Hyundai’s Bluelink Connected Car Services transform your experience on the road. From remote features to enhanced safety, the app makes modern life simpler. In this article, we explore what Bluelink is, its benefits, and how it works. We also explore the different available packages so you can decide which is best for you.
What Are Bluelink Connected Car Services?
Bluelink is a connected car service offered by Hyundai. It’s complimentary for the first three years after buying your new Hyundai (a 2023 model or newer). You can access the app from your smart device to enjoy a host of services and features at your fingertips. The app is designed to provide a safe and comfortable driving experience on the California roads.
Why Are Bluelink Packages Important?
Drivers rely on Bluelink packages for multiple reasons, the most important one being safety. Cars are complex machines. Small things, such as deflated tires, can affect your stability on the road and be a potential safety risk for you and your family. The Bluelink app allows you to monitor and track your car’s condition and performance with the vehicle health report. The app alerts you to any necessary maintenance tasks, such as if your tire pressure is too low. This can help you spot potential safety issues before they become a major problem.
What’s more, features such as automatic collision notification, SOS assistance, and roadside assistance are crucial in case of an emergency. Simply press and hold down the panic button on your fob key to alert your emergency contacts. Your car will start honking and flickering the lights to attract attention. These safety features provide peace of mind, especially if you often drive alone.
