Winter driving can be stressful, with freezing temperatures, snow-covered roads, and the need for extra preparation. Fortunately, Hyundai's BlueLink® connected vehicle system is designed to make winter more manageable by offering a range of remote features and personalized services that enhance convenience and safety. Below are five ways that BlueLink® can make your life easier during the cold months, allowing you to focus on enjoying the season rather than battling its challenges.
1- Remote Start with Climate Control for a Warm Cabin Every Time
With BlueLink®, you can remotely start your Hyundai from the comfort of your home. Even better, you can pre-set the climate control system so that the cabin is warm and the windshield is defrosted before you head out. Whether you're preparing for an early morning drive or returning to your car after work, this feature ensures your vehicle is comfortable and ready to go.
Why It Matters in Winter: No more scraping frost off the windshield or waiting for the heater to warm up. Your Hyundai will be cozy from the moment you get in, making those frigid mornings much more bearable.
2- Find Your Car in Snow-Covered Parking Lots with Vehicle Finder
It’s easy to lose track of your car in a snow-covered parking lot, especially after a long day of shopping or work. BlueLink® helps by pinpointing your vehicle’s exact location on a map via the app, saving you time and frustration. This feature works particularly well in large lots or unfamiliar areas.
Why It Matters in Winter: Instead of wandering through a cold parking lot searching for your car, you’ll know exactly where it is—no more freezing walks from one aisle to another.
3- Receive Real-Time Maintenance Alerts to Avoid Winter Breakdowns
Winter weather puts extra strain on your car’s systems, making maintenance even more critical. BlueLink® monitors your vehicle and sends real-time alerts for issues such as low tire pressure, battery health, or upcoming service needs. Staying on top of these alerts helps you prevent small problems from becoming major issues, especially during cold weather.
Why It Matters in Winter: A well-maintained vehicle is less likely to break down during winter. BlueLink® ensures you stay informed about your car's health, helping you avoid unexpected issues on snowy roads.
4- Enhanced Safety with Automatic Collision Notification and Assistance
Driving in winter conditions increases the risk of accidents, whether from icy roads or reduced visibility. BlueLink® offers peace of mind with Automatic Collision Notification, which alerts emergency services if your vehicle is involved in a collision. The system will also share your location with responders, ensuring help arrives quickly.
Why It Matters in Winter: In the event of an accident on slippery roads or in remote areas, BlueLink® ensures you aren’t left stranded. The immediate notification system gets help to you faster, even if you’re unable to call for assistance yourself.
5- Remote Lock and Unlock to Avoid Fumbling with Keys in the Cold
Have you ever struggled with frozen fingers trying to unlock your car in the middle of a snowstorm? With BlueLink®, you can lock or unlock your Hyundai remotely via the app. This feature is also helpful if you need to let someone else into your car without meeting in person—just unlock it for them from wherever you are.
Why It Matters in Winter: No more fumbling with keys in freezing temperatures or leaving your car unlocked while you run errands. BlueLink® ensures you can securely lock or unlock your car no matter where you are.
