Ummm. What trim level? On the Hybrid Limited, just touch either one of the front door handles to lock or unlock.

Yes, if you push the black button, it alternately locks/unlocks the vehicle - 1 beep means "locked", 2 beeps means "un-locked". All Canadian models have this black button on the door handle as we don't have door handles that support NFC key card in Canada....you push the black button to unlock all doors. I don' know if you can lock the doors with that button, I never tried it.
So I found the black button on the driver's door. Yesterday I pushed it, car lit up & sounded. I assumed it was locked but didn't try the handle, but then once reapproaching my car hours later it was unlocked. Today same thing but gave the handle a tug- it was locked! Went into a store back to car it was UNLOCKED, NO lights or sound so it didn't detect my fob...what in the world with this vehicle!?!?!?Yes, if you push the black button, it alternately locks/unlocks the vehicle - 1 beep means "locked", 2 beeps means "un-locked".

Wait ... what? How long have you had the car, and how many times have you driven it, without noticing there's a black button on the door handle?!So I found the black button on the driver's door.

Lol, I may have noticed the button before. Key fob is not accidentally getting activated, no sounds or lights.Wait ... what? How long have you had the car, and how many times have you driven it, without noticing there's a black button on the door handle?!j/k LOL
As for whether a press of that button causes a "lock" or "unlock", that's why I described the beeping in my previous post. One easy way to remember is, "Locked" has one syllable (one beep) and "unlocked" has two syllables (two beeps).
One last thought - any chance your key fob is being accidentally pressed, wherever you might be storing it (pocket, purse, etc)? I ask because this was happening to my BMW when it was new and it took a week before I realized the key fob buttons were so sensitive, it was being randomly activated while in my pocket. Ever since then, I always have it turned so the buttons are towards my leg (rather than the outside), and that solved it.
Hmm, in that case, I got nothin'. Maybe your husband/partner is playing tricks on you with the other key?!Lol, I may have noticed the button before. Key fob is not accidentally getting activated, no sounds or lights.
^ Actually.. when unlocking the vehicle with either the door handle button or the keyfob, the 2 beeps happen so quickly together that if you're not paying attention it sounds like just 1 beep. IMO, Hyundai need to revise the software to put a bigger pause between the 2 beeps.Yes, if you push the black button, it alternately locks/unlocks the vehicle - 1 beep means "locked", 2 beeps means "un-locked".

^ The driver's door and front passenger door will always open from the inside, even if the doors are "locked". Check for yourself. Note the rear doors will NOT open from the inside if the doors are locked.The other issue I see is that there is no mechanical way to unlock the doors from the inside. In the manual it says to try another door or open the window and open the door from the outside using the key, which is a clumsy process because you have to pry a plastic cover off to expose the keyhole. But what if it is an electrical failure? If the lock doesn't work, neither will the window. The ironic thing is that there is a manual release for the rear hatch if someone gets caught back there, but you could potentially be stuck in the passenger compartment with no way out.
No, I haven't yet mentioned this issue, because I don't know on the scale of issues where this ranks! So disappointed with this vehicle.Have you gone back to the dealer and talked to them about your questions and concerns?
I got my 2022 Tucson Limited last week. I also had a problem locking the car via door handle. However, my wife did not have any problem. After seeing this we realized the door handles sense your pulse just like a pulse oximeter (the device the nurse slips on your finger to get your pulse and oxygen level). After realizing this, I used a different finger, instead of my thumb which has thicker skin than other fingers, to touch the dimple on the door handle. It works EVERY time! I can now lock the door. It will be real interesting to see what happens with gloves on in the cold.2022 Tucson whatever package-"convenience "
There is absolutely NO way to lock the doors once out of the vehicle without using the key fob(which stays in my purse) or Bluelink app through my phone (also stays in my purse)? So my hands are full but I have to get back into my purse with my 3rd hand to lock the doors!!! Unbelievable whomever designed that. Issue #6 that I DISLIKE!
