How do I activate my Hyundai Roadside Support?

When a customer first purchases a Hyundai vehicle, it automatically comes with 12 months free roadside and is activated by the dealership at the time of purchase. The customer can set up their myHyundai account and they can view the status of their roadside account. This is then renewed each time their vehicle has a major annual service at a Hyundai dealer. For more info you can visit https://www.hyundai.com.au/owning/benefits#roadside.

How can I change my mailing address, phone number, email address, or login password on myHyundai?

Once you have logged into your myHyundai account, Click on the 'Welcome' menu on the right hand side of the page. This will display a number of different menus including 'Update your contact details' and 'change your password'.

I have just taken ownership of a used Hyundai, what should I do next?

Customers can either call or email us (1800 186 306 or customercare@hyundai.com.au) and we will update the ownership details and roadside account details.

What is the radio PIN code for my vehicle? How do I get my radio PIN?

The radio PIN code for your vehicle is a unique anti theft number which prevents the radio being removed from the vehicle by unauthorised persons. This code is supplied to the owner of the vehicle on a blue card that is of similar size to a credit card, and generally provided with the owner’s manual and service passport when a new vehicle is sold.

If this card has been misplaced or stolen, the vehicle, along with registration papers will need to be taken to your nearest Hyundai Dealership to have the code retrieved from the serial number on the audio unit itself.

For security reasons, this cannot be done over the phone and Hyundai Australia do not keep the security pin codes on file. Charges for labour costs and code retrieval may apply.

A full list of Hyundai dealerships can be located at https://www.hyundai.com/au/en/find-a-dealer.

I have a technical question concerning a particular feature on a Hyundai vehicle. Where do I go?

There are a number of resources available for your to find the answer to your technical question.

You can try searching our site; the answer might be in the new car pages under specifications and accessories.

With each new Hyundai we provide an owners manual, generally this gives a guide on technical functions on the features of our vehicles.

Your nearest Hyundai Dealership can give you a face to face guide on the feature you need help with.

And of course you can also submit a new request by clicking on the link below. We look forward to talking with you.

If I leave it too long between my scheduled servicing periods will it affect my warranty?

To ensure the continued reliability and safety of your Hyundai, Routine Maintenance Services are required at specific kilometre or time intervals, whichever comes first. New Car Warranty may be invalid if the Routine Service Operations are not performed in line with Hyundai Australia’s recommendations.

For most of our passenger vehicles, the scheduled service interval is 12 months or 15,000 kilometres – whichever comes first.

(For the Veloster SR Turbo, Sonata Turbo and vehicles driven under demanding driving conditions [Hyundai servicing], the service interval is 6 months or 7,500 kilometres – whichever comes first.).

Scheduled maintenance services are recommended by the manufacturer and specified in the Service Passport.

For information about service schedules, costs and inclusions visit Get a Service Quote.
You can find out more about our Lifetime Service Care program by viewing the full Terms and Conditions.

When and how can I update my satellite navigation system?

All updates to the satellite navigation system must be completed by a Hyundai dealership. Depending on your vehicle and the system with which it is equipped, an update can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

Hyundai iCare offers a 6 year Mapcare plan for Hyundai vehicles fitted with a factory fitted satellite navigation system. Under this plan you receive updates delivered on an annual cycle within 6 years of the vehicle’s initial purchase. To qualify for the complimentary map updates, your vehicle’s 12 month/15,000kms or 24 month/30,000km scheduled services must be completed by a participating Hyundai dealership. More information about the 3 year Mapcare plan can be found by visiting https://www.hyundai.com/au/en/owning/icare.

To ensure the update is done correctly, please take your vehicle into a Hyundai dealership. If it is done improperly, the entire unit may be wiped out and is expensive to replace.

A list of all Hyundai Dealerships can be found at Find a Dealer.

Can I modify my car and if so, what will happen to my warranty?

Modifications to your Hyundai may not affect your vehicle warranty, unless a component failure is caused by the modification either by its installation, its operation, or if the component failure is part of the modification. Hyundai cannot warrant third party workmanship or components.

You can find out more about our warranty program by visiting our warranty information page or downloading the full Warranty Terms and Conditions.

