Immobilizer system
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your ve-
hicle 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 immobilizer system indi-
cator should come on briefly, then go off.
If the indicator starts to blink, the system
does not recognize 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 recognize your key’s
coding if another immobilizer 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 sig-
nal from transmitting normally.
If the system repeatedly does not recog-
nize the coding of the key, it is recom-
mended 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.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your vehicle,
do not leave spare keys anywhere in
your vehicle. Your immobilizer pass-
word is a customer unique password
and should be kept confidential.
NOTICE
The transponder in your key is an impor-
tant part of the immobilizer system. It
is designed to give years of trouble-
free service, however you should avoid
exposure to moisture, static electricity
and rough handling. Immobilizer system
malfunction could occur.
