Immobilizer system
The immobilizer system protects 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, contact 
an authorized 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.
 
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.
