diately take the vehicle and remaining

Immobiliser System
The immobiliser 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 Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position, the immobiliser
system indicator should come on
briefly, then go off. If the indicator
starts to blink, the system does not
recognise the coding of the key.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
to the OFF position, then press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position again.
The system may not recognise your
key’s coding if another immobiliser
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
recognise 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.
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobiliser password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.
WARNING
The transponder in your key is
an important part of the immo-
biliser system. It is designed to
give years of trouble-free serv-
ice, however you should avoid
exposure to moisture, static
electricity and rough handling.
Immobiliser system malfunc-
tion could occur.
