Immobiliser system
(if equipped)
The immobiliser system protects 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 placed in
the ON position, the immobiliser sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognise
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON position
again.
The system may not recognise your
key’s coding if another immobiliser
key or other metal object (i.e., 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
recognise the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you 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.The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobiliser
system. It is designed to give
years of trouble-free service, how-
ever you should avoid exposure to
moisture, static electricity and
rough handling. Immobiliser sys-
tem malfunction could occur.
NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle.
