Remote Key

~2min read

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

1. Door lock

2. Unlocking the Door

3. Panic

Locking

To lock:

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

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

3. The hazard warning lights will flash and the horn will sound once if the lock button is pressed again within four seconds.

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.

3. The driver's door will unlock. The hazard warning lights will flash twice.

✽ NOTICE

  • If you press the door unlock button again within four seconds, all doors will unlock.
  • After the doors are unlocked, they will automatically lock again after 30 seconds if no door is opened.
  • You can change the system to the central door unlock mode (all doors unlock with one press of the unlock button). If you want this function, perform the following:

Changing the Unlock Mode (Two-Step Unlock Mode ↔ Central Door Unlock Mode)

The unlock mode changes alternately by pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the remote key simultaneously for 4 seconds or more. The hazard warning lights will flash four times to indicate the mode change is complete.

Panic button

Press the panic button (4) for more than one second. The horn and hazard warning lights will flash for approximately 30 seconds.

To cancel the panic mode, press any button on the remote key.

CAUTION

To avoid damaging the remote key:

  • Keep the remote key away from water or any other liquid. If the remote key does not work due to exposure to water or other liquids, it will not be covered under your vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
  • Do not drop or throw the smart key.
  • Protect the remote key from extreme temperatures.

Mechanical Key

If the remote key does not operate normally, you can lock or unlock the door using the mechanical key.
