Trailer Electrics Compatibility
When a towbar is installed on the Hyundai IONIQ EV, a compatible electrical interface is required for safe operation of bicycle carrier lighting. The vehicle’s electrical systems need to support activation of brake lights, indicators, and, if equipped, rear fog lights on the accessory. Modern vehicle electronics often require correct coding for the electrical system to detect the connected load and manage warning systems or deactivation of specific lighting functions.

- System integration for trailer detection and rear-vehicle warning lights, relevant for bike carriers.
