Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system helps protect 
your vehicle from theft. If an improperly 
coded key (or other device) is used, the 
engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the Engine Start/Stop button 
is pressed to the ON position, the 
immobilizer system indicator should 
come on briefly, then go off. If the 
indicator starts to blink, the system does 
not recognize the coding of the key.
Press the Engine Start/Stop button to 
the OFF position, then press the Engine 
Start/Stop button to the ON position 
again.
In some circumstances, the vehicle may 
not recognize your smart key if another 
smart key device is nearby or a metal 
object such as a key chain is causing 
interference with the smart key.
If this occurs, your vehicle may not 
start. Remove any metal objects or 
additional keys near the smart key before 
attempting to start the vehicle again.
If the system repeatedly does not 
recognize the coding of the key, it is 
recommended that you contact your 
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Do not attempt to alter this system 
or add other devices to it. Electrical 
problems could result that may make 
your vehicle inoperable.
 WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your 
vehicle, do not leave spare keys 
anywhere in your vehicle. Your 
immobilizer password is a customer 
unique password and should be kept 
confidential.
NOTICE
The transponder in your key is an 
important part of the immobilizer 
system. It is designed to give years 
of trouble-free service, however you 
should avoid exposure to moisture, 
static electricity and rough handling. 
Immobilizer system malfunction could 
occur.
