The Hyundai Palisade is designed with convenience in mind, and a significant part of that is thanks to its smart key fob. Beyond just locking and unlocking your doors, the Hyundai Palisade key fob offers a range of functions to enhance your driving experience. Let’s delve into the key features that make your Palisade key fob a powerful tool.
One of the most appreciated features, especially for drivers sharing the vehicle, is the Seat Easy Access function. Imagine this scenario: your previous driver had the seat adjusted to their preference. Upon entering your Palisade, instead of fumbling for the seat controls, the Palisade can automatically adjust the driver’s seat and steering wheel to your ideal position. This is achieved through the Seat Easy Access setting.
When exiting the vehicle, with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF position, gear in Park (P), and the driver’s door opened, Seat Easy Access activates. The driver’s seat moves rearward, and the steering wheel moves upward, creating more space for easier exit. The extent to which the seat moves back can often be customized within the infotainment system settings, allowing you to choose between Normal, Extended, or Off. It’s worth noting that the seat might not move if there isn’t sufficient space behind it.
Upon re-entering your Hyundai Palisade, Seat Easy Access works in reverse to welcome you back. When you place the ignition to ACC, ON, or START, or even when you are carrying the smart key and close the driver’s door with the ignition in LOCK/OFF, the system kicks in. The driver’s seat and steering wheel will automatically return to their original, preset driving positions.
To personalize and activate this feature, navigate through your Palisade’s infotainment screen. Typically, you can find the settings under: Driver seat Setup > Vehicle > Seat > Seating Easy Access. Here, you can configure both “Driver Seat Easy Access” and “Steering wheel easy access”, choosing your preferred level of assistance or turning the feature off if desired.
Beyond Seat Easy Access, your Hyundai Palisade key fob likely includes other standard functions such as remote start, allowing you to pre-condition the vehicle’s interior temperature before entry. It also provides the essential lock and unlock buttons, and a panic button for emergencies. Depending on your Palisade’s trim and options, you might also have a button for the power liftgate, offering hands-free access to the cargo area.
In conclusion, the Hyundai Palisade key fob is more than just a key; it’s a gateway to a suite of convenience features designed to make every journey more comfortable and seamless. Understanding and utilizing these functions, especially Seat Easy Access, can significantly enhance your ownership experience.
