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 a radio station or an airport which can 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.
If your windows are tinted, especially with metallic window tint, it may cause frequency interference, reducing the smart key operating range.

If the smart key does not work correctly, open and close the door with the mechanical key. Press the Start/Stop button with the key fob. If you have a problem with the smart key, 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 mobile phone in the same location such as pants or jacket pocket to avoid interference between the two devices.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If the keyless entry system is inoperative due to changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance, it will not be covered by your manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.

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.
