PUSH-BUTTON START SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. SYSTEM FUNCTION

    Function Outline
    Push-button start function When the key is brought into the vehicle and verified, this function changes the power source or starts the engine when the engine switch and brake pedal are operated.
    Battery saving function for vehicle

    When the vehicle is not used for a long time, this function extends the interval between each periodic transmission of the request signal, or stops transmission of the request signal to save vehicle battery power.


    • When 5 days elapse without a response from the key, periodic transmission stops.

    • When 14 days elapse without a response from the key, the lock/unlock sensor of all door outside handle assemblies except the driver door is disabled.

    When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is left in a detection area for 10 minutes or more, the entry and start system automatically deactivates the exterior detection area the key is in.
    Transmitter battery saving function

    • Press the unlock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly twice while pressing the lock switch and check that the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly LED blinks 4 times and enters transmitter battery saving mode.

    • Check that the entry and start system does not operate while in transmitter battery saving mode.

    • To cancel transmitter battery saving mode, press a button of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
    Battery saving function for key If a switch on the key is depressed and held, this function stops transmission of the signal after approximately 20 seconds to save key battery power.
    Key cancel function Cancels the entry and start system when certain operations are performed.
    Immobiliser function Allows the engine to be started only using registered keys to prevent an unauthorized engine start.
    Automatic power off function

    • When the shift lever is in P and the power source mode is on (ACC) (the engine has not been started and the vehicle is not moving), this function automatically turns off the power after approximately 20 minutes elapse.

    • When the shift lever is in P and the power source mode is on (IG) (the engine has not been started and the vehicle is not moving), this function automatically turns off the power after approximately 60 minutes elapse.

  2. DETECTION AREA

    Note


    • Depending on the vehicle body shape, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not operate in certain locations.

    • Even if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the vehicle interior key detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

    • Depending on the way the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not operate properly.

    • The key detection area may reduce in size or the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected under the conditions below:


      • The transmitter battery is depleted.


      • There are TV towers, electric power plants, broadcasting stations, gas stations or other facilities that produce strong electric waves nearby.


      • Electronics devices such as cell phones, etc. are carried with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.


      • The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is covered by or in contact with a metal object.


      • A radio wave type keyless entry systems are being operated nearby.


      • The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is placed near high-voltage equipment or equipment that emits electrical noise.


    1. The detection area inside the vehicle is formed and the key is detected when any of the following conditions are met: 1) The driver door is opened and closed, 2) the brake pedal is depressed, 3) the engine switch is operated, 4) the conditions required for various warnings are met, or 5) an entry door lock operation is performed.

    2. The detection area inside the vehicle when starting the engine can be customized through the customize function.
