System Outline

Door lock control (Lock and unlock) and panic control (Theft alarm and flash) is performed by remote control, using low-power electrical waves emitted by a transmitter and without the ignition key needing to be inserted in the door key cylinder.

  1. Normal Operation 

    * Lock operation

    When the lock button on the transmitter is pressed, all the doors are locked.

    * Unlock operation

    When the unlock button on the transmitter is pressed, the driver door will be unlocked.

    When the unlock SW is pressed again within 3 seconds, all the doors are unlocked.

  2. Auto Lock Function 

    If no doors are opened within 30 seconds of being unlocked by the unlock SW on the transmitter, all the doors are automatically re-locked. Further, if any of the following conditions are detected, the wireless door lock will not function.

    * When any door is open.

    * When the ignition key is inserted into the ignition SW.

    * When the lock detection SW of all the doors are locked.

  3. Wireless Door Lock Stop Function 

    If any of the following conditions are detected, the wireless door lock will not function.

    Lock operation

    * When any door is open (Door courtesy SW on)

    * When the ignition key is inserted into the ignition SW (Unlock warning SW on)

    * When the ignition SW is on

    Unlock operation

    * When the ignition SW is on

  4. Visual Confirmation of Lock or Unlock 

    During a lock operation, when the body ECU receives a lock signal from the door lock detection SW, the turn signal lights are flashed once. During an unlock operation, when the body ECU receives an unlock signal from the door lock detection SW, the turn signal lights are flashed twice.

  5. Remote Panic Operation 

    The panic operation will function regardless of whether the doors are locked or unlocked, or open or closed. When the panic button (Transmitter) is pushed once, the interior lights will light up, and the theft alarm and horn will sound and the turn signal lights, headlights and taillights flash. Then, if the panic or unlock button (Transmitter) is pushed once more, the interior lights will be turned off, and the sounding and flashing will stop. The panic operation will not function if the ignition key is in ignition key cylinder.

  6. Repeat Function 

    If the lock detection signal is not received after the body ECU has output a lock signal, then the lock signal will be output again.

  7. Illuminated Entry Function 

    When the body ECU detects that the doors have been unlocked after the unlock operation has been made, it turns on various lights, such as the interior light for approx. 15 sec. If all the doors are locked during this operation, the lighting will be cancelled and the lights immediately fade out.
