Hyundai\u2019s Remote Smart Parking Assist feature is available on a wide range of models, including the Santa Fe SUV that Carter and Alex own<\/span>Credit: AFP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TikTok<\/a> users and couple Carter and Alex (@itscarterandalex<\/a>) have racked up more than 2.8 million views on a video showing how they got out of a tight spot, literally.<\/p>\n

The video opens up with Carter trying to get into the driver\u2019s seat of his Hyundai Santa Fe SUV<\/a>, finding himself unable to squeeze in thanks to a poor parking job from the driver whose car is in the neighboring spot.<\/p>\n

While some drivers may have thought to enter from the trunk and climb through the cabin or simply wait for the other car to leave, the couple had a different idea and decided to try a feature on their Santa Fe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After starting the car remotely, Carter is able to use the key fob to control the vehicle and have it pull straight out of the spot far enough that he can get in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n

This is thanks to Hyundai\u2019s Remote Smart Parking Assist<\/a> feature, an option on many of their vehicles which can prove invaluable in situations like this as Alex and Carter discovered for themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess Hyundai\u2019s can be useful,\u201d says Alex jokingly as the social media video ends, a sentiment commenters also agree with.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy 2025 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate<\/a> has it and I\u2019ve used it quite a few times because people don\u2019t know how to park their cars lol,\u201d commented one TikTok user.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch an amazing feature!!! I love your Hyundai. I just bought a Genesis G80 and it has that feature. Very impressive,\u201d added a second.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need this Hyundai<\/a> in South Africa,\u201d said a third.<\/p>\n

While not available on every car, it\u2019s one of the most invaluable features a vehicle can have of the many advanced driver assistance systems<\/a> that are on the market today.<\/p>\n
