Features of your vehicle
The ECU checks the signal whether the
ignition key is valid. If the key is deter-
mined to be valid, the engine will start. If
the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.
✽
NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately not to have any malfunc-
tion after you receive your new vehicle.
To deactivate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch.
To activate the immobilizer system:
The engine may not start for the
metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal from normally
transmitting.

Immobilizer system (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
✽
NOTICE
WARNING
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
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. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehi-
cle.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key,
and antenna coil in the key cylinder and
Immobilizer Control Unit (or Smartra
Unit).
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition switch
and turn it to ON, the antenna coil in the
ignition switch receives a signal from the
transponder in the ignition key and then
sends the signal to the ECU (Engine
Control Unit).
