There was a "owners manuals online" thread on the forum but the last post being April, 2020 no doubt things have happened since then. Does anybody know? My I5 arrives within a few weeks and I am eagerly looking for information (even if this forum is a already a goldmine, there is never too much).

Hi Folks, I've just taken delivery of my 2020 Plug-In Ioniq. It has the traditional Owner's Manual, but doesn't have the AVN Manual. (The main manual says on page 4-5 "Detailed information for the Navigation System is described in a separately supplied manual".)
Unfortunately I didn't know that there should be 2 manuals until I got home with the car. The main dealership says they can't get one, and Hyundai's UK Customer Service Centre can't trace it either.

Does anyone on these forums have access to one please?

It's online. If you go to the main menu on the screen and look for Manual there is a QR Code to access the manual for your region.

Hrrrm. I just downloaded the official Owner's Manual for the 2025 Ioniq 5 series*, and wow, it is a terrible piece of literature 😂. My list of gripes is growing as I read/search through it, but here's a starter:
  1. No photo. The Quick Reference guide and the Charging Guide both have photos of the car, but the lengthy Owner's Manual does not.
  2. There is nothing to indicate what model(s), trim(s), and/or year(s) this manual applies to, other than the filename (NE1a-2025-en_US-2C.pdf).
    1. Searching the document for "Ioniq" returns no results.
    2. Searching the document for "2025" returns no results.
    3. The ONE clue that this document might refer to the 2025 Ioniq 5 is that searching for "XRT" actually returns a few results, and the XRT didn't exist until model year 2025.
  3. The entire manual, even the Charging Your Vehicle section, omits any mention of either "NACS" or "J3400"
    1. It does mention CCS, but only as "You can use the CCS1 DC charging adapter if the DC charger installed at the public charging station is a CCS1 DC charger," but it never mentions what connector my car has.
* I'll link as soon as I'm allowed. edit: Links added! You might have to log into owners.hyundaiusa.com to download.

When I worked in product management, we purposely had non-techies write our PDF manuals. They didn't use jargon, didn't understand enough about how things work to go rambling on. And didn't use pictures or screenshots due to regional differences. Plus, hiring English majors was a whole lot cheaper than engineers, I mean where else can they find work, right?

Most documentation is written such that translations can be automated. So, write once in your native tongue, translate to each region the product is sold in. Ever wonder why the assembly directions from Chinese or Vietnamese products are so horrible? It's the translation software.

You never know how Ioniq may translate? Here is a little humorous reading on that line of thinking: 9 cars whose name translates badly (List) | GRR