If I have my vehicle serviced by someone other than a Hyundai Dealer, will this void my warranty?

The required scheduled maintenance services can be carried out by someone other than a Hyundai dealership, however, the service provider must comply with the requirements of the warranty and issue detailed service invoice documentation to substantiate that the maintenance was carried out as per manufacturer’s recommendation for the warranty to remain valid.

The information that is required on the auditable invoice must include the following; VIN/Chassis Number of the vehicle, registration number of the vehicle, kilometres at the time of service, date of the service, type and grade of oils and lubricants used. These detailed invoices must be kept and provided for review whenever requested to ensure the validity of the new car warranty.

We recommend using Hyundai iCare Service Centres who can provide Hyundai Trained Technicians using Hyundai Genuine Parts to ensure the integrity of your new car warranty.

A list of all Hyundai Dealerships can be found at Find a Dealer.

I need a Hyundai Owners Manual or Service Passport for a particular model. Can you help?

The parts department of your nearest Hyundai dealership will be able to assist with the purchase of an owners manual or service passport for your Hyundai vehicle.

A list of all Hyundai Dealerships can be found at Find a Dealer.

About Hyundai and the Hyundai Motor Company. The Company

Hyundai was founded in 1946 in Seoul, Korea. The name ‘Hyundai’ literally means ‘Modern era’, and from the very start the company quickly adopted a passion for progress which has been our hallmark ever since.

In less than 50 years, the Hyundai group has become a world leader in building everything from ships to microchips, including consumer electronics, oil rigs and massive infrastructure projects.

We even have our own steel blast furnace to process raw materials, many of which come from Australia, which provides enhanced quality control over our products.

The Hyundai Motor Company

The Hyundai Motor Company was founded in 1967. It produced Korea’s first locally designed car in 1976, and now produces close to four million cars and commercial vehicles a year. Today, Hyundai employs over 68,000 people around the globe. We have manufacturing plants in Korea, India, the USA and the Czech Republic, and joint venture plants in China, Turkey, South-East Asia, South America, Africa and Russia.

Hyundai is growing into a brand appreciated by its customers by continuously striving to achieve the single goal of making excellent quality products with an emphasis on exceeding customer expectations.

Hyundai now ranks as the world’s fifth largest automotive corporation. What’s more, Hyundai annually invests billions of dollars in research and development to continuously bring you eye-catching, practical cars that are safer and more efficient than ever before. Take a closer look.

Does the refueller generate its own hydrogen?

Not yet. Initially it will use compressed hydrogen supplied by Coregas Australia in bottled form.

The hydrogen is made by natural gas reformation at Port Kembla NSW.

HMCA is planning to install an electrolyser unit next to the refueller to make hydrogen on-site, using water extracted from the atmosphere combined with solar power that has been installed on the roof of our building.

We will reveal details of this unit in good time. Meanwhile, the Air Products machine combined with Coregas-supplied hydrogen serves our purposes well. 

You can also find out more about our latest fuel cell vehicle – the all-new Nexo – by clicking here.

How does the Nexo work?

It is essentially an electric car, with the electricity supplied by a hydrogen fuel cell stack. The clever part happens inside the fuel cell itself – in simple terms, hydrogen from the fuel tank is combined with air, then passed through a membrane that creates the electricity that powers the Nexo’s electric motor. Here’s what happens step by step:

  • The hydrogen fuel cell has two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a membrane.
  • Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other.
  • The hydrogen reacts to a catalyst on the electrode anode that converts the hydrogen gas into negatively-charged electrons (e-) and positively charged ions (H+).
  • The electrons flow out of the cell to be used as electrical energy.
  • The hydrogen ions move through the electrolyte membrane to the cathode electrode where they combine with oxygen to produce heat and water.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

How fast is the Nexo?

It accelerates from 0-100km/h in 9.54 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 178km/h. It’s no racing car, but it’s certainly not slow either. Drive it and you’ll see it’s like a normal car in most ways, except it makes no engine noise and has no gearbox.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

How long does it take to refuel the Nexo?

With an advanced full-size 700bar (10,000PSI) refueller, like those used in Europe and America, fill time is about three to five minutes, the same as a normal petrol or diesel car.

