WARNING - Ignition key  
Leaving children unattended in a  
vehicle with the ignition key is dan-  
gerous even if the key is not in the  
ignition switch. Children copy  
adults and they could place the key  
in the ignition switch. The ignition  
key would enable children to oper-  
ate power windows or other con-  
trols, or even make the vehicle  
move, which could result in serious  
bodily injury or even death. Never  
leave the keys in your vehicle with  
unsupervised children.

Record your key number  
The key code number is stamped on the  
bar code tag attached to the key set.  
Should you lose your keys, this number  
will enable an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer to duplicate the keys easily.  
Remove the bar code tag and store it in  
a safe place. Also, record the code num-  
ber and keep it in a safe and handy  
place, but not in the vehicle.  
WARNING  
Use only HYUNDAI original parts  
for the ignition key in your vehicle.  
If an aftermarket key is used, the  
ignition switch may not return to  
ON after START. If this happens,  
the starter will continue to operate  
causing damage to the starter  
motor and possible fire due to  
excessive current in the wiring.

In order to prevent theft of your

this number anywhere in your vehi-  
cle.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)  
Your vehicle may be equipped with an  
electronic engine immobilizer system to  
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle  
use.  
NOTICE  
If you need additional keys or lose your  
keys, consult an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
Your immobilizer system is comprised of  
a small transponder in the ignition key  
and electronic devices inside the vehicle.  
With the immobilizer system, whenever  
you insert your ignition key into the igni-  
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks  
and determines and verifies if the ignition  
key is valid or not.  
If the key is determined to be valid, the  
engine will start.  
If the key is determined to be invalid, the  
engine will not start.
