Hyundai i30 Owner's Manual page 73

The ECU checks the signal whether the
ignition key is valid. If the key is deter-
mined to be valid, the engine will start. If
the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobiliser sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobiliser system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The immobiliser system activates auto-
matically. Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobiliser keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separately not to have any malfunc-
tion after you receive your new vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch.
The engine may not start as the
metal accessories may interrupt the
transponder signal from normally
transmitting.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you need additional keys or lose your
keys, consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
