OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Push-button start function:
When the key is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) is depressed, the engine is started by pressing the engine switch.
When the key is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) is not depressed, the power source mode is changed by pressing the engine switch. The power source mode changes in the following order every time the engine switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
| *a | Key Warning Light Display |
After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the engine switch is off, if the engine switch is pressed while not depressing the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle), the power source mode changes to on (ACC) and the key warning light display.
| *a | Key Warning Light Display |
After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the engine switch is off, if the engine switch is pressed 2 times without depressing the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle), the power source mode changes to on (IG) and the key warning light display.
| *A | except Manual Transaxle |
| *B | for Manual Transaxle |
| *a | Key Warning Light Display |
After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the engine switch is off, if the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) is depressed while the shift lever is in P (except Manual Transaxle) or N (except Manual Transaxle), the key warning light is displayed.
The engine starts if the engine switch is pressed when the key warning light is displayed.
Changing the power source mode when the key does not operate correctly due to wave interference or key battery depletion:
Unlock the door using the built-in mechanical key and get into the vehicle while carrying the key.
While depressing the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle), and facing the logo side of the key towards the engine switch, hold the key near the engine switch.
A buzzer in the combination meter assembly sounds and the power source mode changes to on (IG). Pressing the engine switch without depressing the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) turns the power source mode from on (IG) to off.
Starting the engine when the key does not operate correctly due to wave interference or key battery depletion:
Unlock the door using the built-in mechanical key and get into the vehicle while carrying the key.
While depressing the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) with the shift lever in P (except Manual Transaxle) or N* (except Manual Transaxle), while facing the logo side of the key towards the engine switch, hold the key near the engine switch.
Tech Tips
*: This is only applicable when the steering wheel unlocked.
A buzzer in the combination meter assembly sounds, the power source mode changes to on (IG) and the key warning light is displayed.
Press the engine switch with the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) depressed to start the engine.
CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION
CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION
Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P (except Manual Transaxle), check the key warning light is displayed when the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) is depressed. Then check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the key warning light is displayed.
While the brake pedal (except Manual Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) is released and the key is being carried, check that the power source mode changes in the following order when the engine switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
Tech Tips
except Manual Transaxle:
When the engine switch is pressed with the engine switch on (IG) and the shift lever not in P, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).
With the shift lever in P (except Manual Transaxle), check that the steering lock operates when a door is opened.
Tech Tips
except Manual Transaxle:
When the engine switch is pressed after the vehicle is stopped, the engine stops and all the power turns off. However, if the shift lever is not in P when the engine switch is pressed with the vehicle stopped, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the push-button start function operation range for the front side. Place the key in either of the two locations making sure that the key is oriented as shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.
Note
Even if the key is in a vehicle interior key detection area, the key may not be properly detected if the key is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.
If the key is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the shift lever, communication may not be possible.
Tech Tips
Perform this inspection for both inspection points.
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the push-button start function operation range for the rear side. Place the key in either of the two locations making sure that the key is oriented as shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.
Note
Even if the key is in a vehicle interior key detection area, the key may not be properly detected if the key is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.
If the key is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the center of the rear seat, communication may not be possible.
Tech Tips
Perform this inspection for both inspection points.
CHECK TRANSMITTER BATTERY SAVING FUNCTION
Check the 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.
Tech Tips
To cancel transmitter battery saving mode, press a button of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
CHECK POWER SOURCE MODE CHANGING FUNCTION
Check the engine switch.
except Manual Transaxle:
Check that the power source mode changes according to the chart below.

However, this situation is not applicable when an emergency stop is performed by pressing and holding the engine switch for 2 seconds or more or by quickly pressing the engine switch 3 times or more.
*2: This situation is only applicable when the steering is unlocked.

except Manual Transaxle:
Condition 1
All of the following conditions are met:
The power source mode was turned from on (IG) to on (ACC).
Key verification is OK*2 or immobiliser is unset (engine switch is on (ACC) or on (IG)).
The shift lever is in N and the steering is unlocked.
The stop light switch is on.

*2: When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin, the ID code sent as a result from communication between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and the ID code calculated by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) are compared. If the ID codes match each other, the vehicle recognizes that the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin.
