ENTRY AND START SYSTEM(for Start Function) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. SYSTEM FUNCTION

    Function Outline
    Push-button start function When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought into the vehicle and verified, this function changes the power source or starts the engine when the engine switch and brake pedal*1 or clutch pedal*2 are operated.
    Battery saving function for key If a switch on the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is depressed and held, this function stops transmission of the signal after approximately 20 seconds to save transmitter battery power.
    Transmitter battery saving mode function

    • If the unlock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is pressed twice while the lock switch is being pressed, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly LED blinks 4 times and enters transmitter battery saving mode.

    • The entry and start system does not operate while in transmitter battery saving mode.

    • If a button of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is pressed, transmitter battery saving mode will be canceled.
    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 electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies to prevent an unauthorized engine start.
    Automatic power off function

      for Automatic Transmission

    • With the shift lever in P and the engine switch on (ACC) (the engine is not started and the vehicle is not moving), the power automatically turns off when the vehicle is left as is for 20 minutes or more.

    • With the shift lever in P and the engine switch on (IG) (the engine is not started and the vehicle is not moving), the power automatically turns off when the vehicle is left as is for 60 minutes or more.


      for Manual Transmission

    • With the engine switch on (ACC) (the engine is not started and the vehicle is not moving), the power automatically turns off when the vehicle is left as is for 20 minutes or more.

    • With the engine switch on (IG) (the engine is not started and the vehicle is not moving), the power automatically turns off when the vehicle is left as is for 60 minutes or more.

  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 exterior key detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is near a window.

    • 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.

      • Wireless products such as cell phones, etc. are carried with the key.

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

      • Electric wave-type keyless entry systems are being operated nearby.

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


    1. The request signal sent from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is transmitted from each electrical key antenna (outside) to form the key detection area. The detection area formed by each electrical key antenna (outside) has a detection range of 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) from the door handles.

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