DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND
OPERATION

.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING

• All the doors can be locked/unlocked, using the

driver’s side door lock switch or the passenger’s
side door lock switch.

• The function that allows the driver's door to be

opened by pulling the driver's door inside handle
even when the driver's door inside lock knob is in
the lock position is called "override function".

•

When the door is locked by the driver’s or pas-
senger’s door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU oper-
ates its door lock relay and passes a current
through the door lock actuators of all the doors
for 0.25 second to lock all the doors.
When the door is unlocked by the driver’s or pas-
senger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU oper-
ates its door unlock relay and passes a current
through the door lock actuators of all the doors
for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors.

When the door is locked and unlocked by driver’s
or passenger's door lock switch consecutively,
the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and
passes a current through the door lock actuators
of all the doors for 0.25 second to lock all the
doors. Then, the ETACS-ECU operates its door
unlock relay and passes a current through the
door lock actuators of all the doors for 0.25 sec-
ond to unlock all the doors. Due to this, there may
be a time lag between the driver’s or passenger's
door lock switch actuation and the time when all
the doors are unlocked.

.

SELECTOR "P" POSITION-LINKED DOOR
UNLOCKING FUNCTION

• When the selector lever is shifted to the "P" (park-

ing) position with the ignition switch turned ON,
all the doors will be unlocked automatically,
improving passengers' convenience for getting
out. Using a customization feature, the selector
"P" position-linked door unlocking function can be
switched (Refer to

P.42A-26

).

•

When the selector lever is shifted to the P posi-
tion with the ignition switch turned ON, the inhibi-
tor switch "P" turns ON, ETACS-ECU turns the
unlock relay output ON for 0.25 seconds to
unlock all the doors.

DIRECT COMBINATION KEY CYLINDER
MECHANISM

•

The impact of a side collision is not easily trans-
ferred to the door latch with the doors unlocked
(to prevent passengers from falling out of the
vehicle).
Even if any door key cylinder is attempted to be
tampered with the doors locked, the tampering
force is not easily transferred to the door latch, to
deter thieves.

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND
OPERATION

.

POWER WINDOW SYSTEM

The power window main switch has a waterproofing
structure which prevents water (such as rain drops)
from entering from above. Should water enter, it is
drained through the hole located on the lower area of
the switch, and no water may be accumulated.

.

POWER WINDOW SWITCH

The power window switch has a push-pull operation
method to enhance safety. To open a door window
glass, press in the switch knob; and to close, pull it
up.

.

SAFETY MECHANISM (DRIVER'S DOOR
ONLY)

• The power window with the safety mechanism

has been adopted to enhance safety. If any
obstacle such as a hand or a head is detected to
be pinched during a door window glass closing
operation, the door window glass is opened by
approximately 150 mm (6.0 inches). The safety
mechanism is activated when the power window
switch is operated by one-touch closing operation
(the status when the hand is released from the
switch knob after one-touch closing operation).

• To prevent anyone from intruding into the vehicle,

by performing the manual-closing operation of
the power window switch, or by continuing the
one-touch closing operation (keep pulling up the
switch knob), the door window glass can be forc-
ibly closed without safety mechanism activation
even when the obstacle is detected to be
pinched.

• When the power window switch manual-closing

or one-touch closing operation is performed acci-
dentally, and an obstacle is detected, the power
window switch manual-closing and one-touch
closing operations are prohibited for 3 seconds
after the obstacle has been detected to be
pinched, and activates the safety mechanism.

.

POWER WINDOW TIMER FUNCTION

Even after the ignition is switched off, the
ETACS-ECU keeps the power window relay acti-
vated for approximately 30 seconds, enabling raising
or lowering of the power windows by using the power
window switches. After approximately 30 seconds,
the power window relay is deactivated.
During this timed operation, if the driver’s or passen-
ger’s doors are opened, the power window relay is
deactivated from that moment.

.

POWER WINDOW LOCK SWITCH

The driver power window switch is equipped with the
lock switch. This switch disables the opening/closing
operation of the door window glass using each pas-
senger's power window switch and rear power win-
dow switch.
