the ignition switch, all of the doors and
hood must be closed and the driver’s
door must be locked with the ignition
key or all doors must be locked with the
keyless entry. When the device is
armed, the visual (flashing hazard
lamps) and audible (horn sound) alarm
system will be triggered if unauthorized
entry is attempted through the doors,
trunk or the hood. The device is
disarmed when the driver’s door is
unlocked with the transponder key or
keyless entry.
Hyundai stated that its antitheft
device has been installed as standard
equipment on the Hyundai Azera which
was previously approved for exemption
from Part 541. There is currently no
available theft rate data for Hyundai
vehicle lines that have been installed
with similar devices. However, Hyundai
submitted data on the effectiveness of
various antitheft devices to support its
belief that its device will be at least
effective as comparable devices
installed on other vehicle lines
previously granted exemptions by the
agency. Hyundai further stated that it
believes that the General Motors, Ford
and Isuzu devices contain components
that are functionally and operationally
similar to its device. Hyundai also
stated that the theft data from the
National Crime Information Center
(NCIC) show a clear reduction in vehicle
thefts after the introduction of the GM
and Ford devices. Therefore, Hyundai
believes that its device will be at least
as effective as those devices that have
been installed on lines previously
granted exemptions by the agency.
Hyundai provided theft rate data for the
Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird
vehicle lines showing a substantial
reduction in theft rates comparing the
lines between pre- and post
introduction of the Pass-Key device.
Hyundai also provided ‘‘percent
reduction’’ data for theft rates between
pre- and post-production years for the
Ford Taurus and Mustang, and
Oldsmobile Toronado and Riviera
vehicle lines normalized to the threeyear average of the Camaro and Firebird
pre-introduction data. Hyundai stated
that the data shows a dramatic
reduction of theft rates due to the
introduction of devices substantially
similar to the Hyundai immobilizer
device. Specifically, the Taurus,
Mustang, Riviera and Toronado vehicle
lines showed a 63, 70, 80 and 58 percent
theft rate reduction respectively
between pre- and post-introduction of
immobilizer devices as standard
equipment on these vehicle lines.
In addressing the specific content
requirements of 543.6, Hyundai
provided information on the reliability

Jkt 214001
and durability of its proposed device.
To ensure reliability and durability of
the device, Hyundai conducted tests
based on its own specified standards.
Hyundai also provided a detailed list of
the tests conducted and believes that the
device is reliable and durable since the
device complied with its specified
requirements for each test.
Based on the evidence submitted by
Hyundai, the agency believes that the
antitheft device for the Genesis vehicle
line is likely to be as effective in
reducing and deterring motor vehicle
theft as compliance with the partsmarking requirements of the Theft
Prevention Standard (49 CFR Part 541).
Based on the information Hyundai
provided about its device, the agency
concludes that the device will provide
the five types of performance listed in
§ 543.6(a)(3): Promoting activation;
attracting attention to the efforts of
unauthorized persons to enter or operate
a vehicle by means other than a key;
preventing defeat or circumvention of
the device by unauthorized persons;
preventing operation of the vehicle by
unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the
reliability and durability of the device.
As required by 49 U.S.C. 33106 and
49 CFR 543.6(a)(4) and (5), the agency
finds that Hyundai has provided
adequate reasons for its belief that the
antitheft device will reduce and deter
theft.
For the foregoing reasons, the agency
hereby grants in full Hyundai’s petition
for exemption for the Genesis vehicle
line from the parts-marking
requirements of 49 CFR Part 541. The
agency notes that 49 CFR Part 541,
Appendix A–1, identifies those lines
that are exempted from the Theft
Prevention Standard for a given model
year. 49 CFR Part 543.7(f) contains
publication requirements incident to the
disposition of all Part 543 petitions.
Advanced listing, including the release
of future product nameplates, the
beginning model year for which the
petition is granted and a general
description of the antitheft device is
necessary in order to notify law
enforcement agencies of new vehicle
lines exempted from the parts-marking
requirements of the Theft Prevention
Standard.
If Hyundai decides not to use the
exemption for this line, it must formally
notify the agency. If such a decision is
made, the line must be fully marked
according to the requirements under 49
CFR Parts 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of
major component parts and replacement
parts).
NHTSA notes that if Hyundai wishes
in the future to modify the device on
which this exemption is based, the
PO 00000
Frm 00134
Fmt 4703

company may have to submit a petition
to modify the exemption. Part 543.7(d)
states that a Part 543 exemption applies
only to vehicles that belong to a line
exempted under this part and equipped
with the anti-theft device on which the
line’s exemption is based. Further, Part
543.9(c)(2) provides for the submission
of petitions ‘‘to modify an exemption to
permit the use of an antitheft device
similar to but differing from the one
specified in that exemption.’’
The agency wishes to minimize the
administrative burden that Part
543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted
vehicle manufacturers and itself. The
agency did not intend in drafting Part
543 to require the submission of a
modification petition for every change
to the components or design of an
antitheft device. The significance of
many such changes could be de
minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests
that if the manufacturer contemplates
making any changes, the effects of
which might be characterized as de
minimis, it should consult the agency
before preparing and submitting a
petition to modify.
