Get the IRVM checked by your dealership, it should move vertically as well. Congratulations on your car! Looks gorgeous in white clap:.

Thanks for clarifying about the auto dimming part. I saw some YouTube video where people toggled the dimming feature with a button on the IRVM of some other Hyundai Car (think it was the Creta). I could only find SOS, Tow and bluelink buttons on the IRVM, hence got confused.

We also own a Verna at home and I can relate to what you're expressing. Even I've felt that the vertical motion has little higher resistance than horizontal motion. But, I can confirm that they do move vertically, albeit with application of more force than what's needed in other cars.

I would still recommend you to try doing it safely using both your hands on the two ends of the IRVM. Try it slowly and if you feel it's still tight, get it checked during your next service.

Congrats on your new purchase. Enjoy the new ride and wishing you tons of memorable drives! clap:

The button you're reffering is used to switch on/off the dimming function of the IRVM. This button was present in the old Creta and Verna. However, with the connected car features incorporated in the newer Hyundai models, this button is repalced by the SOS, Blue Link and Tow button as you mentioned.

Hence, now there's no button to manually switch off the dimming feature (which you'll never need too).

Since, yours is a SX(O) model, it does come with auto-dimming IRVM.

Thanks for your kind words and the informative post. It just so happened that I tried moving it vertically again today, albeit by applying force on the area behind the IRVM (near the hinge connecting it to the top) and using both the hands this time around, as you mentioned in your post and viola! It moved. Was just about to post an update and point out my stupidity.lol: I do agree that it does take quite a bit more force and technique than my old Chevy Spark. Thanks again for helping me out :D

Guys, I would like to know if the TPMS on the Verna is direct or indirect. Couldn't find it in the manual. I got curious when I saw the the TPMS show 39 PSI when we supposedly filled 35 PSI. I have read about the importance of calibration of manometers as well as the inaccuracies of an indirect TPMS on this very forum (thanks to knowledgeable TBHPians for sharing their insight). I've not ruled out the incorrect calibration of a direct TPMS either. Any inputs about the same will be appreciated.

In my opinion, an indirect (passive) TPMS does not show the Tyre pressure. Instead, an indirect TPMS uses ABS sensors to see if the rolling resistance in any one tire has increased (lower the pressure = flatter tyres = higher contact area = higher resistance)
And shows warning for the tyre in case of a leak. But it does not measure the tyre pressure. A direct (Active) TPMS uses pressure sensors specially installed for TPMS. These show the tyre pressure in each tyre and those sensors detect a falling air pressure directly and warn you.

In short, if you have the PSI displayed, like 35/39. Then you’re using an active TPMS.
If your car (like my Skoda) doesn’t show tyre pressures but alerts you only in case of a leak, then you’re using passive TPMS.

Also, buy a Tyre pressure gauge with a bleeder valve from Amazon. I personally use the one made by Karter. Tyre shops sometimes have screwed up equipment. Last week i asked a puncture guy to fill 33 PSI after fixing a leak, he filled 40 PSI (which his instrument showed as 33 PSI. This caused my Passive/indirect TPMS to go crazy. And when i checked it myself. I had to bleed out the tyre to 33 PSI.

Buy a good quality air compressor. I usually fill up all my tyres every week myself. :Cheering:

feel free to reach out for any help!

Very informative. I've been thinking about an air compressor for this very reason. Seems like the primary suspect still is the equipment at petrol bunk. Thanks for extending your support, good sir :D

I’m not affiliated to these products in anyway but,
What I personally find working good for me, (after owning 2 good quality air compressors, not the cheap ones) the best one to go for is a brand named TUSA. You can find it on Amazon. As for a tire pressure gauge, it’s KARTER but, you can buy any with a bleed valve. Also if you’re pressure still comes up high, you can calibrate the TPMS on your next long drive but, i doubt this is the error. If the filling equipment was manual, not automated. There’s a high chance this is the reason.

Best of luck

And the competition from the City seems to have fizzled out pretty soon. One massively overpriced car, that.

I'm not really sure if this momentary fame can actually be attributed to Verna's own merits vis-à-vis the competition. The dip in sales is primarily being attributed to chip/semiconductor shortage according to this Rushlane article: https://www.rushlane.com/mid-size-se...-12398996.html

The staggering fall in sales is mainly attributed to the global shortage of semiconductor chips.

Now the question arises, why didn't the semiconductor shortage affect Hyundai then? According to GTO, some manufacturers, viz., Hyundai, Tata, Maruti accurately predicted that the market would recover post Covid and did not ask their vendors to significantly cut down on production. Other manufacturers who didn't expect such a quick recovery are likely suffering from the ill effects of their inaccurate predictions.

Typical of Hyundai, pushing flop models under dealers throat's at the end of financial year. The city is showing low dispatches due to production constraints at the factory due to the global semiconductor shortage. You can see on many threads about members writing that they have received waiting periods of 4-5 months even and about the reason for the delay. Now I don't know about you but a 5 month waiting period doesn't sound like a flop car to me!
