Hyundai i10 key fobs - WelshKingJohn

Hi all, hope your doing well.

I have a mot in 4 days, so hope car ok until then.

Car is motability, normally i would only have it for 3 years, but because of shortage, its almost 4 years now.

November im told new electric car ready.

So, i go to the car with my key fob in my hand, press the door button and it unlocks, i put keys in center console and i press button and start car.

All ok, my wife comes to car with her keys in a shoulder bag, she opens door to put few things in, then walks off to open gate.

As soon as she walks off, the car sounds a buzzing type sound and on dashboard it says "key out of car"

I know, you think its battries, but didn't manufacturers have a way to send a signal to keys, get a code reply without battries?

Hope it is just a battery fault, or im stuck with free hier car for several weeks.

Thanks, John

Don’t quite get the question. The car message said keys out of car , which they were . When you enter the car on the keyless start system, it’s expecting you to switch ignition on , which didn’t happen. Presumably that’s why the message appeared. The fob battery is need for the keyless system to operate correctly. If they fail , then there is an emergency touch point on the car that allows the car to start if you swipe the key nearby.

Elekie - OP said 'I press button and start car'. ??

The way I read it , wife didn’t start the car . Or did she ?

No. The way I read it, the OP started the car, then Mrs OP used her key to open the other door. So the car may be confused by the presence of 2 keys ?

Looks like it . I think the Op got confused. Just like the system . Couldn’t identify both keys . What was wrong with an old fashioned blade key ? Nothing.