The refueller we have installed at HMCA in North Ryde is a small 350bar (5,000PSI) compressor. Fill time is five minutes.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

Is the hydrogen fuel in the vehicle dangerous?

The Nexo is designed to meet the strictest global vehicle safety standards, like all the safest cars do – over 30 of the vehicles have been crash-tested to verify its level of safety. It has passed the North American NHTSA test, one of the world’s toughest.

Many Hyundai Nexo vehicles are now operational on public roads around the world, including California and countries throughout Europe. That is testament to their safety.

The car’s hydrogen tanks are constructed with steel and carbon composite wrap, enough to contain the gas at a maximum operating pressure of 700bar (10,000psi). The hydrogen tanks have had bullets fired at them, have been put into fire baths and subjected to other extreme tests like drop test, burst pressure and crash tests to verify their strength – fuel pressure is greatly reduced before it enters the vehicle’s fuel cell stack. In short, the Nexo is an extremely safe car.

It is also worth noting that Australia is quite advanced with the use of other gaseous fuels like LPG and CNG, so hydrogen gas technology – more advanced than LPG – should represent no great challenge for Australia in safety terms.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

What is the Nexo like to drive?

It’s surprisingly quick – it develops maximum 120 kW of torque at zero revs and accelerates more rapidly than you’d expect. Some members of the Australian motoring media have driven it at Hyundai’s Namyang proving ground and during a 1000km hydrogen Highway drive in Germany. They were surprised by how ‘natural’ the car is to drive. Its drivetrain is almost silent, the same as any electric car, while producing no particulates or tailpipe emissions other than purified air and droplets of clean water.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

What is the specification of Australia’s first Fuel Cell vehicle?

It is a left-hand-drive, European-specification Nexo Fuel Cell. This model is currently not made in right hand drive.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

What is the specification of HMCA’s hydrogen refueller?

It is a 350bar refueller made by Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. of Allentown, Pennsylvania. We can provide full details of the unit if required.

Note that refuelling at 350bar instead of 700bar will mean the Nexo will have a range of approximately 300km – ample to demonstrate its capabilities.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

Why are you doing this? What is Hyundai’s long-term plan?

Although we are fascinated by the potential of a large-scale hydrogen transport network in Australia, we are – first and foremost – a vehicle manufacturer and an advocate of the technology. We were first to mass-produce a hydrogen car and we will remain at the forefront of this technology. However, it is up to governments and other interested parties to plan and construct a hydrogen transport infrastructure for the future.

We think there is great potential for the future with hydrogen in Australia, but we cannot fund or plan infrastructure on our own. Overseas examples would seem to show the benefits clearly, and, as in other parts of the world, Hyundai will assist with partnerships in every way possible.

Over the past four years, we at Hyundai Australia have spoken with just about every major hydrogen infrastructure manufacturer in the world and studied hydrogen projects in California, Germany, the UK and Scandinavia.

We’ve also attended hydrogen infrastructure project meetings in Paris to learn how cooperative projects operate with the support of governments, car makers and infrastructure manufacturers.

Could a ‘Hume by Hydrogen’ highway be built in the next few years? Of course. The potential is there for hydrogen highways and for even more ambitious plans to power remote communities using solar and hydrogen technology – such schemes could include completely emissions-free transport built in, with the capability to use hydrogen to store energy for when it’s most needed.

Over the past two years, discussions have been held with global infrastructure manufacturers, with one even showing interest in manufacturing the hydrogen stations in Australia – a great way to create engineering and manufacturing jobs here.

Hyundai Motor Company Australia is committed to hydrogen technology, but it will only work if vehicle and infrastructure manufacturers work together with businesses and governments to start planning for a greener future today.

 You can find more about the all-new Nexo by clicking here.

Why is it not made in right-hand drive?

Due to economies of scale: the vast bulk of these cars are now operating in left hand drive countries, including the USA, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany. British road regulations are more relaxed around left hand drive vehicles than Australia’s, so British cars are also left hand drive until the next generation right hand drive FCEV that is due in 2018.

Can Ethanol damage my Hyundai?

