Accessing Your Digital Owners Manual

Modern Hyundai vehicles come equipped with electronic owners manuals built directly into the infotainment system. This digital manual provides the same comprehensive information as the traditional paper manual, but with added convenience and searchability. Whether you're driving a new Elantra, Tucson, Santa Fe, or any recent Hyundai model, accessing your electronic manual is simple and straightforward.

Quick Tip

The electronic owners manual is available even when your vehicle is parked, making it perfect for learning about features in your driveway or garage.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Turn on your vehicle or put it in accessory mode to power up the infotainment system.
  2. Look for the "Apps" or "Menu" button on your touchscreen display - this is typically located at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Navigate to "Owner's Manual" or "e-Manual" in the apps menu. Some models may have it under "Vehicle Settings" or "Info."
  4. Select the manual icon to open the electronic owners manual interface.
  5. Browse by categories such as "Getting Started," "Features," "Maintenance," or "Safety Information."
  6. Use the search function if available to quickly find specific topics or features.

Alternative Access Methods

If you can't locate the electronic manual through the apps menu, try these alternative methods:

Voice Commands: Many Hyundai vehicles respond to voice commands like "Open owners manual" or "Show vehicle manual" when you press the voice recognition button on your steering wheel.

Physical Button: Some models have a dedicated "INFO" or "MANUAL" button on the center console or dashboard that directly accesses the electronic manual.

Settings Menu: Check under "Vehicle Settings" ? "General" ? "Owner Information" or similar menu structures depending on your model year.

What You'll Find in Your Electronic Manual

Your Hyundai's electronic owners manual contains the same comprehensive information as the printed version, including:

Vehicle operation instructions, safety information, maintenance schedules, warning light explanations, audio system setup, navigation system guidance, warranty information, and troubleshooting tips. The digital format often includes interactive diagrams and videos that aren't possible in printed manuals.

Model-Specific Features

Newer Hyundai models (2020+) may include additional features like voice-guided tutorials, animated demonstrations, and integration with your MyHyundai account for personalized maintenance reminders.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're having trouble accessing your electronic manual, first ensure your infotainment system is fully updated. Software updates often improve functionality and add new features. If the manual icon isn't visible, try restarting your infotainment system by holding the power button for 10 seconds.

For vehicles that may not have the electronic manual feature, don't worry - you can always access digital versions through the Hyundai website or MyHyundai mobile app using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
