Hi all and welcome!
This topic will be collection of all tips & tricks for daily usage of our beloved i10's. Things such as: how do I achieve this, or 'is that possible too'?
To avoid double postings, this topic will only give short description of tips & tricks and will refer to more detailed forum topic (if such exists).
As there owners from different countries on this forum, we will fire off with explanation of models in different countries. As I am from Holland, I will start with Dutch official model names. Please send me names of the models of your countries and I will add them to this topic.
============================

============================
Before we start with tips & tricks themselves - please do post a reply in this topic if you want to add new tips & tricks and I will update this post. Don't be ashamed and stranger ;-)
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
My seat-belts are 'squeaky' - what can I do to fix it?"The answer is to prize off the black plastic part at the top of the seatbelt - comes apart quite easily. You'll see a spring inside which is the cause of the problem. Shove some grease in. Snap plastic cap back on. Problem sorted !" Thanx to Pebble!. See more info in
this topic.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
'Hidden' alarm!As it turns out, i10 comes on some models equipped with alarm although it is not clearly stated in specification. I believe that this applies only for the models with remote control (key) - central locking system.
To find out if you have alarm, do following:
Lock the car using remote control on your key. Leave it for a minute or two. Then, use key itself (not remote control) to unlock car and open door (or boot). If your i10 has alarm, it will now go off. If you don't have it - well, nothing will happen. Conclusion is that remote control (on the key) disables alarm as well. So, in case that your battery has died, you can still unlock your car, but it will trigger alarm. Some people say that alarm will go silent once car is started (couple of seconds after car is started). In any case, you can still use your car to go buy new battery for your key :-)
More info in
this topic.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Clock on my radio is automagically updated?Some radio stations are sending time updates through 'radio signal'. Once they do this (mostly every couple of minutes), your clock / radio will be automatically updated. I am not sure if there is an option on the radio to enable / disable this.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Auto lock downOn some models (I believe all models with central lock) have feature to 'auto lock' car in following case:
- You unlock the door with remote control (key), but you do not open any door / boot for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds car will 'lock down' itself. This is very useful feature in case that you step out, you lock the door and put keys in the pocket. Sometimes, remote control is accidentally pressed and car unlocks. But - if you simply walk away it will get locked itself.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
The sound of radio is quite bad. CD's are OK. Is my radio broken?Short answer - no, your radio is just fine. General conclusion is that due to the low price of the vehicle, some corners have been cut in production of the radio unit.
You can read
here and
here about some handy tricks to improve a quality of the signal reception.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Can I fit wind deflectors on my i10?Yes you can. How to do it - read
here. Thanx to TriBorG for sharing info with us ;-)
PS. What the **** are wind deflectors? See picture bellow:
[attachment=15739:i10_wind_deflector.jpg]
(note: picture is of hyundai Atos).
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
(How) can I install reverse (parking) sensors on my i10?A short description can be found here. Be aware, you have to be somewhat handy to do it yourself ;-)
See more info
here. Thanx to Limestone-cowboy.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
What are all those wires under my front seats? Can I cut them?Well, yes you can cut them -
but they serve one (or both) of two purposes:
- Airbag sensor which detects if seat is occupied. If it is not occupied, it will not engage airbag in case of collision;
- Power for the heating elements in the front seats.
So, better to leave them be. Note: as this has been said, make sure that there are no (heavy and / or sharp) thing loose on the (back) floor as these things may 'cut' those wires. Also be careful when cleaning the car.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Inside of my windows are condensed? Why...?Quite simple explanation - there is - somewhere water and / or damp in your car.
If you get to your car (and not get in) and it is condensed, then you have to search in your car for that damp. Check carpets, seats, spare wheel compartment, remove any wet clothes / umbrella's and such. Once found, make it dry

Quick fix (to get you on your way) is to turn A/C (if you have one) to max to 'blow' moisture off. But bare in mind - that moisture will get 'stuck' somewhere else.
More info can be found
here.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
How can I install remote central lock?If you bought car without it, read
here how to install one after market example. It is post #12 in that thread.
Thanx to misterg for nice and detailed explanation ;-)
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
I noticed that some water remains between door and bodywork. Is this normal?Seems that this is 'normal' behavior of i10. A couple of owners have same problem - but no solution yet.
Keep checking this
topic for updates.
Note: if in the winter water goes into ice, be careful opening doors not to brake something!
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Parcel shelf - is there a way to make it automatically fall down when boot is closed?Short answer: there is no yet a solution to make this automatically go down.
Tip 1: Place a paper on the under side of shelf stating to close it (make it red / yellow - attention catcher)

Tip 2: Have some object close to you, which with your hands will be long enough to 'reach' to the shelf from drivers seat to 'push' it down

See this
topic for more info.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Some of my mp3 CD's won't work?It has been noted that following issues may occur:
- When burning CD, make sure that you 'finalize' it. This means that once CD has been created (burned) it can not be written to anymore; it is known issue that unfinalized CD's won't work;
- Try using different burning software. Some just work differently and apparently on some software CD's won't play in i10 CD / mp3 player

If you have any other tips, please post them in
this topic.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
How can I replace standard speakers in my i10?User / owner Lars has already done it and made a detail instructions how to do it.

