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 HYUNDAI authorised repairer 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 a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

    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

If the smart key is not working properly, try replacing the battery with a new one.