Hyundai vehicles equipped with carburettor fuel supply systems should not be run on Ethanol blended fuel of any ratio. This is due to both the incompatibility of the fuel lines with the moisture holding characteristics of Ethanol, and to the negative effect on vehicle performance due to the variation of vapour pressures between petrol and Ethanol. Ethanol is hygroscopic, (attracts and holds moisture), and can therefore accelerate corrosion. The use of E10 (Ethanol blended fuel) may result in negative effects to cold starting, as well as engine driveability (‘smoothness') at light to medium engine load conditions. It will also result in reduced fuel economy.

Can my Hyundai / which Hyundai's can run on Ethanol?

Hyundai vehicles equipped with Fuel Injection (petrol) manufactured after 31st October 2003 are equipped with fuel systems compatible with alcohol (Ethanol).

These vehicles can operate on a maximum of 10% Ethanol / 90% unleaded petrol, however if drive ability is affected, the use of 100% unleaded fuel is recommended. Ethanol blended fuel mixed at 10% is generally referred to as E10.

Hyundai vehicles equipped with Fuel Injection (petrol) manufactured before October 2003 do not have fuel systems compatible with alcohol (Ethanol). If Ethanol is to be used in these vehicles, then a maximum of 10% Ethanol / 90% unleaded fuel (E10) can be used in conjunction with periodic use of a fuel corrosion inhibitor. (The Hyundai recommended inhibitor is available under part number AL009M0002). This can be purchased at any authorised Hyundai Dealership. To find your nearest dealer please visit Find-a-Dealer.

Hyundai vehicles equipped with carburettor fuel supply systems should not be run on Ethanol blended fuel of any ratio. This is due to both the incompatibility of the fuel lines with the moisture holding characteristics of Ethanol, and to the negative effect on vehicle performance due to the variation of vapour pressures between petrol and Ethanol.

Do I have the latest map update?

Satellite navigation makes it easier to reach your destination faster. But with roads, buildings, landmarks and other points of interest continually changing, it's important that you're always using the most up-to-date maps.

That's why Hyundai iCare offers up to three years of complimentary HERE SatNav Update Plan updates for all new vehicles with factory-fitted satellite navigation. The attached link will provide further information on this campaign through icare: SatNav Update Plan


At the current time the latest map version available for the satellite navigation system is ‘Australia Q3.2014’.

New software and map updates usually release in the end of 2nd quarter or at the beginning of 3rd quarter of each year.

Should you require to update the map version, we recommend contacting your local Hyundai dealership who will be able to further assist in organising this for you.

With relation to confirming if your vehicle has the latest map update, the below process will allow you to confirm this:

Does LPG affect my Hyundai's fuel economy?

Hyundai vehicles are calibrated to make the best use of available petroleum fuels (including E10). This ensures the car's driveability, economy and most importantly, emissions are optimised. This calibration is locked into the Engine Control Module and cannot be changed. These vehicles do have the ability to adapt somewhat to most fuels used, however, LPG may lie outside this ability to adapt, so the onus would then be on the LPG fitter to ensure the car complies with all emission controls. Remember, at law, the final requirement to meet Government Emission Rules rests with the vehicle owner in the case of a modified vehicle.

Customers should be warned that the calorific value of LPG is different to petrol, and so a reduction in L/100km can be expected. The lubricity of LPG is less than petrol (LPG is often described as ‘dry') and so the car should be driven on petrol periodically. Some modern LPG injection systems actually start the car on petrol and change over to gas when the engine is warm for this very reason.

I have a technical question concerning a particular feature on a Hyundai vehicle. Where do I go?

There are a number of resources available for your to find the answer to your technical question.

You can try searching our site; the answer might be in the new car pages under specifications and accessories.

With each new Hyundai we provide an owners manual, generally this gives a guide on technical functions on the features of our vehicles.

Your nearest Hyundai Dealership can give you a face to face guide on the feature you need help with.

And of course you can also submit a new request by clicking on the link below. We look forward to talking with you.

I've changed my battery and my audio system is asking for a CDE / PIN.

As a security measure, your audio system may require a code to be entered if power is taken away from the system. Instructions for radio PIN code entry can also be found in your Audio System Handbook.

