Function
Outline
Start Function
The start function is operated by simply pushing the power switch while carrying the key. When the power 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.*2
The power source pattern changes depending on depression of the brake pedal and the shift position.
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.
Shift Lock
The shift lock function is operated to lock and unlock the shift control by using a shift lock control actuator assembly in the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.
Entry Function*3
The entry functions described below can be enabled while carrying the key.
Entry Unlock:
All the doors 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.

*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)".
