Title: HALO (Hyundai Active Locking Operation)
Post by: Thumper on June 10, 2008, 04:17:50
After enjoying this system with the two Trajet's I owned before, I was disappointed that the system had been 'switched' off on the i30.

A quick call to dealer I purchased the vehicle from confirmed that at it's next service, the HALO system will be programmed to be turned back on.

What does this system do?

It locks all doors when driving above a certain speed, then unlocks the doors once you take the keys out of the ignition. (It also unlocks the doors when the vehicle is involved in an accident or when the airbags have been deployed, also turning on the emergency flashers.)

The system can also provide 'deadlocking' for all the doors. (Unlocked on the inside, locked on the outside)

The HALO system is perfect for those who drive mainly in the city. (No more snatch-and-grabs at traffic lights)

I wonder what else can be programmed!  ;)

it should be switched on as standard?? It's advertised in their brochure like that (indeed it mentions it can be disabled) and my i30 came with it enabled

Mine came switched on.

Activates when I reach 15mph (20kph?)

Deadlocks work a treat.
I locked car with remote whilst sat inside, key out of ignition,  and couldn't open locks by moving swivel bit.
Needed to press unlock on remote to unlock.

Hmm, maybe because mine was a demo that it was switched off?

As I was on the blower to my dealer today (about my missing 2nd keyfob) I asked him about activating the HALO and he didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Once I described it he said "oh, you mean the 'speedlock' system?".

I prefer "HALO" to be honest, and I quite like the idea of the deadlocking it provides, so they said they'd do it for me (once they'd figured out how to) when I get my new fob reprogrammed, should that day EVER arrive  :(

Mine was on when I bought it
Told iot was set on as default from the factory.

Mine activates at 15 mph and I'd like to change to say 25/30 MPH.

Dealer said there are 2 settings and would change when it in for service in Sept.

Like Shambles still waiting for 2nd key.  I believe it's now in the UK but where is it???.

Hmmm - I can't be ar*ed to unlock the doors every time I get out of the car, so my HALO stays off - I can easily lock the doors if I feel unsafe - and I do sometimes (like when I've just upset someone at a junction, for example  8-)

How Halo is operating.  I thought it was at delivery, but once they set it at a service, it behaved differently.

Before, it would lock at 40km but we had to unlock rear doors when we stopped the car.  Both front doors could beopened without unlocking when we had stopped.

After, it locked as before, and both front doors could be opened without unlocking, even with the engine running.  However, once setup we had the added function of all doors unlocking once the engine was stopped and the key was removed from the ignition.

In other words, there was no need to unlock the doors once we stopped and the driver removed the key.

Also, I've tried manually unlocking doors while driving - they all relock immediately.  Incidently, the driver and the front passenger can open their doors while driving at speed.  Haven't attempted to test the unlocking function after an accident - has anyone tried it out yet?  :shock:

Had the HALO system activated at my last service (15k)

All I can say is, something is amiss with the programming.

TWICE now the keys have been locked in the vehicle, whilst it has been running!  :o   (I drive to work, hop out at my work and change seats with the wife so she can continue to her work, where it's parked undercover. As we both hop out, close the doors cause it's cold, go to open the drivers door, it's locked. All doors are locked!)

This has happened twice now. Both times nothing else was running (No lights, no stereo, no mobile phones near the vehicle)

Upon hooking the Scanguage to the ECU, I have noticed the digital speed readout to 'jump' whilst the vehicle is stationary. Maybe a faulty speed sensor?

My doors do not unlock when I turn the engine off and remove the key from the ignition.

Might have to take it back and get it re-programmed.

Not impressed.

Hi Thumper,

I was thinking of getting Halo switched on at my 15K service but not so sure now... :?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !  :evil:

I wrote a reply to Thumper and posted it and the whole thing just vanished.  Got a white screen and my info was lost.

