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 

[Dazzler]

That is a good idea (thanks for that info i30premy)

Yes correct possibly

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

^-- great post Alan - thanks 

I copied your informative entry to the Tips & Tricks section so it doesn't get buried

[TazManiac]

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.
