Your HYUNDAI uses a smart key that is used to lock or unlock the driver's and passenger's doors and the rear tailgate, and start the vehicle.

Locking your vehicle (1)

2C_OutsideDoorHandleButton

  1. Close all doors, hood, and tailgate.

  2. Have the smart key with you.

  3. Press the door handle button or press the Door Lock button (1) on the smart key. The hazard warning lights blink.

  4. Make sure the doors are locked by pulling the outside door handle.

  • To fold the outside rearview mirror simultaneously when the door is locked, Select User Settings > Convenience > Welcome Mirror/Light > On door unlock/On driver approach in the instrument cluster or Vehicle > Light > Welcome mirror/light > On driver approach in the infotainment system.

  • The door handle button only operates when the smart key is within 1 m (40 in.) from the outside door handle.

  • If you lock the doors using the door handle button, the doors are not locked under the following circumstances:

    • The smart key is in the vehicle.

    • The Start/Stop button is in the ACC or ON position.

    • Any door is open.

    If this occurs, a chime sounds for a few seconds. Check the vehicle before attempting to lock the vehicle again.

Before you leave your vehicle with the smart key, verify that your vehicle is locked.

(If it has been longer than 3 seconds, verify the doors are locked by pressing the lock button on the smart key. You can hear a single beep.)

Do not leave the smart key in your vehicle with children that are unattended or unsupervised.

Children could unintentionally press the Start/Stop button or could operate the power windows or other vehicle controls or even cause the vehicle to move. This may result in serious injury or death.

  • After unlocking the doors, the doors are locked automatically after 30 seconds unless a door is opened.

Smart key reminder

If the smart key is in the vehicle, and the door is locked with the central door lock/unlock button in the vehicle with a door open, the doors are not locked but unlocked again.

Remotely starting vehicle (3)

To start the vehicle remotely:

  1. Press the door lock button on the smart key within about 10 m (32 ft.) from the vehicle.

  2. Press the Remote Start button for more than 2 seconds within 4 seconds after pressing the door lock button.

  3. The vehicle will start.

  4. To turn off the remote start function, press the Remote Start button (3) once.

  • The vehicle must be in P (Park) for the remote start function to start.

  • The vehicle displays "Smart key must be present to keep the vehicle running" if you get on the vehicle without a registered smart key.

  • The vehicle turns off if you do not get in the vehicle within 10 minutes after remotely starting the vehicle.

  • The Remote start button (3) may not operate if the smart key is not within 10 m (32 ft.) from the vehicle.

  • The vehicle does not remotely start if the hood or tailgate is open.

Unlocking the tailgate (4)

To unlock:

  3. The hazard warning lights will blink two times.

    Once the tailgate is opened and then closed, the tailgate will lock automatically.

The tailgate Unlock button (4) will only unlock the tailgate. It will not release the latch and open the tailgate automatically. If the Tailgate Unlock button is used, someone must still press the tailgate handle button to open the tailgate.

Mechanical key

If the Smart Key does not operate normally, you can lock or unlock the door by using the mechanical key.

2C_RemovingModifierKey

Move the release lever in the direction of the arrow (1) and then remove the mechanical key (2). Insert the mechanical key into the key hole on the door.

To reinstall the mechanical key, put the key into the hole and push it until a click sound is heard.

Loss of a smart key

A maximum of two smart keys can be registered to a single vehicle. If you happen to lose your smart key, it is recommended that you should immediately take the vehicle and remaining key to your authorized HYUNDAI dealer or tow the vehicle, if necessary.

Smart key precautions
  • The smart key may not work if any of the following occur:

    • The smart key is close to a radio transmitter such as radio station or airport that may interfere with normal operation of the transmitter.

    • The smart key is near a mobile two way radio system or a mobile phone.

    • Another vehicle's smart key is being operated close to your vehicle.

    • The smart key is near any normal electronic devices or credit cards.

    • The vehicle battery is discharged.

    • Connecting an external device to the power outlet and placing the smart key near the external device.

    If the smart key does not work correctly, open and close the door with the mechanical key. To start the vehicle, press the Start/Stop button directly with the smart key. If you have a problem with the smart key, we recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

    If the smart key is in close proximity to your mobile phone, the signal could be blocked by your mobile phone's normal operational signals. This is specifically relevant when the phone is active such as making and receiving calls, text messaging, and/or sending/receiving emails. When possible, avoid keeping the smart key and your smartphone in the same location such as a pants or jacket pocket to avoid interference between the two devices.

  • If your windows are tinted, especially with metallic window tint, it may cause frequency interference, reducing the smart key operating range.

  • Keep the smart key away from electromagnetic materials that blocks electromagnetic waves to the key surface.

  • Always have the smart key with you when leaving the vehicle. If the smart key is left near the vehicle, the vehicle battery may be discharged.

Replacing the battery