I have just ordered a scangauge, its has been mentioned in a couple of other threads.
the i10 is a very sensitive car and i would like to monitor what the engine is doing and how the pupils are using the throttle, hopefully with the others owners who have this device we can share our findings on how to get closer to the published mpg figures.
i think that the mpg, engine load and throttle position will be the first things i look at.

Hi - I ordered an i10 Classic three weeks ago (using an old Seat Arosa under the scrappage scheme) with an estimated delivery date on this week. Now after contacting the dealer, they're now claiming August at the earliest.
Anyone else in a similar situation? I'm a bit gutted and the dealer hasn't been much help (they didn't even contact us to let us know about the delay).

Would anyone know what is the stock spark plugs of i10 1.2 AT? Some owners in the Philippines are already in the 10k - 20k mark for PMS (maintenance), and almost all of them got their spark plugs in dealers which is way-way too expensive.
One owner bought a Bosch Super 4 spark plugs, but the dealer couldn't fit it, and we believed the 1.2 is using a non-standard spark plugs? Has anyone experienced this? And if ever, do you have other alternatives?
I am just thinking forward, if we can only buy it in a dealer, then it will be too expensive. We need to find an aftermarket part like NGK or something?
Thanks!
Louie from the Philippines

Just wondered if I have a brake pedal fault....I noticed this morning the pedal can be wobbled from side to side.
I noticed this because I had occasion to brake a bit swiftly and found my toe had caught on something hard and solid. When I parked up to check what it was, it just turned out to be a bracket at the top of the pedal's stem that anchors the return spring. But it was then that I discovered the noticable side to side movement in the pedal.
I don't what to be an alarmist/i10 hypochondiac by runnning to my dealer for the least complaint, so can other i10 owners please give me some feedback by wobbling their brake pedal from side to side and let me know if there is any movement. The answers if help me to either put my mind at rest or urge me to visit the dealer's workshop.

Silly question, but I am yet to hear/set off the car alarm on my Comfort.... I thought I read somewhere, that if the car has been locked by the remote, but the door opened by the key or the boot the alarm goes off??
Is this right, because if it is, mine dont?

I am getting quite irritated by the necessity of having to keep buckled up until I stop to get out.
If I release the seatbelt buckle before I stop, the dreaded chime sounds to remind me of what I have just done. It continues to remind me even once I have stopped and got out to open the garage door. And it WON'T stop until I either buckle back up again or turn the engine off or wait the 90 seconds for it to time out.
Does anyone know how I can disable this annoying safety feature?
Anyone else share my petty annoyance at this Hyundai attempt to save my life!

hi i10-ers.. i'll be getting my i10 1.2 Auto (oyster silver) soon... i'm looking to add some accessories to it both interior and exterior.... i've been scouring the web but the only decent one i could find located here
http://hyundai-i10.sgpetch.co.uk/pages/acc...y=ROOT-interiorsgpetch.co.uk sells separate accessories but if i can get 'protection pack' i'm guessing this will be cheaper compare to buying individual item...
i've read some fellow i10-ers that they could get decent price from their respective car dealer and i'm wondering if you are willing to share some info regarding this...
also check this out for modification
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-drives-...-km-update.html any thoughts?
members from other countries may also offer advise...

Hi all,
So I'm going to be fitting a new AVIC-F900BT stereo to my i10 soon. I've brought it 'cos I wanted to have my satnav, stereo and bluetooth all in one. Beautiful.
So, the installation manual wants me to do a couple of extra things I've not seen before... Namely:
1) Hook up a cable to the reversing light, so it knows you're in reverse (seems easy enough)
2) Hook up a cable to the handbrake sensor, so you don't try to use the satnav when in motion, or watch videos when in motion (slightly harder, but I think I know where to start looking)
3) Hook up a cable to the VSS system of the car, so it knows how fast I'm going, so if I loose GPS signal, it can carry on for a while. This seems like a very nifty feature. But also seems to be the hardest connection to make... I have *no idea* where to start looking for this.
VSS is described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_speed_sensorCan anyone help?

