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 position. 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 operate power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle 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 run-
ning.
Should you lose your keys, we recom-
mend that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Remove the key code
tag and store it in a safe place. Also,
record the key code number and keep it
in a safe and handy place, but not in the
vehicle.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the key and elec-
tronic devices inside the vehicle.
Vehicles without smart key system
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if the ignition
key is valid or not.

WARNING
To deactivate the immobilizer system:
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
happens, the starter will continue
to operate causing damage to the
starter motor and possible fire due
to excessive current in the wiring.
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobilizer system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.
