Check Battery and Cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the battery
system. Visually inspect the battery and cables
as described in Section 6 (See page 6-18). The
level of charge in your battery can be checked
by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heat
the immobilizer key over 80°C to open the
frozen lock, it may cause damage to the
transponder in its head.
