The new Blue Link feature (http://www.shafferhyundai.com/BlueLink?cs:a:i=hyundai_nav_BlueLink), introduced by Hyundai, signals a whole new era in the integration of the automobile with cutting-edge technology.

BlueLink brings advanced, breakthrough applications that enhance safety, and keep drivers connected. Blue Link is informative, helpful, and fun. The folks at Shaffer Hyundai in Merrillville, Indiana, are proud to offer Hyundai vehicles with the new BlueLink systems and they have set up a page with answers to Frequently Asked Questions on their website to help consumers learn all they can about this exciting new technology.

Basically, drivers will be able to connect to Blue Link via Smartphone, In-Car, or Web Applications. Once connected drivers instantly have access to a wide range of terrific features, such as:

■ Hands-free texting
■ Location sharing
■ Navigation, with traffic updates

Another exceptional feature is the SOS Emergency Assistance service, which automatically notifies emergency services with your exact location in the event of a collision.

The navigation system can inform drivers of shortcuts, points of interest, gas stations (along with what they are charging per gallon), as well as restaurants (including reviews of the service and food offered).

Blue Link also keeps track of how the engine is performing. In case of an issue the system will alert the driver, diagnose the problem, and even schedule a service appointment.
