Hazard flasher switch control ▶
When pressing the hazard flasher switch, the left/right turn signal lamps blink with the intervals of 400 ms
ON/400 ms OFF for 75/min and the interior buzzer sounds with same interval.
When pressing the hazard flasher switch again during its operation, the turn signal lamps and horn stop
the operation.
This function is available if the battery is connected (B+).
If the turn signal lamp is defective during its operation, the left turn signal lamp blinks with the interval of
300 ms ON/300 ms OFF (100/min) and the interior buzzer sounds with same interval.
The tolerance between left turn signal lamp and right turn signal lamp should be below 100 ms.
The hazard flasher has a priority over the turn signal lamp.
Priority of hazard flasher is as follows:
Seat belt reminder > Key reminder > Sunroof > Tail lamp > Hazard flasher > Turn signal lamp 1.

Auto hazard flasher control ▶
When the auto hazard flasher is operated for 0.1~0.59 seconds, the hazard flasher indicator blinks 3
times.
When the auto hazard flasher is operated for more than 0.6 seconds, the hazard flasher indicator
blinks 10 times.
The hazard flasher has priority over the auto hazard flasher and both have the same flash frequency.
This function is only available when the ignition key is in the "ON" position.
When the ignition switch is turned to OFF position during its operation, the auto hazard flasher stops
the operation.
The hazard flasher stops operation as soon as the signal is received from the turn signal lamp (hazard
flasher) switch during this operation.
If the turn signal lamp switch is turned on, the auto hazard flasher does not operate even though its
signal is received. 1.

3) Operation of Immobilizer
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position with REKES key, the BCM checks the crypto code
of the inserted key using the immobilizer antenna and sends whether the engine is startable or not to the
engine ECU through the CAN communication so that the engine can be started.
BCM
REKES key
Immobilizer antenna
ECUCAN line
For the vehicle with the immobilizer, there can be a problem in starting the vehicle or the system error:
When two or more immobilizer keys come into contact with (each) other(s).
When the key is close to any device sending or receiving electromagnetic fields or waves other
than Ssangyong products.
When the key is close to any electronic or electric devices such as lighting equipment, security keys
or security cards.
When the key is close to a magnetic or metal object or a battery. -

Do not drop or shock to the transponder in the key as it may be damaged.
With a damaged transponder, the engine cannot be started.
When you erase the code or register an extra key, please attend on the site.
In any cases, the immobilizer system can not be removed from the vehicle. If you attempt to
remove it and damage the system, starting will be impossible, so never attempt to remove, damage
or modify it.
The remote engine starter cannot be installed to the vehicle equipped with the immobilizer system. -

(2) Ignition status change
The ignition status is changed to OFF, ACC ON, IGN ON and engine cranking by one START/STOP
button.
The SKM cuts the power for IGN2 and ACC relays while the engine is cranking as cutting the electric
load is necessary.
The SKM monitors the brake pedal status through the hardware signals.
The ignition status change is available when the engine START/STOP button is pressed.
The SKM uses the EMS (engine condition) and ABS/ESP (FR vehicle speed) signals sent through the
P-CAN bus (High Speed CAN).
When the smart key battery is discharged and the driver inserts the smart key into the immobilizer slot
in emergency mode, the smart key verification is performed if the brake or START switch is pressed
before the ignition status is changed (ACC ON, IGN ON).

When the engine START/STOP switch is pressed for 3 sec. or more at more than 3 km/h, the
ignition status is changed from IGN to ACC.
If the engine START/STOP switch is pressed again, the ignition status is changed from ACC to
IGN.
The 4 vehicle speeds are abnormal (CAN signal timeout, abnormal signal):
If the engine START/STOP switch is pressed for 3 sec., the ignition status is changed from IGN
to ACC. If the switch is pressed again, the ignition status is changed from ACC to OFF (DTC
set). -

(4) Smart key battery discharge warning (3) Smart key verification fail warning
When the verification is requested for ignition status change or engine starting and no verified smart key
is in the vehicle, the SKM sends the [smart key verification status] signal, which indicates that the
verification has failed, for up to 10 sec. until the verification fail conditions are deactivated.
Verification fail detection and transmission conditions ▶
When the ignition status is changed after a smart key is verified by the START switch ON input, the
SKM sends the verification status for 10 sec. -Normally, the smart key verification warning is one of the smart key fail conditions. -
Ignition status change
(OFF ->ACC) / (OFF ->IGN)/(ACC ->IGN) / (IGN -> engine ON) *
If above conditions are met again, the SKM re-verifies a smart key and sends the verification status for
another 10 sec.
When the ignition status is changed by the transponder verification while the smart key status is sent
through the BCAN, the SKM sends the smart key verification signal and also sends the transponder
verification signal for 10 sec. -
-
If low smart key battery is detected during the verification process for ignition status change or engine
start, the SKM sends the signal for [smart key battery low voltage warning] to the BCM and instrument
cluster through the BCAN for up to 10 sec. until the warning condition is deactivated.
Smart key battery discharge confirmation and deactivation ▶
If the smart key battery low voltage is confirmed, the SKM sends the smart key battery low voltage
warning signal.
If the smart key battery is in normal condition, the SKM sends the smart key battery low voltage
warning deactivation signal.
The smart key is the last used key. -

(5) Transponder verification fail warning
If a verified smart key is not found by the key verification process, the SKM sends the information that
indicates the key is not verified to the instrument cluster through the BCAN for up to 10 sec. until the
verification fail condition is deactivated.
The SKM sends the transponder verification warning when the verification has failed with the smart key
inserted into the immobilizer holder. -
Transponder verification fail detection and transmission conditions ▶
When the ignition status is changed after the transponder is verified by the START switch ON input,
the SKM sends the transponder verification status for 10 sec. -
