- Another vehicle’s smart key is
being operated close to your
vehicle.
When the smart key does not
work properly, open and close the
door with the mechanical key. If
you have a problem with the
smart key, we recommend that
you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the smart key is in close proxim-
ity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the smart
key could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone. This is especially
important when the phone is
active such as making call, receiv-
ing calls, text messaging, and/or
sending/ receiving emails. Avoid
placing the smart key and your
cell phone or smart phone in the
same pants or jacket pocket and
maintain adequate distance
between the two devices.Door lock/unlock in an emer-
gency situation

normally, you can lock or unlock the
doors by using the mechanical key.
1. Press and hold the release button
(1) and remove the mechanical
key (2).
2. Insert the key into the hole of the
outside door handle. Turn the key
toward the rear of the vehicle to
unlock and toward the front of the

3. To reinstall the mechanical key, put
the key into the hole and push it
until a click sound is heard.
CAUTION
Keep the smart key away from
water or any liquid. If the keyless
entry system is inoperative due
to exposure to water or liquids, it
