So this seems to be new for Hyundai vehicles. I was outside without my keys and noticed my SC was unlocked. I opened the driver's side door and pressed the lock button and nothing happened. It wouldn't lock. Tried it on the passenger side and same thing, wouldn't lock. On top of that, I don't even see a manual override lock/unlock switch that's usually next to the door handle where you can manually lock and unlock a single door.
Now all of this works on my other current Hyundai vehicles including my 2020 Santa Fe and my sons 2021 Sonata. They both have manual override switches next to the door handles, and they both lock all the doors when I press the electronic lock button on the inside door panel.
So what gives? Is there no way to lock the car if you don't have your keys or you don't have your phone with bluelink on you? And why is that? What's the purpose from removing this "feature"?
And why no manual override switch next to the door handle? I thought that in the event that there was an electrical failure and the electronic locks weren't working, you could use the manual lock/unlock to get out of your car, or in an emergency. How does all this work now if there is no such switch?