Having been running my I10 for the last couple of weeks on BP Ultimate (97) and getting about 47mpg I changed to Jets normal unleaded. After 2 tankfuls I noticed that my MPG was now down to 42-mpg. This is very disappointing. So I was wondering if everyone could post what MPG they are getting, the type of driving (city,open roads ect) I10 current milage type/brand of fuel used. This way we can see if some fuels suit the car better then others and indeed if the MPG improves with higher milage.
So for starters.
I10 Style 1.2
milage 1000 miles
Type of driving, open country back roads normal speed about 50mph. Journey 20 miles each direction.
Type of fuel used BP Ultimate (97 Ron) 47 mpg
Jet normal (95) 42 mpg
Air con has been used with both fuels. The weather has been very good.

the only course of action left open to me is to complain in writing to the MD of Hyundai UK (anyone have his name and address ??)
for all of those who find the mpg of the i10 and would like to be included in the complaint then please let me know. if you have a fuelly account it would help to have the data you have already collected. i feel that i have been sold this car using false claims about its fuel economy, many of the others on fuelly have evidence to support this.
so who is up for a mass complaint to hyundai?

Hyundai are aware that a NEW i10 clutch can shudder from cold if the car has not been used for a few days. However once warmed up it seems to return to normal. This may be less apparent as the clutch wears in. there is probably a alignment issue or even a driven plate quality issue here. Dealers will only recognize you have a problem once they have discussed this with Hyundai technical who will probably issue a bulletin soon.

Hi just wondering your thoughts on this
I have an i10 that I have had from new Pre Reg 58 Plate
The car has covered 13,000 miles and the clutch is starting to slip
I have noticed this at slow speeds on acceleration and also when driving on the m/way when accelerating
Now....the car has been and is used for Driving Tuition but in my 15 years of teaching I have Never had a clutch wear out on Any of my previous cars
Is the i10 clutch particularly weak?
Any idea what this is going to cost me to get fixed ?
Is it worth me having a moan or will they just say (Learners and clutches just don’t go together ) !!!!
I have Never let my pupils Ride the clutch even to the point of getting them to set the bite and then h/brake off then add the gas when they start to move so they do not rev the engine with the clutch set for long
Comments Please
Thanks

My i10 is about 6 months old now and this last week, button Nr-5 on the radio has stopped working. It isn't stuck or anything... but it doesn't give that positive click when you push it and it doesn't change the radio station (altho ch 5 sometimes shows on the display).
It gives a little beep and not much else happens. The other buttons are OK.
Anyone else heard of this ? Will it be covered by warranty ?

I’m not an owner yet but seriously considering the i10, for me it’s the high spec level of the models, 5 doors as standard across the range and the 5 year warranty being offered.
On the negative side, p/x value of my car has not been as high from the 2 Hyundai dealers approached to date compared to other manufacturers.
I’ve also looked at the following
- Fiat Panda
- Citroen C1
- Renaul t Twingo

Ive had my i10 for a few weeks.
After the initial thrill of getting it after almost 6 months, and
enjoying having a new car, I now feel its a bit noisy.
If I drive other than gently, there sems to be more noisy than I was expecting, although it runs very smooth.
Is this how it should be? are all i10's the same?

Hi all
I traded in my perfect classic under the happy returns scheme for a comfort. I got the car on Saturday, immediately discovered a strange noise, was too late in day to return to dealer, and rang the dealers this morning (closed on Sunday)
I am very wary of getting a car with a problem clutch - symptoms are a loud noise when pulling away initially, almost like a grinding or metallic noise. It appears to happen when reaching the bite poiint of the clutch so adding a bit of accelerator.
So my question is this - do I let the dealer look at the car and try to resolve, or does this sound like the start of the dreaded clutch problem showinig itself initially and which will get worse, in which case I probably ought to reject the car immediately.
I am looking to visit the dealer tomorrow, additional info is that the dealer is 30 miles away and so my capacity for back and forth trips within a short period is very limited due to work commitments.
Help and opinionts please please!

Anyone know of any good offers at the moment on the i10 I do have a part exchange but the 1 dealer I visited his offer was not that brilliant.
Offered £4500 against a new i10 Style and £5495 against a 1year old style 6K miles on the clock, that’s £1000 more if I go for the 1 year old......how can that be??
Fiat dealer offered £5200 P/x plus £500 discount against a new fiat panda 1.2 which I thought was a good offer.
I plan to visit more Hyundai dealers this week (Devon area) but if anyone could suggest any of their local dealers that they got a good p/x deal I would love to hear from you

I know there is another topic about the removal of the front headlamps, however I have a question about the brightness of the standard i10 bulbs.
I have noticed that driving along at night I have been struggling to see the roads sometimes. Both lamps are on, but they just dont seem bright.
Has anyone else noticed this? Can I get them changed under the warranty???

