SMART ENTRY AND START SYSTEM(for Start Function) PRECAUTION


  1. CAUTION REGARDING INTERFERENCE WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES

    CAUTION:

    As weak radio waves are emitted from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, if a pacemaker is being used, be sure to read the pacemaker instruction manual and the following.


    • People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should keep away from the smart entry and start system antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry function can be disabled. Ask your dealer for details, such as the frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.

    • User of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.

    • Ask your dealer for details for disabling the smart entry and start system.

  2. PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note

    When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following systems after the cable is reconnected.

    System Name See Procedure
    Lane Departure Alert System (w/ Steering Control)

    Parking Assist Monitor System
    Pre-collision System

  3. PRECAUTION WHEN USING GTS


    1. When the engine switch is turned off, the DTCs stored in the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) will be cleared. Be sure to record any output DTCs immediately.

    2. When using the GTS with the engine switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start(CAN). While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.

  4. PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY


    1. If the battery became discharged and then was charged or the cable was disconnected and reconnected to the (-) battery terminal, the steering lock may not be released and the engine may not be able to be started unless the driver door is opened and closed with the engine switch off.

    2. After the battery is removed and reinstalled, be sure to wait at least 10 seconds before the next engine start. The engine may not start immediately after the battery is reinstalled.

      Tech Tips


      • After disconnecting and reconnecting a cable to the battery, the engine may not start on the first attempt. If this occurs, turn the engine switch off. The engine will start normally from the second time onward.

      • When a cable to the battery is disconnected and reconnected, the power source mode returns to the mode it was in before the cable was disconnected.

  5. PRECAUTION FOR REGISTRATION


    1. If replacing any of the following parts, refer to Service Bulletin.


      1. Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)

      2. Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly)

      3. ECM

      4. Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly

      5. Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU)

  6. PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING LOCK / UNLOCK FUNCTION


    1. After turning the engine switch off and opening and closing any of the doors, the steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the engine switch again automatically cancels the steering lock function.

    2. To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor operation may be suspended if the steering is locked and unlocked repeatedly in a short period of time. In this case, refrain from operating the engine switch. After about 10 seconds, the steering lock motor will resume functioning.

  7. PRECAUTIONS FOR INSPECTING POWER SOURCE FOR MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) (w/ Door Control Battery)

    The vehicle battery supplies power to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via the door control battery. If a main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) power source malfunction occurs, the door control battery may be malfunctioning.
