![]() | “Pet Mode”
in my Ioniq 5 Mark D Larsen |
A few EVs have settings that allow owners to leave their pets safe and sound in the car, with climate control running, while they run into a store or visit the restroom. For example, Rivians have “Pet Mode” and Teslas have “Dog Mode.” Although the Ioniq 5 doesn’t have a similar setting, it is nonetheless possible to emulate such a function using “Utility Mode” —although it is a bit more cumbersome. I outlined the necessary steps toward the bottom of my Half-Year Anniversary post, but I thought I should also take a video of the process to help other users know how to enable this feature. Below is the video I have recorded. I hope it helps demonstrate how to keep your pets safe and sound in an Ioniq 5 when you’re not in the car and running errands.
NOTE: It is possible to enlarge the video by clicking its “full screen” button in the top left corner.
