2016 Hyundai Equus Owner's Manual

Loss of a Smart Key
Three Smart Keys can be registered
at maximum to a single vehicle,
including a Card-type Smart Key.
When you happen to lose your Smart
Key, you should immediately take the
vehicle and the remaining keys to
your authorized EQUUS dealer, or
tow the vehicle, if necessary.
Smart key precautions
The Smart Key will not operate,when any of the followings occurs:
- The Smart Key is close to radio transmitters such as a radio sta-
tion or an airport which may
interfere with normal operation
of the Smart Key.
- The Smart Key is near to a mobile two-way radio system or
a mobile phone.
- Another vehicle’s Smart Key is being operated close to your
vehicle.
When the Smart Key does not nor- mally operate, use the mechanical
key to lock/unlock a door and con-
tact an authorized EQUUS dealer.
When the Smart Key is in close proximity to a mobile phone, the
signal may be blocked by the nor-
mal signals of your mobile phone.
This is especially important when
the phone is active, such as mak-
ing/receiving calls, text messag-
ing, or sending/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the Smart Key and
your mobile phone in the same
pants or the jacket pocket. Always
try to maintain an adequate dis-
tance between the two devices.
Record your key number
The key code number is stamped or
printed on the code tag attached to
the key set. When you lose your
keys, this number will enable an
authorized EQUUS dealer to easily
duplicate the keys. Remove the key
code tag and store it in a safe place.
Also, record the key code number
and keep it in a safe and handy
place, but not inside the vehicle.
Immobilizer system
The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. When a key
of the wrong code (or other devices)
is used, the engine fuel system is
disabled. After turning ON the
Engine Start/Stop button, the
Immobilizer System briefly operates,
and then goes OFF. When the indica-
tor flashes, the system does not rec-
ognize the Smart Key code.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
to turn OFF, and then re-press the
Engine Start/Stop button to turn ON.
The system may not recognize your
Smart Key code, when another
immobilizer key or other metal object
(i.e. key chain) is near the Smart Key.
The engine may not start, because
the transponder signal is interrupted
by a metal.
When the system does not repeated-
ly recognize the Smart Key code,
contact your EQUUS dealer.
