1. OVERVIEW
The SKM (Smart Key Module) system is equipped to only the vehicles with smart key and is to prevent
theft and enhance the driver experience. When the driver presses a door handle switch carrying a smart
key, this system checks the smart key information and driver door status and locks/unlocks the doors
(passive function). The vehicle can be started when the driver enters the vehicle and presses the
START/STOP switch (passive start function).
