Operating Door Locks from Outside the Vehicle (Electric type)

Smart key

When all doors are closed, touch the touch sensor on the front outside door handle (the engraved part) while carrying the smart key with you, outside door handle will return and doors will be locked.

The hazard warning lights will blink and chime also sounds once.

If the door is locked/unlocked multiple times in rapid succession with the smart key, door lock button or door lock switch, the system may stop operating temporarily in order to protect the circuit. Also, the “Approach unlock” system may not operate. Try operation after a sufficient time in case the system does not operate due to multiple operations.
“Approach unlock” system is not operated continuously. Retry after a certain period of time when all the doors are closed.

In cold and wet climates, door lock and door mechanisms may not work properly due to freezing conditions.
If the door is locked/unlocked multiple times in rapid succession with either the vehicle key or door lock switch, the system may stop operating temporarily in order to protect the circuit and prevent damage to system components.
When washing the vehicle
- Self vehicle wash
  
  Keep the door locked with the outside door handle closed.
  
  To keep the door unlocked, push back the outside door handle by hand. This function prevents the door handle from being damaged, and the door handle pops out again when the unlock button is pressed.
- Auto vehicle wash
  
  Keep the door locked with the outside door handle closed.
  
  If the smart key is not in the vehicle, turn off the vehicle and stay the smart key away at least 78 in. (2 m) from the vehicle to prevent the outside door handle operates.

Digital key

For more information, refer to the "Hyundai Digital Key" section in this chapter to lock or unlock the door from outside vehicle with digital key.

Pull the outside door handle to open the door after unlocking the door. Push the door to close.

Mechanical key

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

Press the front part (3) of the door handle to pull out the rear part of the door handle. While keep pressing the front part of the door handle, insert the mechanical key (4) to the lock.

To lock the door, turn the key toward the front (left side) of the vehicle. To unlock, turn the key toward the rear (right side) of the vehicle.

Do not apply excessive force on the door and door handle. It may damage the door and door handle.

The mechanical key only locks/unlocks the driver's door handle. For more information, refer to the "In case of an emergency" section in this chapter.

When the door handle or the keyhole freeze and do not open, lightly tap or indirectly warm (for example, hand temperature) the keyhole.

Since the smart key and the mechanical key are separated, always carry the mechanical key in case the vehicle battery and the smart key battery are discharged.

In case of an emergency

Doors without an outside key hole can be locked as follows:

Open the door.
Insert a small blade tool (for example, screwdriver or similar) into the emergency door lock hole and turn it clockwise for left side door, or turn it counterclockwise for right side door.
Close the door securely.

If the electrical power to door lock switch is not operating (for example, discharged vehicle battery) and the trunk is closed, you cannot open the trunk until power is restored.

Always close and lock the doors while the vehicle is moving. If the doors are unlocked, the risk of being thrown from the vehicle in a collision increases.

Do not pull the inner door handle of the driver's or passenger's door while the vehicle is moving.

Do not leave the elderly, children, or animals unattended in your vehicle. An enclosed vehicle can become extremely hot and the elderly, unattended children or animals who cannot escape the vehicle may be seriously injured or killed.

Always park your vehicle properly. Depress the brake pedal, change the gear to P (Park), apply the parking brake, press the Start/Stop button to the OFF position, close all windows, lock all doors, and always take the keys with you.

Be careful when opening doors and watch for vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians approaching the vehicle to prevent serious injury or death.

To exit the vehicle if the power door lock does not function:

Operate the door unlock feature repeatedly (both electronic and manual) while simultaneously pulling on the door handle.
Operate the other door locks and handles.
Lower the driver's front window and use the mechanical key to unlock the door from outside.