Can you guys with the Classic say if your wash/wipe sprays and then wipes? I have a colleague who's Classic spits but nothing more, and his dealer is unsure whether it should follow up this moistening activity with a wipe or two ...

Comfort and style models seem fine.

Can someone explain to me how to program the radio in the i10?
I looked in the manual but it doesn't tell you how to store radio channels under each numbe. At the moment Radio 1 is under number 3 and I want to change it to number 1, and store Radio 2 under No. 2.
If I press the Auto Setup button it jus flashes but is not doing anything. Can I seek for a channel and then store it unde a number?

Is it just me or does the low fuel warning light come on somewhat prematurely?
I have a fairly long commute so usually if the fuel warning light comes on in my car I fill up before driving home. Came on today before I had hit the motorway so took a detour to get cheap petrol to avoid paying unnecessarily over inflated fuel prices. When I was filling up I noticed that the pump cut out before it had filled 29 litres - following the advice of the manual I didn't try and force anymore in - like I would've done with my old micra.
The fuel gauge also wasn't showing as at '0' but having only had the car five days I didn't fancy chancing it and running out of fuel on the A1!
What do people think?

ok guys, I think it'd be useful for us to rate the service we got from our dealers, and give people advanced warning of goo / bad serivce.
our of 10, I give:
Consitution Motors (Norwich) 4/10
I had a pleasent test drive, but reluctant to seel me a red i10 as they are "as rare as hens teeth" and "you'll be lucky to see one before Spetember". Also only offered £2000 scrappage, when other dealers were doing £2100 and £2200. But did offer to throw in mudflaps - that I'd have to fit myself. Poor people skills.
Turners (Bury St Edmunds - also a branch in Ipswich) 6/10
Bit misleading over deliver time, but when I asked to speak to the manager, they did make an effor tot give me an accurate delivery date - which was very accurate in the end. Becasue of misleading information, I can't say if this was innocent or outright lies.
Handover was great, and got a call a week after to check all ok. If it wasn't for inital dissapointment ovet delivery dates, they'd have got 8/10. Would use again. Good peopel skills....communiccation issues with Hyundai possibly.

£5,145 !!!
Car details: HYUNDAI I10 HATCHBACK 1.2 Classic 5dr (2009 on)
Registration: OE09***
We paid £5365 and scrapped a '97 Rover 100.
I am suprised that they are willing to offer that much cash.
There is a fee of £50 payable to them when you sell.

This is to everyone who ordered an i10 before Christmas and then had to pay the extra VAT. How much did you have to pay in total? Thanks

Hi all,
I have been a proud owner of a champagne gold i10 with 1.1 engine for a month now. Just got around to browsing the manual recently and found a warning not to plug in anything into the "lighter plug"(not sure what it's called in English) other than the original Hyundai lighter. If I understand correctly it means that it is not a 12v outlet and I cannot use it to charge my GPS or bluetooth headset. Makes me wonder why it's there... Only for the purpose of lighting cigarettes ?!
Is there anyone here with the 1.1 engine, and do you use the lighter to charge some devices?

I've been trying to play MP3-CDs in my CD player but it keeps displaying READ ERROR. Audio CDs I've created work fine.
Anyone managed to play MP3-CDs? If you have, what brand CDR did you use?

Someone broke into my i10 last night. As I left my house for work this morning I saw the driver's door was slightly ajar and found the glove box had been rifled through. Nothing of value was in the car so the would-be thief left empty-handed. There was no damage to the door or the car and it was definitely locked when I left it on the driveway, so I'm just wondering how easy it is to break into a bog standard i10. Reported to Police and they said they'd had a number of break-ins in the area last night but didn't give details of other cars/thefts. Guessing a fob was used to open it. Anyone have any insight into this kind of thing? Just interested to learn if there's a finite number of combinations emitted by the fob that can be cloned and perhaps used with an app on an iPhone or other device, or if the i10s security is generally poor? Also worth noting I have a 04-plate Matrix too, which is alarmed as well as centrally-locked and this was untouched and parked by the i10.

[font="Comic Sans MS"][/font][size="2"][/size] Hi everyone.
New i10 front door cards, mounting point for locating screw next to electric window switch screw head showing is this correct or should there be a grommet to fill in the panel.
Cigarette lighter should it have illumination with either ignition or lights on.
Regards
Robsie

Hi Everyone
I have just ordered the bumper pack which includes sill guards, mud flaps, rear bumper protector and matts. Are these items easy to fit or would I be best getting the dealer to do it?
Thanks

Has anyone had their first service yet? I was called by Hyundai offering the 3 year service plan at a cost of £580ish.....I thought that this was a little on the high side.
Am going to call the dealer to check on the single price but was wondering what others have had.
Do you have to have you car serviced at Hyundai for the 5 year warranty?
