The hazard answerback function that allows checking
the  lock/unlock  state  of  the  door  easily  even  in  the
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

ZC6000310001

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).
