I just had an update on the Ioniq 5, and the safety feature screen, I could adjust the speedo 5 mph higher before it reminds me. I cant remember that feature before. You can adjust it to 3 or 5 mph over the limit. Dont know if its the same with the Tuscon, i would imagine the software would be more or less consistent across the range.
I would also have expected the system to be consistent across the range but, sadly, it isn’t. Someone had mentioned this feature a while back and I checked and the Tucson didn’t have it – just on (with a 1mph warning) or off. My car had a software update when in for its service a few weeks ago and another over the air update just a few days ago. I’ve just checked and, annoyingly, this feature has not been added.
It really bugs me, because if I could set it to warn at 5mph over the limit I would leave it on all the time and find it useful. However, at just 1mph over, when cars tend to overstate speed by about 1 or 2 mph anyway, plus my county only prosecutes above 10% + 1mph over the limit, it’s a complete pain in the a@se so I always switch it off every time it first starts bonging at me.
Unfortunately, even that doesn’t put an end to the bings and bongs. I always use Sat Nav, even on my 10 mile short journeys, in order to pick up traffic alerts. As there are several ways to go, if I deviate from the way the Sat Nav wants me to go, whereas the BMW system just silently recalculated a new route, the Hyundai system has to bing to tell me I’ve gone the ‘wrong’ way 😡It also seems to bing on occasions to alert me to speed limit changes, even when I’m not speeding🤬 Then there are the bings and bongs because my hands aren’t on the steering wheel (when they are) and telling me that I need to take a break, 5 minutes after I’ve left home 😡Finally there are other bings and bongs that 13 months in to ownership I still have absolutely no idea what they mean, as there is nothing flashing on the dash or HUD to indicate what the bing or bong is telling me 🤬. As you can probably tell, I am binged and bonged out with Hyundai 😂
