button - tried many times - is it not available for Exec? - I was thinking otherwise since provided in key fob

2) After clicking the "Start/Stop" button, if we spend some time on infotainment or exploring other features, the car doesn't allow us to go from P to D. It always goes from P to N and nothing else, we have to press "Start/Stop" & P few times - then somehow it allows us to go to D mode. What is missing here please?

3) Instant heating - Even after "Heat" option is selected and climate to 25 - it doesnt get warm instantly. only Cool air seems to flow in - is it only available during driving?

Re: Point 2 (as I think all the rest were answered) if you put your foot on brake when hitting the start button there's no issue then selecting gear, again with foot on break.

I was struggling with this too first few days.

To answer your question re not being able to select gear this might help

I've found another use case of this if you start it without putting the foot on the break. Not a big deal but if this happens easiest way to fix is restart while keeping the foot on the break.

I was stuck for a bit today. I was using one of the free chargers at Tescos in Stillorgan. Plugged in, worked well, came back later and had no idea how to unplug it?!? The charger is one of the free ones, so no buttons to stop the charge. Which means that the cable was locked in on both ends.

Looked around and went through the menus, I didn’t see a way to stop the charging process.

After a few minutes I remembered that I can stop the charge from the app. What if I forgot the phone? There must be a way to manually stop a charge from within the car?

Nope. Strange but there is no stop charging option that I can find.

But I figured it out. RTFM to myself :-/

Unlocking the car will stop the charge for 15 second and allow you to unplug it. I unlocked it, but the shopping away and by then the 15 seconds had passed and the cable was locked in again.

Not very intuitive…. But clearly outlined in the manual. Ups!

Anyone know if the Executive is available in Teal Green? Also, any chance a dealer will giver me anything for an 07 Civic? Really would rather not have to sell it on Donedeal.

You can only ask them, I'm sure they'll give you something. My mum traded in a 07 Saab recently and got 1k for it.