  1. If the stereo screen shows ‘1 CDE’ this is an indication that you need to enter your anti-theft security pin code
  2. Your security pin code is supplied to the owner of the vehicle on a blue card that is of similar size to a credit card, and generally provided with the owner’s manual and service passport when a new vehicle is sold. If this card has been misplaced or stolen, the vehicle, along with registration papers will need to be taken to your nearest Hyundai Dealership to have the code retrieved from the serial number on the audio unit itself. For security reasons, this cannot be done over the phone and Hyundai Australia do not keep the security pin codes on file. Charges for labour costs and code retrieval may apply.
  3. For example if your anti-theft security code was 9805 it would be entered as follows:
    1. Press pre-set button number one (1), Nine (9) times until a 9 appears on the screen
    2. Press pre-set button number two (2), Eight (8) times until an 8 appears on the screen
    3. Press pre-set button number three (3), Ten (10) times until a 0 appears on the screen
    4. Press pre-set button number four (4), Five (5) times until a 5 appears on the screen
    5. Check that the pin code shown on your stereo screen is ‘9805’
    6. Press pre-set button number five (5), once to activate the pin code
  4. Important: If you have entered the incorrect code or used an incorrect procedure at your first attempt, your stereo screen will show the following message ‘2 CDE’. This means that the correct instructions have not been followed or you have entered the incorrect pin code
  5. If the stereo screen shows the message ‘3 CDE’, this means that the correct instructions have not been followed or you have entered the incorrect pin code.
  6. If you fail to succeed to enter the correct pin code at the third attempt, your stereo will turn off. You will need to wait at least one hour before attempting to re-enter the correct anti-theft security pin code number using the procedure above.
My car is showing a symptom, can Customer Care help?

At this time the Customer Care team is unable to offer diagnosis of a vehicle's condition via phone or email. It is imperative that the vehicle be physically inspected by our Hyundai Trained Technicians at your local Hyundai Dealership to make a correct diagnosis.

A full list of Hyundai dealerships can be found by visiting https://www.hyundai.com/au/en/find-a-dealer.

Bluetooth Music Streaming.

Streaming music through your Hyundai is as easy as pressing a few buttons. Before you start, you will need to pair your phone with your Bluetooth system.

What do I do if I have put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you've accidently put the wrong fuel in your vehicle (petrol in a diesel tank/diesel in a petrol tank), don't turn on the ignition or start the engine. This will circulate the contaminated fuel and increase the risk of damage to your vehicle.

Your vehicle should be towed to your nearest Hyundai Service Centre. The contaminated fuel will need to be removed and replaced with clean fuel before the vehicle can be started. If you are covered by Hyundai Roadside Support, please call 1800 186 306 to arrange a tow.

What do I do if I lose my key?

In the unfortunate event that you lose your Hyundai key, your nearest Hyundai Dealership Parts Department will be able to assist you in obtaining a new key. They are in the best position to assist you with price and availability.

Your local dealer will need the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of your vehicle to ensure the correct part is ordered. Information on how to find your vehicle's VIN can be found here.

To find your nearest Hyundai Dealership, click here.

What is a VIN and how do I locate it?

All Hyundai vehicles have a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) which is made up of 17 alpha-numeric characters, excluding the letters I (i), O (o) and Q (q) to avoid confusion with the numbers 1 and 0. VIN's are permanent and remain attached to a specific vehicle for the life of the vehicle.

The VIN of your vehicle can be found on a plate attached to the top of the dashboard which can be seen easily through your windscreen from the outside or on a sticker located in the passenger door jam.

For a lot of owners, your vehicle's registration papers or insurance papers may also record the VIN.

For more information on locating your vehicles VIN, please refer to the “Consumer Information” section of your Owner’s Manual.

What is Ethanol?

Ethanol is made by fermenting and then distilling starch and sugar crops such as maize, sorghum, potatoes, wheat, sugar-cane, fruit and vegetable waste. The addition of ethanol increases the oxygen content in petroleum. It is sometimes referred to as 'Oxygenated Fuel'. Ethanol also raises the octane rating of fuel.

What is Matt paint?

