CAUTION:
If using a pacemaker, be sure to read the manual of the pacemaker before using the key, as the radio waves of the key may affect the pacemaker.


ENTRY AND START SYSTEM

  1. In addition to conventional mechanical key and wireless door lock control functions, the entry and start system enables door locking/unlocking, steering lock releasing, engine starting and luggage compartment door opening without operating the key. The only requirement is that the key is in the user's possession.

    1. This system is controlled by the certification ECU. When the certification ECU detects the presence of the entry and start system in one of the detection areas, it identifies and checks the ID code, and outputs operation signals to the related ECU in accordance with their functions.
    2. The detection areas are formed by 4 oscillators and 4 antennas (4 door oscillators, 2 luggage compartment antennas, and 2 indoor antennas).

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

  1. Key
    The key consists of a mechanical key, a transmitter function for the wireless door lock control and a transceiver for the entry and start system.

    1. The transceiver function for the entry and start system receives the signals from the oscillators and sends the ID code to the tuner.
    2. The transmitter function for the wireless door lock control has a LOCK switch, UNLOCK switch, LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT switch and PANIC switch (w/ PANIC switch).
    3. This mechanical key works for the driver door, luggage compartment door and glove box, but cannot start the engine.
    A total of 7 keys can be registered.

    1. w/o PANIC switch


      B108054E03


    1. w/ PANIC switch


      B108053E01

  2. Oscillator (each door oscillator, front and rear indoor antenna, luggage compartment inner antenna, luggage compartment outer antenna)
    Each oscillator transmits the request signal received from the certification ECU, and forms a key detection area to detect the presence of a key. The detection area formed by each door oscillator and luggage compartment outer antenna is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.3 to 3.3 ft.) from the outside handle of each door or the center of the rear bumper.

    1. The detection area of each door oscillator is formed by transmitting a request signal every 0.25 seconds while the engine switch is off and each door is locked. In this way, it detects the proximity of a key. During entry lock, the detection area is formed with the lock switch ON.
    2. The detection area of the luggage compartment outer antenna is formed when the power luggage door open switch is ON.
    3. The detection area of the indoor antenna (front and rear) is formed when the driver door is opened or closed, during start ignition, when a warning is activated, or when the lock switch is ON.
    4. The detection area of the luggage compartment inner antenna is formed when the luggage compartment door is closed or the luggage compartment open switch is pressed.

WIRELESS DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK AND LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN FUNCTION
Push the LOCK/UNLOCK/LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT/PANIC (w/ PANIC switch) switch on the key to operate each function.

ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION

  1. The detection area is formed by communication between a door oscillator and tuner when the door is locked in order to detect access of the person carrying the key.

  2. When the person carrying the key enters the detection area around the vehicle, the matching of the ID codes for a door oscillator and key will automatically be performed. After the matching is completed, the door will enter unlock standby mode.

  3. In unlock standby mode, the antenna built into the outside handle starts sensing. If the outside handle is held (the back side of the handle is touched), the door unlock operation will be performed. At this time, the hazard warning lights blink twice and the wireless door lock buzzer sounds twice.

  4. If any of the doors are not opened after a door unlock operation, all doors will automatically lock after 30 seconds.


ENTRY LOCK FUNCTION

  1. After leaving the vehicle carrying the key, push the lock switch on the outside handle when all the doors are closed.

  2. The certification ECU determines whether the key is located inside or outside of the cabin based on the information from a door oscillator and room oscillator. Then matching of the ID codes is performed.

  3. When the matching result shows that the ID codes of the key and indoor antenna do not match and the ID codes of the key and door oscillator match, the door lock function will operate. At this time, the hazard warning lights blink once and the wireless door lock buzzer sounds once.

  4. If the key is located inside of the cabin, the door lock function will not operate and the alarm buzzer (beep sound) will sound for 2 seconds.


ENTRY LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN FUNCTION
Stand in front of the luggage compartment with the key and push the power luggage door open switch to start the matching of the ID codes for the luggage compartment antenna (outer). If the ID codes match, luggage compartment door open operation will be performed.

PREVENTION OF KEY CONFINEMENT FUNCTION

  1. If you attempt to lock the door through keyless operation (move the lock knob to the lock position and then close the door) with the key in the cabin, the system determines that the key is located in the cabin and unlocks the door.

  2. If the luggage compartment is closed with the key in it, the alarm will sound and the luggage compartment can be opened only when all the doors are locked in order to prevent key confinement in the vehicle.


ENTRY ILLUMINATION FUNCTION
When a person carrying the key enters the detection area, the door will enter unlock standby mode and the front map light and door mirror foot light will illuminate.

HINT:
The entry illumination function operates when the key enters the vehicle exterior detection area from out of the detection area. If the key remains in the detection area for 3 seconds or more, the illumination function does not operate.


MEMORY CALL FUNCTION
When the engine switch is off and the driver door courtesy light is off, opening the door will operate the memory call function (the door will move to a previously recorded driving position). Using the key, memory call, key registration and key cancelation can be performed.
