Touch sensitive door handles

Hi

I’ve just bought an Ioniq 5 Ultimate and wow what a car!

I have a problem that I can’t figure out in that when I approach the car, the wing mirrors fold but when I touch the door handles, the doors don’t unlock?

I have the manual door handles not the electric ones and I can see the markings on the door where I have to place my finger but nothing works?

I’m guessing it must be a setting somewhere but where?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ant

I also have the Ultimate spec, with tech pack, and was surprised that it only had manual handles and not the electric pop out ones!
To operate the central locking from the handle button, you have to place your finger on the unlock square (it isn’t a touch sensor) and apply a small amount of pressure - the doors should unlock. It is the same to lock them.

I haven't taken delivery yet but based on Youtube (search on Ioniq 5 door handles)
I believe the feature is called 'Approach unlock' and can be controlled through the touch screen menu : Setup : Vehicle : door : approach unlock (enable/disable).
Hope you're successful and good luck.

Hardly “ultimate”
I have new ultimate and I can’t get the handles to pop out. I’m sick of explaining to passenger how to access the door handles.
Apparently this feature is only available with the Tech pack - didn’t know that before ordering!

I was told today that is not even available with the Tech Pack.?
I pick mine up on Friday and wondered how confidently you were told it is available inUK?

Nope not available on Ulitmate even with Tech pack. I picked mine up last week expecting it to have auto unlocking, as per the demo I tried and the dealer still has with it on, but no. Although the mirrors unfold when I walk up to the car with my key on me, the doors need to have a firm press on the handle to unlock the door, then press the handle in to 'pop it out' then pull on the handle to open the door. What a loads of b*ll*x and what earthly use are the mirrors popping out if you can't get in the car? I've raised a complaint with both the dealer (who thought my car had it as their demo does but are now saying to Hyundai they knew it didn't) and Hyundai who say take it up with the dealer. The last seven cars I've had, including my van!!, have comfort locking which require the merest touch on the door handle to lock or unlock the car as you pull the handle to open the door in one easy movement, I now have three movements just to get in, it feels like I've gone back to the 20th century every time i get in the car, definitely spoils it for me and not what I wanted on a £51k car. Come back BMW i3, all is forgiven.

Hyundai should not put demos out with kit not fitted to the car and then not keep dealers informed, or have such poor dealers they don't even know.

I was expecting the touch sensitive handles and am annoyed that I have a rather expensive car with handles that are less functional than any vehicle I have traveled in.
