ENTRY AND START SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. The entry and start system*1 has the following main functions, making it a very user-friendly system.

      Function Outline
      Start Function

      • The start function is operated by simply pushing the power switch while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. When the power switch is pushed, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) turns the ACC relay, IG1 relays and IG2 relay on or off to switch the power source pattern.*2


        • The power source pattern changes depending on depression of the brake pedal and the shift state.
      Engine Immobiliser The engine immobiliser function compares the ID code that is registered in the ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) with the ID code of the transponder chip that is embedded in the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
      Steering Wheel Lock The steering wheel lock function is operated to lock and unlock the steering wheel by using a lock/unlock mechanism in the steering column assembly.
      Entry Function*3

      • The entry functions described below can be enabled while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

      • Entry Unlock:

      • The driver's door and the back door unlock in the following situation:


        • Either of the front outside door handle is gripped.

        • The back door opener switch located on the back door opener switch assembly is pressed.

      • Entry Lock:

      Tech Tips

      *1: In this chapter, the expression "entry and start system" is used to describe both the entry and start system and the entry and start system without the entry functions.

      *2: In this chapter, the expression "power source" has been used in some locations to allow precise explanations. The power source condition is also expressed using conventional expressions such as "power switch off", "power switch on (ACC)" and "power switch on (IG)".
