"Limp Home" mode

[JOwest]

According to page 4-6 of the Owners Manual, the engine cannot be started when the immobilizer system failed. The only way to start the engine is follow the procedures to activate "Limp Home" mode.
The "Limp Home" mode requires a password. The manual says you get the password when you pick up the Gen from your dealer. My dealer never gave me any passwords. Any Gen owners here receive such password from their dealers?

Interesting! I wonder if Canada has a different manual. My manual talks about the smart key on these pages, but nothing about limp home mode. Check your pages against the U.S. manual here and see if they match. http://cid-5103094dcbb8400e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/2009 Genesis Owners Manual.pdf

I know of no place to enter passwords in this car, directly. The Smart Key has a unique PIN, controlled by Hyundai, and you can only enter it using a service laptop. Check out the following on key programming:

I did not receive a password and my manual does not say anything about a "Limp Home" mode on page 4-6.

I looked at the US version of the Owners Manual. Page 4-5 is the same as my Canadian manual. Page 4-6 on the US manual talk about the Smart key, the Canadian version talk about the Smart key on page 4-7.
I picked up my car on Oct 31. Could this means this info was missing from the earlier version and Hyundai is updating the manual with the newer Gen? Maybe other recent Gen owners can check their manuals and confirm.
