Features of your vehicle
Immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an electron-
ic engine immobilizer system to reduce
the risk of unauthorized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the smart key and
electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you turn the engine start/stop button to
the ON position by pressing the button
while carrying the smart key, it checks
and determines and verifies if the smart
key is valid or not.
If the key is determined to be valid, the
engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the engine start/stop button to the
ON position by pressing the button while
carrying the smart key.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the engine start/stop button to the
OFF position. The immobilizer system
activates automatically. Without a valid
smart key for your vehicle, the engine will
not start.
CAUTION
The smart key is designed to give
you years of trouble-free use,
however it can malfunction if
exposed to moisture or static
electricity. If you are unsure how
to use or replace the battery, con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
Using the wrong battery can
cause the smart key to malfunc-
tion. Be sure to use the correct
battery.
To avoid damaging the smart key,
don't drop it, get it wet, or expose
it to heat or sunlight.
An inappropriately disposed bat-
tery can be harmful to the envi-
ronment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to
your local law(s) or regulation.
CAUTION
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
Immobilizer password is a customer
unique password and should be
kept confidential. Do not leave this
number anywhere in your vehicle.

The transponder in your smart key
is an important part of the immobi-
lizer system. It is designed to give
years of trouble-free service, how-
ever you should avoid exposure to
moisture, static electricity, and
rough handling. Immobilizer sys-
tem malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the
immobilizer system because it
could cause the immobilizer sys-
tem to malfunction and should only

alterations, adjustments or modifi-
cations to the immobilizer system

expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance, it will
not be covered by your manufactur-
er’s vehicle warranty.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the smart key.
The engine may not start because
the metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from trans-
mitting normally.

2. With the engine off, check the genera-
tor drive belt for looseness or break-
age.

the engine start/stop button is turned
to the ON position, the indicator will
illuminate for a few seconds. However,
when the smart key is not in the vehi-
cle, if the engine start/stop button is
depressed, the indicator will blink for a

When the engine start/stop button is
turned to the ON position and the indi-
cator turns off after 2 seconds, the sys-
tem may need repair. Have the vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

start/stop button is depressed, the indi-
cator will blink and you will not be able
to start the hybrid system. However,
you may still be able to start the hybrid
system by inserting the smart key in
the smart key holder. If smart key sys-
tem related parts need repair, the indi-
cator blinks.
