The inclusion of Blue Link remote and Assurance Car Care features into the MyHyundai makes vehicle management and ownership seamless. Currently, owners can manage their Blue Link account, along with tracking vehicle service history, scheduling maintenance and checking vehicle information on MyHyundai.com.

To access the full set of app features, users will need to activate their Blue Link service with the remote package. Customers without a current Blue Link subscription can get a demonstration of the Blue Link remote features inside the MyHyundai app.

Blue Link brings unified connectivity directly into the car with technology like Remote Start with Climate Control, Destination Search powered by Google^®, Remote Door Lock/Unlock, Car Finder, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, and Stolen Vehicle Recovery. Blue Link can be easily accessed from the buttons on the rearview mirror, the Web or via the MyHyundai app. Some of these features can even be controlled via the latest Android Wear™ and new Apple Watch™ smartwatch offerings.

Customers can use the car care features found in the MyHyundai app to conveniently schedule an oil change at their favorite dealership or access their Hyundai's interactive owner's manual that provides owners a convenient, simpler way to become familiar with the full capabilities of the vehicle. The MyHyundai app also has quick reference guides and maintenance and recall reminders.
