VEHICLE AUXILIARY BATTERY SAVING FUNCTION
When the entry and start system (for Entry Function) is operating, the vehicle performs key detection operations every 0.25 seconds. Therefore, if the vehicle left as is for a long period of time, the auxiliary battery may become fully discharged. The following controls help reduce the rate at which the auxiliary battery is depleted.
If the hybrid system is not started for 5 days or more, periodic signal transmission from the electrical key antennas stops. However, the doors can still be unlocked by touching the unlock sensor of a front door outside handle assembly.
If the hybrid system is not started for 14 days or more, the lock and unlock sensors of the front passenger door outside handle assembly are disabled. Therefore, only the unlock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver door can be used to unlock the doors.
If 10 minutes or more elapse while the key is in the detection area (including the vehicle interior), entry and start system control stops operating.
To restore operation of the entry and start system, perform any of the following operations.
While carrying the key, touch the lock or unlock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver side door and perform a door lock or unlock operation.
Lock or unlock the doors with the wireless operation.
Insert the mechanical key into the door key cylinder of the driver door and lock or unlock the doors.