Anyway Thumper,

Re the doors locking.  You'd be up sh** creek without a paddle if you never had a second key.  Something ain't right with the system.  Perhaps it's the speed sensor (although checking the ScanGuage in another car might be a good idea).  I've just asked the wife and we are both 99% certain we have closed both doors with the engine running when we swapped drivers (our girls were in the back seat and could have got us out of trouble).  The doors didn't lock for us in this situation.

If this message disappears into oblivion, I'm giving up!

I still have the HALO on my car but intend to have it disabled at next service.
I think it is a good security feature and good safety feature if you have toddlers, but my kids are a bit older now and i find that its just a bit of a pain in the backside.

I'll be going in for my 30,000km service soon, and will ask about the programming then.

Until that happens, I carry the second key (Useless valet key) around with me.

I had the HALO disabled today.  I spoke to my dealer about doing it at next service, they said just pop in when you're in the area as it would only take a minute or two. Done, no charge.  :D

Cool Eyma. I'm keen on seeing it work before I'll decide to disable it though.  After reading all the good things about the i30, the waiting time is killing me, but not too long now

I want to open this tread again...

I've followed this thread about door locks.  I was worried that rear seat passengers could not alight while the engine was running after stopping.  Seems that they can if they manually flip the lock open first, whereas the front passenger need only pull the handle and does not need to flip the lock lever open first.

Why are front and back passengers handled differently?  Seems crazy!  The obvious(?) option is that all doors can be opened from the inside regardless of their locked state.

None of this has to do with child locks which seem to be an mechanical interlock.

Maybe it does? The front doors don't have the child lock, so open with handle opening. The back doors the lock needs to be separated from the handle so that the child lock can disable the handle but not the lock (or is it the lock not the handle? Either way - maybe they need to be separated so that the child lock mechanics can function).

Just to throw my experience in...

I've got a SLX CRDi Manual Oct 08 build, HALO was NOT enabled when I picked up the car. I am debating whether to have it enabled when I put the car in for first service next week.

Halo also disabled here.  I had it enabled at the 1000K check.  Will probably have it disabled again at the next service - don't really trust it not to lock my keys in the car.

Mines also not activated, picked it up a week ago.

One big question I have wrt to the crash unlock feature is say the car is parked, locked, engine off at the shopping centre, some muppet hits the car with a trolley or their car, will the system register this as a crash? Therefore unlocking the vehicle and allowing anyone to jump in a drive away?

My Dad was telling me about this sort of thing happeneing to some high end Lexus luxury 4wd.

All a thief had to do was give the vehicle a good whack in the right place, car unlocks and they drive away with a slightly superficially damaged luxury car.

If this is the case people might want to reconsider this option.

If Hyundai is smart, they would make it so that if a crash eventuated to unlock the car, the engine would cut and fuel lines would seal themselves until manually overridden. This would solve your problem and increase safety in the event of a heavy smash also.

Think the risk is very low Daniel... Mostly only owners would know about the feature which probably less than 50% of i30 owners have switched on...

In the early days of SRS systems (Airbags) they were active all the time. Thus, if you parked the vehicle, locked it, walked away, all someone needed to do is hit the bumper, set the airbags off, the doors auto unlock, they jump in and off they go.

You'll find that manufactures wisened up to this very quickly, that is why the SRS system is NOT active when the engine is off and the keys are out of the ignition. (Also the SRS system knows when you are not sitting in the vehicle, via the seatbelt sensors)

If you are unfortunate to be in an accident, with locked doors, if the airbags are set off, the doors will auto unlock. (If it's a serious enough crash, they'll just use the 'Jaws of Life' and open the vehicle just like a tin can)

I know this topic is old news, but for those of you who were wondering, it is left OFF from the factory, and it is supposed to be part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection to turn it ON.

Most dealers don't turn it on, much to the irritation of Hyundai. They want it on because they advertise it as one of the car's safety features. I found that most people would come straight back in and ask to have it turned off, so I stopped my guys from turning it on at PD. Nobody complained about that (except Hyundai :wink:).

