SMART ENTRY AND START SYSTEM (for Entry Function) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

If using a pacemaker, be sure to read the manual of the pacemaker before using the key, as the radio waves of the key may affect the pacemaker.


  1. SMART ENTRY AND START SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


    1. In addition to conventional mechanical key and wireless door lock control functions, the smart entry and start system enables door locking/unlocking, steering lock releasing and engine starting without operating the key. The only requirement is that the key is in the user's possession.


      • This system is controlled by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). When the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) detects the presence of the smart entry and start system in one of the detection areas, it identifies and checks the ID code, and outputs operation signals to the related ECU in accordance with their functions.

      • The detection areas are formed by 6 oscillators (2 door oscillators, 1 outside oscillator and 3 cabin oscillators).

  2. DETECTION AREA

    A01CG4TE03

    1. Precautions for the entire system:


      • Be sure to carry the key during inspection of the smart entry and start system.

      • As weak radio waves are used to detect the key, the key detection area may decrease, or the key may not be detected correctly in the following situations:


        1. The key battery is depleted.

        2. Any facilities that generate strong radio waves, such as a TV tower, power plant, broadcast station or gas station, are located near the inspection site.

        3. A wireless device, such as a cellular phone, is carried with the key.

        4. The key is in contact with or covered with metal.

        5. Another wireless door lock control function is operated near the vehicle.

        6. The key is located near a device that generates high voltage or noise.


      • The key may be difficult to operate for a reason relating to the vehicle body shape.

      • The key may not be detected correctly if it is around the vehicle's windows, the door handle or center of the bumper even when it is in the detection area outside the vehicle.

      • The key may not be detected correctly if it is on the instrument panel, rear package tray, floor or in the glove box even when it is in the detection area inside the vehicle.

      • The key may not operate if the key is not held properly.

      • The smart entry and start system does not operate in the following conditions:


        1. The smart entry and start system is canceled.

        2. The key battery is completely depleted (the indicator does not blink when pushing any of the buttons on the key).

      • The transceiver function for the smart entry and start system receives the signals from the oscillators and sends the ID code to the tuner.

      • The transmitter function for the wireless door lock control has a LOCK switch, UNLOCK switch, POWER SLIDE DOOR LH/RH switches and POWER BACK DOOR switch*.

        *: w/ Power Back Door System

      • This mechanical key works for the driver door and glove box, but cannot start the engine.

      A total of 7 keys can be registered.

      A01CCS8E05
      A01CFQPE02
    2. Oscillator (each door electrical key oscillator, indoor electrical key oscillator (for front, center and rear floor) and outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side))

      Each oscillator transmits the request signal received from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), and forms a key detection area to detect the presence of a key. The detection area formed by each door electrical key oscillator and outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side) is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) from the outside handle of each door or the center of the rear bumper.


      • The detection area of each door electrical key oscillator is formed by transmitting a request signal every 0.25 seconds while the engine switch is off and each door is locked. In this way, the oscillator detects the proximity of a key. During entry lock, the detection area is formed with the lock switch on.

      • The detection area of the outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side) is formed when the back door opener switch assembly is on.

      • The detection area of the indoor electrical key oscillator (for front, center and rear floor) is formed when any door is opened or closed, during engine start, when a warning is activated, or when the lock switch is on.

  5. ENTRY FUNCTION OPERATION


    1. The smart entry and start system has the following functions:

      Function Outline
      Mechanical Key Operation is the same as conventional mechanical key.
      Wireless Door Lock Control This function remotely locks and unlocks all doors. Operation is the same as wireless door lock control system. However, the receiver in certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) uses entry door control receiver to control locking and unlocking.
      Entry Illumination When person carrying key enters detection area, door will enter unlock standby mode and front map light will illuminate.
      Entry Unlock When key is located in detection area of door electrical key oscillator, door will unlock by touching inside of door outside handle assembly.
      Entry Lock
      • When key is located in detection area of door electrical key oscillator and engine switch is off, door can be locked by pressing lock switch on door outside handle assembly.

      • When the key is in an exterior actuation area of an outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side) and engine switch is off, back door can be locked by pressing lock switch on the back boor opener switch assembly.

      Entry Back Door Open When a key is in an exterior actuation area of the outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side), the back door opens manually by simply pressing the back door opener switch assembly (opener switch).
      Memory Call This function operates driving position memory system in accordance with key ID code.
      Key Lock-in Prevention This function prevents confinement of key if door is locked using door outside handle assembly while key is still inside vehicle.
      Warning

      When any of situations below occur, smart entry and start system causes certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) to sound buzzer*1 in combination meter and wireless door lock buzzer, and illuminate information in order to alert driver.


      • Shift lever is not in P and power source mode is not off.

      • Shift lever is in P and power source mode is not off.

