Auto Speed Locks

Just asking a follow up. I have a '06 Sonata LX. I would like to turn on the
auto door locks. My owner's manual says "See Dealer". Is there a way to turn
this on without driving ALL the way to me dealership.

Not without the dealer's scan tool. I'm guessing no one else other than
the dealer was willing to put out the $4k for a Hyundai-specific scan
tool.

 

I guess if I want auto locks I'm driving.

Thanks.

 

Short answer is "No". But if you have a computer that will attache to the
Hyundai interface (and the software) it sould be relatively easy.

Wow, the HiScan tool is THAT expensive? I guess I'll knock that off of
my holiday wishlist.

The Sonata automatic door lock feature works a little differently than
I expected. Because of the way it operates, you may want to consider
choosing a slightly higher activation speed. I believe there is a
choice of five speeds. I chose 30km/h (about 20 mph). With the
feature activated, any time the doors are unlocked above the set speed,
they will re-lock. If a low speed is programmed, it may prevent you
from unlocking your doors as you roll into your driveway. I have
enountered this even with the 20mph setting. (And you're correct that
I probably shouldn't be driving in excess of 20mph on my driveway...)
