• The active hood lift system is not
designed to operate in side, rear
collisions and rollover accidents.
Because the vehicle can detect
only frontal collision.
• If the front bumper is damaged or
modified.
• If the vehicle have an angled
frontal collision with pedestrians.
• If a pedestrian, lies on the road.
• If the pedestrian have an object to
absorb the shock such as a suit
case, buggy or cart.
Active hood lift system malfunc-
tion
If there is a problem with the system
a message will appear in the cluster
LCD display.
This warning message means that
the protection of pedestrians by the
active hood lift system does not
works correctly.
If the warning message displayed,
we recommend that the system be
checked as soon as possible by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
•Do not remove or change the com-
ponents and the wiring of the
active hood system.
•Do not change the front bumper
or the body structure.
•Do not install or assemble any
aftermarket accessory on the front
bumper or cover.
•When replacing tires, make sure
they are the same size as your
original tires. If you drive with dif-
ferent tire or wheel sizes, the
active hood lift system may not
work normally.
The above situations may cause a
malfunction of the active hood lift
system.

KEYS
WARNING
We recommend that you use
parts for replacement from an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. If
an aftermarket key is used, the
ignition switch may not return
to ON after START. If this hap-
pens, the starter will continue to
operate causing damage to the
starter motor and possible fire
due to excessive current in the
wiring.
WARNING
- Ignition key (Smart key)
Leaving children unattended in
a vehicle with the ignition key
(smart key) is dangerous even if
the key is not in the ignition
switch or the ENGINE START/
STOP button is ACC or ON posi-
tion. Children copy adults and
they could place the key in the
ignition switch or press the
ENGINE START/STOP button.
The ignition key (smart key)
would enable children to oper-
ate power windows or other
controls, or even make the vehi-
cle move, which could result in
serious bodily injury or even
death. Never leave the keys in
your vehicle with unsupervised
children, when the engine is
running.

Features of your vehicle

Immobilizer system
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic engine immobilizer sys-
tem to reduce the risk of unautho-
rized vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
key and electronic devices inside the
vehicle.
Vehicles without smart key sys-
tem
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON,
it checks and determines and verifies
if the ignition key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will
not start.To deactivate the immobilizer system:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobilizer system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
Vehicles with smart key system
Whenever the engine start/stop but-
ton is changed to the ON position,
the immobilizer system checks and
verifies if the key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will
not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer system
Change the engine start/stop button
to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer system
Change the engine start/stop button
to the OFF position. The immobilizer
system activates automatically.
Without a valid smart key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.

Features of your vehicle
✽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 separate in
order to avoid a starting malfun-
tioin.
✽NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose
your keys, we recommend that you
consult with an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
The transponder in your ignition
key is an important part of the
immobilizer system. It is
designed to give years of trou-
ble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to mois-
ture, static electricity and rough
handling. Immobilizer system
malfunction could occur.
CAUTION
Do not change, alter or adjust
the immobilizer system because
it could cause the immobilizer
system to malfunction and we
recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Malfunctions caused by improp-
er alterations, adjustments or
modifications to the immobilizer
system are not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer warranty.
WARNING
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 vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories
near the ignition switch.
The engine may not start for the
metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from
normally transmitting.
