PUSH-BUTTON START PRECAUTION


  1. PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note


    • After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

    • When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal while performing repairs, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

  2. DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER EXPRESSIONS


    1. The expressions listed in the table below are used in this section.

      Part Name in Manual Actual Part Name
      Door control receiver Door control and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly

  3. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING GTS


    1. When using the GTS with the power switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start(CAN). While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.

  4. PRECAUTION FOR REGISTRATION


    1. If replacing any of the following parts, refer to the Service Bulletin.


      1. Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)

      2. ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)

      3. Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU)

      4. Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly)

      5. Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly

      6. Power management control ECU

  5. PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is a precision instrument. Be sure to observe the following:


      1. Do not subject the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly to strong physical shocks.

      2. Do not keep the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in a high temperature area for a long time.

      3. Do not use an ultrasonic washing machine to clean the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      4. Do not use the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near any magnets or magnetized items.

      5. Do not place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near magnetic equipment, such as digital audio players, induction cookers, medical devices that generate low-frequency electromagnetic waves, etc.

      6. Do not attach any stickers to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      7. Do not disassemble the electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies.

      8. The mechanical key should only be used in an emergency, such as when the transmitter battery is depleted.

  6. PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSPECTING PUSH-BUTTON START


    1. General precaution for the push-button start:


      1. Always carry the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

    2. The push-button start may not operate normally or the key detection area may decrease in the following situations:


      1. The transmitter battery is depleted.

      2. There are TV towers, electric power plants, broadcasting stations, gas stations or other facilities that generate strong radio waves or electrical noise nearby.

      3. Wireless communication devices, such as walkie-talkies, cell phones, cordless telephones, digital audio players, portable game systems, etc., are carried together with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      4. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is covered by or in contact with objects made of metal, such as coins, certain types of cards, etc.

      5. Metallic film is applied to the rear window glass.

      6. A radio wave type keyless entry system or wireless remote is operated nearby.

      7. An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from another vehicle is nearby.

      8. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is placed near equipment that generates high-voltage or electrical noise.

    3. Operating range of the push-button start:


      1. Due to the body design, there are some areas in which proper system operation is difficult.

      2. Even if an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in a vehicle interior detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if it is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

      3. Depending on the way the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not operate properly.

    4. As weak radio waves are emitted from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, if a pacemaker is being used, be sure to read the pacemaker instruction manual.

    5. The push-button start will not operate under the following conditions.


      1. The procedures to cancel the push-button start are performed.

      2. There is no transmitter battery or the auxiliary battery is depleted (the LED of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly does not blink when an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch is pressed).
