ty to your mobile phone, the signal
could be blocked by your mobile
phones normal operational signals.
This is especially important when the
phone is active such as making and
receiving calls, text messaging,
and/or sending/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the remote key and
your mobile phone in the same pants
or jacket pocket and always try to

Immobilizer system
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON position
again.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (i.e., key
chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you contact your
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer
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.
NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.

Theft-alarm system (For Brazil)
Intrusion/tilt sensor ON/OFF con-
dition (For Brazil, if equipped)
The intrusion/tilt sensor detects
movement inside the vehicle and
inclination of the vehicle after locking.
•To cancel the sensor operation,
press the sensor ON/OFF button
when the system is in the
"Disarmed" stage and the ignition
switch or Engine Star t/Stop button
is in the OFF position. The button
light will turn on to indicate that the
sensor is deactivated.
•If you press the button again or turn
the ignition switch or Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position,

If the system is armed when the sen-
sor is in the OFF status, the intru-
sion/tilt sensor will not operate. But,
the alarm will be activated when the
system meets the “intrusion/tilt sen-
sor off condition” of “Theft alarm”
stage. Refer to the follow page.
Deactivate the intrusion/tilt sensor
if there are any chances the vehicle
tilts by the outward influences.
For example,
-When the vehicle is transported by
train, boat or trailer.
-When the vehicle is parked at a
parking tower.
Otherwise, the horn may sound inad-
ver tently.
Information
•Make sure all windows are close
while the sensor operates. If not, the
sensor detects the inadvertent move-
ment inside the vehicle (for example,
blowing a wind or entering a butter-
fly) and it makes the horn sounds.
• If boxes are piled high in the vehicle,
the sensor may not detect the move-
ment behind the boxes. Also the
boxes may drop and it makes the
horn sounds.
• If the sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as cosmetics, spray type
air freshener, or spray type window
cleaner, the sensor may not operate
normally.