INTRODUCING MATT PAINT TECHNOLOGY

This exciting matt paint technology produces a uniquely dramatic, hi-tech satin appearance, yet also provides a protective shell which safeguards the underlying paint film and ensures the outstanding long term durability of the Veloster. The matt paint finish, like any high quality vehicle paint finish, requires care and has some advantages. Matt finish vehicles do not require wax, polish or anything else to create shine. The aim is to always hand-wash the vehicle without scratching the matte paint finish and to protect it from (but not limited to) environmental fall out, bird droppings, tree sap damage – just as any other high quality paint finish would require.

MATT VERSUS CONVENTIONAL

The high gloss finish of conventional vehicle paintwork is created by the clear-coat layer – a transparent paint film which is applied over the colour layer to leave a tough, shiny surface. In contrast, matt clearcoat paint technology has been specifically formulated to eliminate the glossy sheen and light reflection of a conventional clear-coat. As a result, it creates an exclusive satin-like finish and gives the vehicle a unique exterior appearance.

What is the difference between metallic / mica and pearl paint?

Metallic/Mica : Metallic or Mica paint usually consists of small flakes of aluminium or other metals  to give the car a metallic sparkle by reflecting the light. This shine will not change colour when looked at from a different angle. The paint hue will stay the same.

Pearl: Pearl paint contains small flakes of mica (ceramic type crystals), a synthetic material that does not reflect light, but lets it refract white like into different shades. This will change the shade of the colour when looked at from different angles. (to replicate a natural pearl)

What is the radio PIN code for my vehicle? How do I get my radio PIN?

The radio PIN code for your vehicle is a unique anti theft number which prevents the radio being removed from the vehicle by unauthorised persons. This code is supplied to the owner of the vehicle on a blue card that is of similar size to a credit card, and generally provided with the owner’s manual and service passport when a new vehicle is sold.

If this card has been misplaced or stolen, the vehicle, along with registration papers will need to be taken to your nearest Hyundai Dealership to have the code retrieved from the serial number on the audio unit itself.

For security reasons, this cannot be done over the phone and Hyundai Australia do not keep the security pin codes on file. Charges for labour costs and code retrieval may apply.

Where is the tyre-changing equipment located?

The jack, jack handle, and wheel lug nut wrench are stored in the luggage compartment for majority of our vehicles, you may need to lift up the luggage box cover to reach this equipment.

In the case of the iLoad and iMax they can be found in the driver’s side entry door step. To change a flat tyre, refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete directions.

If you have active Hyundai Roadside Support, please call 1800 186 306 and select option 1. Let us send someone out to change it for you.

Would converting to LPG affect my Hyundai's drive-ability?

The ignition characteristics of LPG differ to those of petrol and therefore the amount of ignition advance required at varying RPMs and engine loads differs. This may cause driveability difficulties or pinging on engines without knock sensors. LPG combustion occurs at higher temperatures, so abnormal combustion can result in significant engine damage. On engines with knock sensors, a reduction in performance may be experienced.

Question. Answer.
Are Hyundai Genuine Parts covered by warranty?

Yes. All Hyundai Genuine Parts are covered by a 12-month warranty by your Hyundai Dealership.

You can find out more about our warranty policy by visiting our warranty information page.

Are Hyundai Genuine Parts more expensive?

Yes and no… While there are cheap non-genuine parts on the market, usually their lifespan can be much shorter than Genuine Parts, which means they may need to be replaced more often and so could work out more expensive in the long run.

The cost to be considered is the potential repair costs associated with non-genuine parts damaging other components in your Hyundai – and these can be very expensive.

Are Hyundai Parts and Accessories covered by a warranty?

All Hyundai Genuine Accessories are backed by a 5 year warranty if purchased at the time of a new Hyundai vehicle and fitted by an authorised Hyundai dealer.

For Hyundai Genuine Accessories fitted by an authorised Hyundai dealer after vehicle purchase and during the Hyundai vehicle's warranty period, the applicable warranty period is the longer of the following;

  1. period commencing from the date of the fitment until expiry of the relevant Hyundai vehicle's warranty period, or
  2. period of 12 months from the date of fitment.
