5 More Essential Tips for Your Ioniq 5

[@MartysRandomStuff]

You put up the V2L specs for a UK or EU cars that have a 240V outlet, for north American cars the limit is 1800W. The amps are still the same (15A) but 120V gives half the watts vs. the 240V countries. Also in north America it's 60Hz, not 50Hz.

Hyundai should have warranted your battery. They have had many problems with their 12 volt batteries.

I am very happy that I bought this vehicle. Enjoyable and perfect

Great video. Looks like the easiest filter change in the industry. Also, I wondered how I would eventually get my wipers not to hit the hood. There is a way to lock you car in utility mode or even when it's running. I thought that's what you were going to show when you opened the window. Here is the way. Open the window all the way. Reach inside and press the lock button. Immediately press the window up button. Your car is now locked. There's is only one way to open it. Slide out the physical from the FOB. Push on the handle on either the driver of passenger door. Use the physical key to unlock the door. The app won't work do it and neither will the FOB button. I think it would be an easy software update to allow it and I don't know why it doesn't. Our Nissan Ariya lets you look it while it's running with the key FOB.

Im going to have to give that a try!

The wiper arm will chip the windshield if allowed to snap against the glass. Chips can lead to cracks. Always put down a cushion when you start the procedure.

In regards to the V2L plug being locked when the car is unlocked, I think it might be due to the settings in the car regarding locking chargers when in use. I don't have a V2L plug, but I have my IONIQ 5 set to lock the charging port while charging. It autounlocks when charging is finished or if I unlock the car using the fob. My bet is that if you change the settings in the car to always unlocked charging port, you can remove it without unlocking via the fob, but then you open up the ability for others to unplug your car when charging.

I think you’re right. I was thinking about it and yeah it’s more of a security feature but I have read people’s frustration online about it.

New Ioniq 5 owner here. Great videos! You're very informative and entertaining, so keep it up! Sorry about the battery drain issue. Hopefully, they've addressed that with the 2024 models.

In utility mode just lock the door with the key inside the fob... NEVER let a fob inside the car when you do that.

[@Fred70115]

Why?

[@andreb.8266]

@@Fred70115 To avoid the car being stole....

For "Carwash mode" you don't have to change anything regarding the regenn. Just disable auto hold, get it in neutral.

[@hurcane]

Additionally, If you have to exit the vehicle for the car wash, holding the OK button is necessary. Otherwise, the car will shift to park when the door is opened. If you stay in the car, you don’t need to hold the button. Just shift to neutral and enjoy the ride.

Thanks for your comments Carlos. Have you tried to tow anything yet?

[@ExploreWithCarlos]

Hey! Thanks for watching! I have not tried towing anything yet. Possibly in the future

[@Amii.30]

Great videooo! Keep going! 🍋

[@vegas272007]

@9:25 have you tried keeping the door "latched" but not closed all the way? and locking it from the outside?

[@colleenboll9438]

Can you explain what the auto hold button is actually for ? I just purchased a 2024 Hyundai ioniq 5 and what learning curve!

[@ExploreWithCarlos]

Alright, imagine you're driving and you come to a stop at a traffic light or on a hill. The Auto Hold feature is super helpful and holds your car in place automatically, almost like when you pull up the handbrake. So, you don't have to keep pressing down on the brake pedal with your foot to keep the car from moving. It stays put until you decide it's time to go again, and then you just press the accelerator pedal, and off you go! It's like having a little extra helper making driving easier, especially when you're stuck in traffic or waiting on a steep hill. So, no more constantly switching between the brake and accelerator pedals - the Auto Hold does it for you! Easy peasy! Thank you so much for watching and enjoy your Ioniq 5!

[@colleenboll9438]

Oh! Thank you for that explanation

[@yonnymestampo8389]

I'm wondering what would happen when Hyundai decides to stop updating the maps. Will the information about chargers location be outdated and the car becomes a waste then?

[@danw7760]

Good vid, background noise was weird.. Ice-cream truck?

[@davidjulian8536]

To lock the car while in utility mode, roll down the window and lock it like you did, then roll the window up using the button on the key fob.

[@stephan1061]

Lets say I sleep in the back with the car in utility mode. How do I open the tailgate? The key fob don’t seem to work.

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Is there a way to deactivate the alert that always appears when you start the vehicle? Ito gotten annoying.

[@dge4560]

Drill a hole in the bottom of the v2l cap, and water can run out. Problem solved.

[@dperreno]

Just a clarification - you only need to turn off Auto Hold if you had turned it on previously.

[@darrington]

Great vid as always, very informative
