ENTRY AND START SYSTEM GENERAL


  1. OUTLINE


    1. The entry and start system 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 engine switch while carrying the key. When the engine switch is pushed, the power management control ECU turns the ACC relay, IG1 relays and IG2 relay on or off to switch the power source pattern*


      • The power source pattern changes depending on depression of the brake pedal and the shift lever position.
      Start Function 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 key.
      Steering Lock The steering lock function is operated to lock and unlock the steering wheel by using a lock/unlock motor in the steering column assembly.
      Cranking Hold When the engine switch is pushed once with the brake pedal depressed, the cranking hold function turns on the ST relay, and starts the engine.
      Entry Function

      Entry Unlock:

      The doors unlock when a front outside door handle is gripped.


      • The driver door outside door handle unlocks the driver door.

      • The front passenger door outside door handle unlocks all doors and the back door.

      Entry Lock:

      All doors lock when the lock sensor on a front outside door handle is touched or if the back door lock switch is pushed.
      Entry Function Back Door Open Function The back door open function can be used to open the back door manually by simply pushing the back door opener switch.
      Wireless Door Lock Control The wireless door lock control function is a convenient system for locking and unlocking all the doors and back door at a distance. The basic operation is the same as that in the wireless door lock control system.

      *: 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 "engine switch off", "engine switch on (ACC)" and "engine switch on (IG)".
