OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Push-button start function:
When the key is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal 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 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.
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, the power source mode changes to on (ACC).
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, the power source mode changes to on (IG).

CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION
Check the push-button start function:
w/o Multi-information Display:
Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P, check that the smart warning light illuminates green when the brake pedal is depressed. Then check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the smart warning light illuminates green.
w/ Multi-information Display:
Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P, check that the smart warning light is displayed when the brake pedal is depressed. Then check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the smart warning light is displayed.
While the brake pedal 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
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, check that the steering lock operates when a door is opened.
Tech Tips
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.

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.
Condition 2
All of the following conditions are met:
The power source mode was not turned from on (IG) to on (ACC).
