daytime is installed. When the LOCK signal from the
keyless operation key is input to ETACS-ECU via
receiver antenna module, all doors (including liftgate)
are locked and the hazard warning light flashes once.
When UNLOCK signal is input, all doors (including
liftgate) are unlocked and the hazard warning light
flashes twice.

When LOCK signal from the keyless operation key is
input to the ETACS-ECU via receiver antenna
module, all doors are locked and the dome light will
turn off*. When UNLOCK signal is input, all doors are
unlocked and the dome light illuminates for 15
seconds. The dome light fades in, keeps on, and

fades out in 15 seconds after the door unlock relay is
operated.

NOTE:

*: If doors are locked with the keyless

operation key when the dome light is ON while
doors are opened, the dome light is switched off
in 1.2 seconds. In addition, if doors are locked
with the keyless operation key when the dome light
is OFF, the dome light does not work.

When the lock signal from the keyless operation key
is received into ETACS-ECU via receiver antenna
module, all doors are locked and the horn sounds. If
the driver's door cannot be locked even when the
keyless operation key is operated, the horn does not
sound.

KEYLESS ENTRY TIMER LOCK TIME
When none of the doors is opened within 30 seconds
after the doors are unlocked by the keyless entry
system, ETACS-ECU automatically outputs the door
lock signal to lock the doors. This function prevents
the doors (including the liftgate) from being unlocked
unexpectedly by operation errors. Using a
customization function, the timer lock period can be
changed (Refer to P.42B-29).

OPERATION INHIBITION CONDITIONS
The operation of the system is inhibited when:

｠

The ignition key is in the ignition switch.

｠

Any door or the liftgate is open (door switch is ON).
(including door ajar)

SECURITY ALARM

The security alarm function is based on the door lock
operation by the keyless entry system or KOS. The
function warns when the doors (including the liftgate)
are opened by any operation other than the keyless
entry system or KOS. Using a customization function,
the security alarm can be enabled/disabled (Refer
to P.42B-29). This customization function is
described in the owner’s manual.

Hood latch switch

The hood latch switch has been provided to the hood
latch. When the hood latch is operated, the hood latch
switch detects this and sends a signal to ETACS-
ECU.

When carrying the keyless operation key, a driver can
start/stop the engine by operating the IG knob, without
using the ignition key.

OPERATION

WHEN THE USER IS CARRYING THE KEYLESS
OPERATION KEY

1.

Press the IG knob on the steering lock, and the
push switch inside the steering lock is turned ON.

2.

When the push switch inside the steering lock is
turned ON, KOS-ECU activates the interior
transmitter antenna assembly to send the
transmitter signal to the keyless operation key.

3.

On receiving the transmitter signal from KOS-
ECU, the keyless operation key performs the
keyless operation key certification and the
encrypted code calculation, and sends the keyless
operation key ID data to KOS-ECU. (The keyless
operation key cannot receive the transmitter signal

from KOS-ECU when it is not located within the
engine starting function valid area P.42B-22.)

4.

The receiver antenna receives the signal from the
keyless operation key, and then KOS-ECU
compares the keyless operation key ID data sent
from the key with the one registered in it.

5.

When these data coincide, KOS-ECU sends the
IG knob unlock signal to the steering lock unit
inside the steering lock.

42B-20

KEYLESS OPERATION SYSTEM (KOS)

SYSTEM OPERATION

6.

On receiving the IG knob unlock signal, the
steering lock unit performs processing (verification
of the KOS ID, etc.) based on the received data.
When no problem is found during the processing,
the unit sends the OK status signal to KOS-ECU,
and at the same time, electrically disengages the
steering lock mechanism to make the IG knob
rotatable.

7.

When a keyless operation key certification
agreement memory "exists"*1in KOS-ECU when it
received the OK status signal from the steering
lock

unit,

the

engine

start

permission

communication

(CAN

communication)

is

performed between KOS-ECU and the engine
ECU by turning the IG knob from the ACC position
to the ON/START position, and the engine starts.
If the keyless operation key certification
agreement memory "does not exist"*2, the engine
does not start.

NOTE:

*1: The keyless operation key certification
agreement memory "exists" means that a
registered keyless operation key has been
recognized during the keyless operation key
certification communication.
*2: When the keyless operation key certification
agreement memory "does not exist," the
"keyless operation key bringing-out monitoring
function" and the "keyless operation key
replacement monitoring function" (keyless
operation key monitoring controls) have judged
that the keyless operation key has been carried
out of the vehicle with the IG knob in the LOCK
(OFF) position while turning ON the push switch
or in the ACC, ON, or START position.

KEYLESS OPERATION KEY TAKE OUT
MONITORING FUNCTION
To prevent the engine from started when the keyless
operation key is carried out of the vehicle with the IG
knob in the LOCK (OFF) position and the push switch
OFF,

KOS-ECU

performs

the

certification

communication with the keyless operation key inside
the vehicle and monitors if it is carried out of the
vehicle.
When none of the registered keyless operation keys
(up to four) respond during the communication, KOS-
ECU determines that the key has been brought out of
the car, and the keyless operation key certification
agreement memory "does not exist," and does not
permit starting of the engine.

NOTE:

The monitoring function is inhibited when:

｠

The keyless operation key certification agreement
memory "does not exist" from the start.

｠

The emergency key is in the IG knob.

｠

The IG knob is in LOCK (OFF) position and the push
switch is OFF.

｠

The vehicle is judged running (shift lever in "P" or
"N", or vehicle speed is 6 km/h or higher).

KEYLESS OPERATION KEY REPLACEMENT
MONITORING FUNCTION
If the keyless operation key carrying-out monitoring
function once detects that the key has been carried
out of the vehicle with the IG knob in the LOCK (OFF)
position and with the push switch in other than OFF,
and then the key is brought into the vehicle, the engine
must be started when the IG knob is turned to the ON
or START position. For this purpose, KOS-ECU
performs the certification communication with the
keyless operation key inside the vehicle every 5
seconds to monitor the replacement of the keyless
operation key. When any of the registered keyless
operation keys sends a respond, KOS-ECU
determines that the key has been brought into the
vehicle (replaced), and sets the keyless operation key
certification agreement memory to "exist," and
permits starting of the engine.

NOTE:

The monitoring function is inhibited when:

｠

The keyless operation key certification agreement
memory "exists" from the start.

｠

The emergency key is in the IG knob.

｠

The IG knob is in LOCK (OFF) position and the push
switch is OFF.

｠

The vehicle is judged running (shift lever in "P" or
"N", or vehicle speed is 6 km/h or higher).
