I just bought a new Sonata and I noticed that when I park the car in the garage (and leave the doors unlocked),there is a little red pulsing light on top of the dash. I'm not sure what the purpose of this light is.
Thanks

 

If it like our '06 Sonata, it comes on whenever the key is off, whether the doors are locked or not. Seems to be sort of an alarm status indicator, whether you have the alarm system or not. Good camoflauge.

 

Thanks dsgrntldPW . Thats good to know.
I'm just learning the ins and outs of this car.
Can I ask one other question.
Am I correct in saying, to lock the four doors of the car requires one push of the key fob button?
(with previous cars it was 2 pushes with the second having a horn beep).
Thanks again

 

With our '06 one push of the button on the key FOB locks ALL the doors, and flashes the lights. A second push will beep the horn and flash the lights again, but does nothing additional to the doors. For unlocking, one push on the FOB unlocks drivers door, second push unlocks passenger doors. I had the dealer set the door locks to engage automatically when the car reached around 15 mph., but newer models may have this as a standard feature.

 

Did your Sonata come with an owners manual?

 

thanks again,
I appreciate your time.

 

Lol !....yes its about the size of War And Peace !
I'm up to about 1/3 of the book and since I found this terrific forum I thought I would ask the questions ( I believe this is what they are for ?).
I'm pleased to see that there are several helpful folk like dsgrntldPW.
Once I finish the book and become more familiar with the vehicle,maybe I can help someone.