I certainly have it turned off in my car, it drives me nuts.  :evil:

In UK this was initially ON when delivered.
But, I think, since late 2008 it is now OFF on delivery and the dealer activates it on request.

hehe not that I'm aware of with i30s, the biggest thing most people don't realise is that they frequently have old software in their vehicles. But even when you get the most up-to-date stuff it's usually pretty hard to tell the difference.  :neutral:

Lots of cars do have special modes and stuff which can be fun to play with, but as far as I'm aware HALO is about the only thing you can turn on and off with the GDS on an i30. awww...  :wink:

If there is no such wire, this can be simulated by finding a wire that is live (12 volts) all the time (to run the logic and LED) and then detecting a wire that goes live (12 volts) when the ignition is on, and zero volts when the ignition is off (such as the cig. lighter/aux power) to then light the LED only when the detected wire is zero volts.

Ignition on = LED off
Ignition off = LED on

A bit of extra logic to pulse the light or use a flashing LED and you're done.

Something like a 555 could be used to detect the 12/0 volt transition and also be used for the pulsed output but it could be much simpler if you know how... maybe someone else can help.

However this will not really indicate the state of the alarm system but merely whether the ignition is on or off.

My house has an empty box with a blue light mounted visible to the street and I've not been burgled for 20 years  :)
I might regret saying that  :'(
Title: Re: HALO (Hyundai Active Locking Operation)
Post by: Shambles on February 19, 2009, 17:02:57
Thanks Pip. The self-contained blue LED has a flashing circuit built in so I don't need a timer chip. However your suggestion should work fine of coupling it up to +ve permanent, and +ve when accessories are on.

As you said it would be better to get to the line that indicates the alarm is armed, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks mate

I've wondered about why there is no light for the alarm too, it's a bit of an oversight.

I can't think of a wire that would meet the conditions you want, I would suggest something like what Pip has suggested. That sounds like a good idea.

When the ignition is off, the BCM pretty much kills the whole electrical system to save power. Sorry... :o)

I can't say for certain, but surely the HALO system would know the difference between a car being crashed into when it is parked (and locked manually) and a crash that happens when the car has HALO activated through the 40kph when travelling.

What do you think?

My HALO activates at 15 mph not 40.

Mine only locks if the car has been locked and then unlock it but do not open any door.  
It auto locks after 1 minute.  
Never had it auto lock on me after I have got out, with or without the key in the ignition.

Hi,

I don't have a problem with it apart from the single most annoying exception being that when I stop (after the HALO has activated and locked all the doors - thank you... goodness) the back seat passengers then cannot get out without first manually unlocking the door at the door itself (not ideal, particularly as my rear passengers are most often unfamiliar with the car) or else I unlock them by either turning off the ignition or pressing the "unlock" button at the driver's door armrest.

Why-oh-why cannot the rear doors be opened by simply using the inside door handle in the same way the front doors can?

They behave as though the child locks were activated when they are not... STUPID!!! STUPID!!! STUPID!!!

I'm going to have HALO disabled at my next service which will remove an otherwise excellent feature.

okay, my problem MAY be related to the topic so i wont open new thread

here's the thing,
I do not yet know for sure if my Halo is activated. Haven't noticed (heard) autolocking at any speed (i even sometimes locked the doors manualy for safety so im quite sure that i didnt hear the same sound activate itself at any time)
So here is the probelm. When the car is stoped, keys IN&OUT of the ignition the rear door wont open from inside at all!! I get out of the car, and only then i can open the door for the back passenger!
Tried to lock from the remote, then unlock again and try to open-nothing.
It drowe me crazy the other day when i poped in the back to check something and found myself locked in. Than had to jump over to the front seat just to let myself out.
What bugs me is that i only noticed this yesterday and it was fine before. Could i have done something that altered the system?
Anyone had similar problems?
Im going on service for aligning the headlights tuesday so i wiil definitely ask about this, but anyway i'd like as much information as i can get from you guys

Cheers, Srdjan  :>

If the HALO system is active & locks the doors you will definitely notice it. It works the same way as if you'd press the door lock button yourself in that there is a load "clunk" as the doors lock & the internal door locks engage (it the buttons all snap closed). Sounds like yours isn't turned on.

