How frequently does the letter e appear in:
Hi All! Brand new to this forum. I just purchased a new Hybrid Ioniq Blue earlier this week and love it. Im sure Ill have many things to share as I learn more about the car.
One thing Ive noticed though is the liftgate button on my key FOB only unlocks my liftgate.
I pushed the button anticipating an automatic pop of the liftgate, but instead the lights flash twice and the liftgate unlocks silently.
Is this normal or should the liftgate pop open when I push that button like I had hoped?
Otherwise, the button seems useless as I could just as easily hit the unlock button on my FOB.
I have the Electric and can confirm it acts in the same way.
Press and hold to unlock just the liftgate, not the doors. Liftgate locks again automatically when closed.
have you tried holding the button for 3-5 seconds?
And thank you for confirming that my car is acting the way it should.
I guess I was just used to the auto pop trunk with my Sonata.
@bluecar1 I agree with you it is a safer alternative and worked like a charm the other day when I just wanted to access my liftgate.
Okay all, can you help me. I have an Ionic hybrid 2017. The hatch back closes really easy, but people like to slam it shut. 
Heres my question, how do I permanently lock the hatchback to keep everybody out of it, except me.
One scenario where the remote button comes in handy is if you have to unlock the hatch for someone else who needs to access it while youre some distance away. eg., Im in the house when my son needs to grab his soccer gear from the trunk.
The hatch locks with the other doors of the car. When you put the car in gear or set off (depending on your settings), all the doors, including the hatch, lock. They dont unlock again until you put the car back into park or shut off the car (depending on your settings).
I wouldnt call it undocumented, really. Its considered a door for all intents and purposes, because it provides access to the main cabin, rather than a separate compartment, like the boot of a traditional sedan/saloon car. Therefore, it both locks and unlocks with the passenger doors.
Keep it in drive, which locks out the boot.
