6 ADVERTISING FEATURE Reinvented i30 debuts interactive smartphone app for smarter driving HYUNDAI has launched a worldfirst smartphone app that helps new i30 owners become better drivers. Standard on new i30 variants, Hyundai Auto Link is technology that connects your car’s smart computer to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, keeping track of your car’s performance and providing analytical information so you can get more out of life with your i30. The comprehensive new information platform delivers realtime driving data – and much more – to i30 owners’ smartphones. Hyundai Auto Link offers seamless access to everything from real-time vehicle diagnostics, including tyre pressure monitoring and vehicle ‘health-check’ status, to driving history statistics, parking management, easy service scheduling and automatic access to roadside assistance if required. Hyundai Motor Company Australia (HMCA) is Hyundai’s first subsidiary worldwide to offer the sophisticated new information platform. It was trialed extensively locally before being launched to i30 owners earlier this month. Hyundai Auto Link has been fitted to all new i30s (PD) since the vehicle’s launch in April 2017, thus existing owners can access the technology by simply downloading the app. “Hyundai Auto Link offers i30 drivers deeper ownership involvement with their car as well as with their driving,” says HMCA Sales Academy and Training Manager, Glenn Forster. “Auto Link uses real-time driving history statistics to monitor and analyse bad driving habits, including rapid acceleration, hard braking and so much more. Using that information, owners are able to adjust their driving style for smoother, more fuel-efficient driving and, importantly, less wear and tear on their car.” Hyundai Auto Link also lets drivers compare their driving statistics with those of other i30 owners. “As with all its functions, Hyundai Auto Link information screens are available in real time simply by swiping across your smartphone screen,” Glenn Forster says. Other invaluable Hyundai Auto Link features include Parking Management, which provides a parking timer and helps locate your car in large car parks. Via its Vehicle Health Check, Vehicle Health Report and Maintenance functions, Hyundai Auto Link also provides service schedule information while monitoring the replacement cycle of consumable parts, even scheduling a required service with the owner’s preferred Hyundai dealer. Hyundai Auto Link also connects i30 owners with their New car releases - June 2017 BASED on Subaru’s new Global Platform that made its debut with the new Impreza, Subaru promises the all-new XV will see great improvements in chassis vibrations, rigidity and body while reducing bodyroll through cornering and improving response to driver input.

Importantly Hyundai Auto Link is not a static platform - its capabilities and features will be further developed in the months and years to come. Existing new i30 (PD) owners can download the app free of charge from the Apple and Android app stores. Supported minimum operating systems for smartphones are Android OS - 4.3 version (post Galaxy S3) and iPhone iOS 8.1.
