1. Push-button start function:
   
   

   1. When the key is in the detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal is depressed, the hybrid control system is started by pressing the power switch.
      

   2. When the key is in the detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal is not depressed, the power source mode is changed by pressing the power switch. The power source mode changes in the following order every time the power switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
      

   3. After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the power switch is off, if the power switch is pressed while not depressing the brake pedal, the power source mode changes to on (ACC) and the power switch indicator illuminates in amber.
      

   4. After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the power switch is off, if the brake pedal is depressed while park (P) is selected, the power switch indicator illuminates in green.
      

   5. The hybrid control system starts if the power switch is pressed when the power switch indicator is illuminated in green.
      

2. Changing the power source mode when the key does not operate correctly due to wave interference or key battery depletion:
   
   

   1. Unlock the door using the built-in mechanical key and get into the vehicle while carrying the key.
      

   2. While depressing the brake pedal, hold the ornament side of the key against the power switch.
      

   3. When a buzzer sound is heard from the buzzer in the combination meter, release the brake pedal within 10 seconds. By pressing the power switch while not depressing the brake pedal, the power source mode changes in the following order every time the power switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
      

3. Starting the hybrid control system when the key does not operate correctly due to wave interference or key battery depletion:
   
   

   1. Unlock the door using the built-in mechanical key and get into the vehicle while carrying the key.
      

   2. While depressing the brake pedal with park (P) selected, hold the ornament side of the key against the power switch.
      

   3. When a buzzer sound is heard from the buzzer in the combination meter and the power switch indicator illuminates in green, press the power switch within 10 seconds while keeping the brake pedal depressed to start the hybrid control system.
      

1. Check the push-button start function:
   
   

   1. Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the power switch off. With park (P) selected, check that the power switch indicator illuminates in green when the brake pedal is depressed. Then check that the hybrid control system starts when the power switch is pressed after the power switch indicator illuminates in green.
      

   2. 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 power switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
      

      HINT:

      When the power switch is pressed with the power switch on (IG) and park (P) selected, the power source mode changes to off.

   
   
   

   3. Check the push-button start 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 hybrid control system can be started.

      *a	Inspection Point

      NOTICE:

      1. Even if the key is in the 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.
         
      2. If the key is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the shift position, communication may not be possible.
         

      HINT:

      Perform this inspection for both inspection points.

   
   
   

   4. Check the push-button start operation range for the rear 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 hybrid control system can be started.

2. Check the push-button start cancel function.
   
   

   1. Cancel the push-button start system and check that all the functions of the push-button start system no longer operate.
      

      HINT:

      1. Refer to the following procedures to cancel the push-button start system (Click here).
         
      2. While the push-button start system is canceled, the push-button start system can be operated by holding the key against the power switch.
         

   2. While the push-button start cancel function is on, check that all functions of the push-button start system cannot be operated.
      

1. Check the power switch.

   Indicator Inspection 

   Power Switch	Indicator
   Off (Excludes condition in which hybrid control system can be started)	Off
   On (ACC) (Excludes condition in which hybrid control system can be started)	Illuminated in amber
   On (IG) (Excludes condition in which hybrid control system can be started)	Illuminated in amber
   Condition in which hybrid control system can be started*	Illuminated in green
   Hybrid control system started	Off

   HINT:

   *: Conditions in which hybrid control system can be started is as follows: 

   The hybrid control system can be started by pressing the power switch when all of the following conditions are met.

   The key is verified*. Park (P) is selected. The stop light switch is on.

   1. *: When the key is in the vehicle, the ID code sent as a result from communication between the key and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), and the ID code calculated by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) are compared. If the ID codes match each other, the vehicle recognizes that the key is in the vehicle.
      
   
   

   1. Indicator Condition Chart
      
      

      Indicator	Vehicle State
      Off	Either condition is met: The hybrid control system is starting. The power switch is off and the vehicle is in a state in which the hybrid control system does not start if the power switch is pressed.
      Illuminated in green	All conditions below are met and the vehicle is in a state in which the hybrid control system can be started if the power switch is pressed: The key is inside the vehicle, the stop light switch is on and park (P) is selected.
