Your HYUNDAI uses a smart key, which you can use to lock or unlock the doors (and boot) and even start the engine whilst just carrying the key.

  1. Door lock
  2. Door unlock
  3. Boot open/close (Power boot)
  4. Remote start (if equipped)
Locking your vehicle

2C_OutsideDoorHandleTouch

  1. Close all doors, bonnet and boot.

  2. Make sure you 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. Also, the outside rear-view mirrors fold if Setup > Vehicle > Lights > Welcome mirror/lights > On door unlock or On driver approach is selected from the infotainment system.

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

  • The door handle button only operates when the smart key is within 1 m 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 Engine Start/Stop button is in the ACC or ON position.

    • Any door is open (except for the boot).

    If this occurs, a chime sounds for about 3 seconds. Check the vehicle before attempting to lock the vehicle again.

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

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

Unlocking your vehicle

2C_OutsideDoorHandleTouch

Smart key reminder

If the door is locked using the central door lock/unlock button inside the vehicle with a door open and the smart key in the vehicle, the doors do not lock and the lock is released again.

Opening the boot

To unlock and open the boot:

  1. Make sure you have the smart key with you.

  2. Press either the boot open button on the vehicle or press and hold the boot Open/Close button (3) on the smart key for more than one second. The hazard warning lights blink twice and the boot opens.

    Press and hold the boot Open/Close button (3) on the smart key to close the opened boot. If you release the button whilst the boot is being closed, it stops working and the chime sounds for about 5 seconds.

The boot open/close only operates when the smart key is within 1 m from the boot.

Remotely starting vehicle

  3. To turn off the engine, press the Remote Start button (4) once.

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

  • The engine turns off if you get inside the vehicle without a registered smart key.

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

  • The Remote Start button (4) may not operate if the smart key is not within 10 m from the vehicle.

  • The vehicle will not remotely start if the vehicle bonnet or boot is open.

Starting your vehicle

You can leave your smart key in your pocket or purse when you start your vehicle.

For more information, refer to the “Engine Start/Stop button” section in chapter 6.

If the smart key is not moved for some time, the detection function for smart key operation pauses. Lift the smart key to activate the detection again.

To prevent damaging the smart key:

  • Keep the smart key in a cool, dry place to avoid damage or malfunction. Exposure to moisture or high temperature may cause the internal circuit of the smart key to malfunction which may not be covered under warranty.

  • Avoid dropping or throwing the smart key.

  • Protect the smart key from extreme temperatures.

Mechanical key

If the smart key does not operate normally, you can lock or unlock the driver’s door by using the mechanical key.

2C_Mechanicalkey

Turn the knob (2) of the mechanical key after removing the key protector (1).

After using the mechanical key, turn the key knob (2) and insert the key protector (1).

Key cylinder (Driver door)

A key cylinder is located on the driver side door handle hidden behind a plastic cover. Using the mechanical key, push and hold the key cylinder cover release button located on the underside of the door handle.

Use the mechanical key inserted into the release button slot to open the cover outward. Once the cover is off, the mechanical key can be inserted into the key cylinder to lock or unlock the vehicle.

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 immediately take the vehicle and remaining key to your authorised 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 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.

  • 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 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. To start the engine, press the Engine Start/Stop button directly with the smart key. If you have a problem with the smart key, it is recommended that you contact an authorised 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 together in the same location in order 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 block 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.

People with medical devices such as implanted pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators should not carry the smart key near the heart. The smart key system may affect the operation of such implanted medical devices.

Failure to do so may result in interference with the medical device, which could result in serious injury.

Replacing the battery
