Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system helps protect
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 turned on (or
the Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
to the on position), the immobilizer
system indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize the
coding of the key.
Turn the ignition switch to the Lock
position, then turn the ignition switch to
the ON position again. (For remote key)
Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position, then press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON position
again. (For smart key)
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (for example,
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, 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. WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a customer
unique password and should be kept
confidential.
NOTICE
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer
system. It is designed to give years
of trouble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.