So here is the probelm. When the car is stoped, keys IN&OUT of the ignition the rear door wont open from inside at all!! I get out of the car, and only then i can open the door for the back passenger!

Sounds like someone has flicked the child lock switch. You'll find it in the door sill on the door itself. You have to open the door to see it.

Look in the vicinity of the door catch... on the door itself - bend down to find it.  There will be a little mechanical "switch".  It's too cold to have a look myself to be more specific but you should find it from that.

They are designed to do just what you found... kids cannot open an unlocked door from inside but an adult can from outside.  Absolutely nothing to do with HALO.

Glad I could help. I only know where it is because my 2 youngest kids (11 & 7) take great joy in locking each others child lock without the other knowing until they go to open the door.

This so called HALO device is fitted to a lot of European cars and just the other day there was a JAGUAR up here in the hunter valley that was being driven by an amateur rally driver who lost control on a dirt road in a vineyard rolled it and slid into a dam luckily for those inside where it went in was not deep enough to submerge the whole car and they had a 200mm pocket of air to breathe in. Also lucky that the vineyard owner was nearby ,but was unable to get the doors open because the doors had automatically locked . As the keys were underwater the driver understandably was probably more worried about finding air to breathe than taking the keys from the ignition. As the car slipped slowly into deeper water the vineyard owner was able to hook up the JAG to his tractor and pull it out of the dam now slightly longer [the JAG] than the specs state. The driver and his passenger survived but the breath test proved a little more expensive the Jag may be a wreck but he doesn't have a license to drive it now anyway. Good invention or not? You be the judge. :lol:

HALO is designed to auto unlock in the event of an accident to prevent exactly this situation.

In this case you also have the water pressure acting against you to make it almost impossible to open the doors until the car is completely full of water. That equalises the pressure & the doors will open easily (saw it on Mythbusters).

I quite like this feature.

I usually open the doors for passengers getting in using the lock/unlock button on the drivers door arm rest... Is that button standard on all models?

It locks all doors when driving above a certain speed, then unlocks the doors once you take the keys out of the ignition. (It also unlocks the doors when the vehicle is involved in an accident or when the airbags have been deployed, also turning on the emergency flashers.)

The system can also provide 'deadlocking' for all the doors. (Unlocked on the inside, locked on the outside)

The HALO system is perfect for those who drive mainly in the city. (No more snatch-and-grabs at traffic lights)

I had my i30 serviced for the first time last week. HALO wasn't switched on. I only picked up on it reading about it here.

So, I asked the service people why it wasn't enabled. Apparently the sales people told them to deactivate it during pre-delivery as "customers don't like it".

I'm not sure if this is bullshit or not because this is an advertised feature and a good one at that. Why would customers NOT like it?

Anyway, they enabled it for me. I also instructed them to enable anything else that they had disabled prior to me picking the car up when I bought it. But it looks like only HALO was switched off.

Hi, Have been informed by sales chap that the HALO in the new GD's is programable by owner via buttons on the steering wheel.
Options are: @ 20kph - when drive is engaged ~ or off completely.

Will need to have a play when we get our i30 premy next week  :happydance:

Yes correct possibly

On my new Active I can personally program the HALO to be OFF or ON.

I'm glad to hear this is an option on the i30. Our santa fe has exactly the same feature and I thought they had forgotten about it for the i30. I will be having it enabled at my first service next week. Thanks guys.

This facility is only available on the NEW style i30's and not the original models, which still has to be done by the dealer.