      • Occupant leaves with key.

      • Engine switch is operated while key is outside actuation area.

      • Entry lock is operated while key is inside vehicle.

      • Key battery is weak.

      • Key reminder sounds

      • Door is ajar*2

      Battery Saving

      If key is constantly located within actuation area of door electrical key oscillator, system maintains periodic communication with key. Therefore, if vehicle remains parked in that state for a long time, key battery and vehicle battery could be drained.

      For this reason, vehicle controls system to reduce drain on battery.

    *: w/ Power Back Door System

  7. ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION


    1. The detection area is formed by communication between a door electrical key oscillator and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when the door is locked in order to detect access of a person carrying the key.

    2. When a person carrying the key enters the detection area around the vehicle, the matching of the ID codes for a door electrical key oscillator and the key will automatically be performed. After the matching is completed, the door will enter unlock standby mode.

    3. In unlock standby mode, the antenna built into the outside handle starts sensing. If the outside handle is held (the inside of the door outside handle is touched), the door unlock operation will be performed. At this time, the hazard warning lights blink twice and the wireless door lock buzzer* sounds twice.

    4. If any of the doors are not opened after a door unlock operation, all doors will automatically lock after 30 seconds.


      • *: w/ Wireless Buzzer Function

  8. ENTRY LOCK FUNCTION


    1. After leaving the vehicle carrying the key, push the lock switch on the outside handle assembly or back door opener switch assembly when all doors are closed.

    2. The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) determines whether the key is located inside or outside the cabin based on the information from a door electrical key oscillator or outside electrical key oscillator, and indoor electrical key oscillator. Then matching of the ID codes is performed.

    3. When the matching result shows that the ID codes of the key and indoor electrical key oscillator do not match and the ID codes of the key, and door electrical key oscillator or outside electrical key oscillator match, the door lock function will operate. At this time, the hazard warning lights blink once and the wireless door lock buzzer* sounds once.

    4. If the key is located inside the cabin, the door lock function will not operate and the alarm buzzer* (beep sound) will sound for 2 seconds.


      • *: w/ Wireless Buzzer Function

  9. ENTRY BACK DOOR OPEN FUNCTION

    Stand in front of the back door with the key and push the back door opener switch assembly (opener switch) to start the matching of the ID codes for the outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side). If the ID codes match, the back door open operation will be performed.

  10. PREVENTION OF KEY CONFINEMENT FUNCTION

    If you attempt to lock the door through keyless operation (move the lock knob to the lock position and then close the door while holding the handle open) with the key in the cabin, the system determines that the key is located inside the cabin and unlocks the door.

  11. ENTRY ILLUMINATION FUNCTION

    When a person carrying the key enters the detection area, the door will enter unlock standby mode and the front map light will illuminate.

    Tech Tips

    The entry illumination function operates when the key enters the vehicle exterior detection area from outside the detection area. If the key does not remain out of the detection area for 3 seconds or more, the illumination function does not operate.

  12. ENTRY POWER WINDOW FUNCTION (REMOTE FUNCTION) (DOOR WINDOW)


    1. Pressing the front door handle (lock switch) for 3 seconds or more operates the door window close operation of all windows.

    2. If the entry power window function is operating and the front door handle (lock switch) is released, the entry power window operation will stop.

  15. BATTERY SAVING


    1. Vehicle Battery Saving Function

      In the smart entry and start system, signals are emitted outside of the vehicle at a prescribed interval (0.25 seconds) when the doors are locked. Therefore, the vehicle battery could be drained if the vehicle remains parked for a long time. For this reason, the controls listed below are affected:

      Condition Control

      Both conditions below are met for 5 days:


      • Key is not in detection area

      • Touch sensor or lock switch operation is not performed

      Signal transmission interval is extended from 0.25 to 0.75 seconds

      Both conditions below are met for 14 days:


      • Key is not in detection area

      • Touch sensor or lock switch operation is not performed

      The smart entry and start system is automatically deactivated

      Reinstatement Conditions


      • A wireless door lock control signal (lock, unlock) is input and the ID code matches.

      • A user carries the key and pushes a lock switch on a door outside handle assembly.

      • The driver door is locked or unlocked by the mechanical key.

    2. Key Battery and Vehicle Battery Saving Function

      In the smart entry and start system, if the key is constantly located within the vehicle exterior detection area of the doors, the system maintains periodic communication with the key. Therefore, if the vehicle remains parked in that state for a long time, the key battery and the vehicle battery could be drained. For this reason, if this state continues longer than 10 minutes, the smart entry and start system automatically becomes deactivated.

      Reinstatement Conditions


      • A wireless door lock control signal (lock, unlock) is input and the ID code matches.

      • A user carries the key and pushes a lock switch on a door outside handle assembly.

      • A door is locked or unlocked by the mechanical key.
