Your HYUNDAI uses a remote key that allows you to lock or unlock the doors (and tailgate) and even start the engine.

Locking

To lock:

1. Close all doors, the hood, and the tailgate.

4. Make sure the doors are locked by checking the position of the door lock button inside the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not leave the keys in the vehicle with children unattended. Unattended children may insert the key into the ignition switch and operate the power windows or other controls, or even set the vehicle in motion, which may result in serious injury or death.

Unlocking

To unlock:

1. Press the door unlock button (2) on the smart key.

2. The doors will unlock. The hazard warning lights will flash twice. Also, the outside rearview mirrors will unfold if the outside rearview mirror folding switch is in the AUTO position.

Information

After unlocking the doors, the doors will automatically lock again after 30 seconds if no door is opened.

Unlocking the Trunk

To unlock:

1. Press and hold the tailgate unlock button (3) on the remote key for more than one second.

2. The hazard warning lights will flash twice.

NOTICE

To avoid damaging the remote key:

  • Keep the remote key away from water, any other liquids and fire. If the inside of the smart key gets wet (from drinks or moisture) or overheats, the internal circuit may malfunction, and the vehicle warranty may be voided.
  • Do not drop or throw the smart key.
  • Protect the remote key from extreme temperatures.
