Fingerprint authentication system operation

Using features with touch control

The convenient features such as starting the engine, accessing personal information, unlocking profile, exiting valet mode, and making electronic payment (Hyundai Car pay) are available with the fingerprint authentication system.

When the fingerprint shape appears on the infotainment system screen, you should place your finger on the fingerprint sensor in the vehicle according to the instruction message for authorization and then you can operate the linked features without entering the password.

If the fingerprint authentication system does not work, pull your finger away from the fingerprint authentication sensor and then try again.

Fingerprint linked features can be turned on or off from the Settings menu. Select:
