In this short guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to start the engine of the Hyundai Santa Fe remotely, directly from the key fob. First, we take our key fob and start approaching the vehicle; then we press and hold the "hold" button on the key fob for a few seconds, which is located at the bottom, as shown in the video.

We then wait a few seconds for the engine to start, also unlocking the door locks; we then get into the vehicle, remembering that the engine is already running.
