Smart Key Precautions

~2min read

The Smart Key will not work if any of the following occurs:

  • The Smart Key is near a radio transmitter, such as a radio station or airport, which may interfere with normal operation of the transmitter.
  • The Smart Key is near a mobile two-way radio system or a cellular phone.
  • A Smart Key of another vehicle is operating near your vehicle.

If the Smart Key does not operate properly, lock and unlock the door with the mechanical key. If you have a problem with the Smart Key, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

If the Smart Key is in close proximity to a mobile phone, the signal may be blocked by your mobile phone's normal operating signals. This is especially important when the phone is active, for example, making and receiving calls, text messages, and/or sending/receiving e-mails. Avoid placing the Smart Key and your mobile phone in the same pants or jacket pocket and always try to maintain sufficient distance between the two devices.

CAUTION

Keep the Smart Key away from electromagnetic materials, which block electromagnetic waves to the key surface.
