The key code number is stamped on the bar code tag attached to the
key set. Should you
lose your keys, this
number will enable an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer to duplicate the keys
easily. Remove the bar code tag and
store it in a safe place. Also, record the
code number and keep it in a safe place
(not in the vehicle).

KEYS
WARNING- Ignition key
Leaving children unattended in a
vehicle with the ignition key is dan-
gerous even if the key is not in the
ignition switch. Children copy
adults and they could place the key
in the ignition switch. The ignition
key would enable children to oper-
ate power windows or other con-
trols, or even make the vehicle
move, which could result in serious
bodily injury or even death. Never
leave the keys in your vehicle with
unsupervised children.
WARNING
Use only HYUNDAI original parts
for the ignition key in your vehicle.
If an aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return to
ON after START. If this happens, the
starter will continue to operate
causing damage to the starter
motor and possible fire due to
excessive current in the wiring.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if the ignition
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 activate the immobilizer system, turn
the ignition key to the OFF position. The
immobilizer system activates automati-
cally. Without a valid ignition key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer system,
insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
✽✽
NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys nearby.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately. ✽
✽
NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your vehi-
cle, do not leave spare keys any-
where in your vehicle. Your immobi-
lizer password is a customer unique
password and should be kept confi-
dential. Do not leave this number
anywhere in your vehicle.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition key is an important part of theimmobilizer system. It is designedto give years of trouble-free service,
however you should avoid expo-sure to moisture, static electricity and rough handling. Immobilizer
system malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near the ignition switch. The engine may
not start because the metal acces- sories may interrupt the transpondersignal from transmitting normally.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust the
immobilizer system because it could cause the immobilizer sys-
tem to malfunction and should onlybe serviced by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improperalterations, adjustments or modifi-cations to the immobilizer systemare not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer warranty.
