hyundai car care app
In a time when technology is running the world, it would make sense for car manufacturers to also improve on their technology—and not just inside the vehicles. The Hyundai Car Care app is the type of innovation that is making headlines. Instead of placing traditional paper owner’s manuals inside the glove compartment of each vehicle, Hyundai may abandon this in favor of the app instead. 


Past Successes

The reason for the possible change isn’t just based on the prevalence of technology in today’s society, but also on past success stories. When Hyundai first launched the Equus, they gave away Apple iPads to people who bought the vehicle, and these iPads were pre-loaded with an owner’s manual app. While Hyundai has stopped offering iPads with the app, the idea of it is what inspired the Hyundai Car Care app to evolve.


How it Works

The app will change the way people connect with their vehicle. Owners will need to tell the app what type of model they have as well as any special options/upgrades they’ve chosen. Once this initial information is entered, the ease of use begins. Vehicle owners will simply need to hold their mobile device toward a specific area of the vehicle, and the app will recognize the vehicle and provide detailed and clickable information. This will work on the front, rear, engine bay, seat controls, and dashboard of the vehicle. The app will also provide “how to” information for simple tasks or provide information on service lights. And if the vehicle recognizes that a warning or alert requires professional attention, it can schedule a service appointment or contact roadside assistance.


Expected Timeline and Vehicles

The Hyundai Car Care app will be available before the new year. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is the first vehicle that will offer the app, but it will be included throughout the rest of the 2015 Hyundai models and beyond.
