We gather that you can utilize Face Connect to enrich your average driving adventure. Upon detecting your face via face recognition, it matches it with your registered profile. You can register up to two faces. After it confirms your identity, it checks your saved preferences for the seat and steering position and adjusts them to your taste. This saves you the trouble of doing it yourself.

Also, it adjusts the Head-Up-Display (HUD), side mirrors, and infotainment settings according to your pre-saved settings. The system offers a Near Infra-Red (NIR) camera that retains optimum performance during any weather condition. So, you don’t have to worry when it gets dark or foggy because the system is prepared to foster easy entry and exit from the vehicle.

Although Face Connect accepts up to two faces for a vehicle, Genesis shows its innovative proficiency with a feature that lets you register new profiles effortlessly through a voice assistant. Worried about safety? The system encrypts registered faces, so it”s safe. Also, you can delete your profile any time you please.

You can unlock your car through face recognition and start the engine through fingerprint recognition.

The GV60 will also feature an OTA Software Update. This update applies to aspects of the infotainment system like navigation, digital cluster, Head-Up-Display and significant electronic devices like the electric vehicle integrated control device, brakes, suspension, steering wheel, and airbags.
