System Outline

The door lock control is a system controlled by various signals input into the integration relay.

  1. Manual Unlock Operation 

    When the door lock control SW of the driver's or passenger's side door is pushed to UNLOCK, the door unlocks.

  2. Manual Lock Operation 

    When the door lock control SW of the driver's or passenger's side door is pushed to LOCK, the door locks.

  3. Door Key Unlock Operation 

    * Unlock operation from driver's side door

    When the driver's side door is unlocked once using the mechanical key, only the driver's side door unlocks. If this operation is repeated within 3 seconds, all the other doors also unlock.

  4. Ignition Key Reminder Operation 

    Under condition that the ignition key remains inserted in the ignition key cylinder and driver's side door is open, locking operation with door knob of driver's door is not effective but automatically unlocks the door. When the door is locked with the manual door lock SW of driver's door or door key SW of driver's door, the door locks once but right after that, the door unlocks automatically.



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

  1. Normal Operation 
    • Lock operation

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

    • Unlock operation

      When the unlock SW on the transmitter is pressed once, only the driver door is unlocked. When the unlock SW is pressed again within 3 seconds, all the doors are unlocked.

  2. Auto Lock Function 

    When the door is not actually opened within 30 seconds after the door has been unlocked by the unlock SW on the transmitter, all the doors are automatically locked. If any of the following conditions are detected, the wireless door lock does not function.

    • Any door is opened.
    • The ignition key is inserted into the ignition SW.
    • When the lock detection SW of the door is locked.

  4. Visual Confirmation of Lock or Unlock 

    During lock operation, when the integration relay receives a lock signal from the door lock detection SW, the turn signal lamp is flashed once. During unlock operation, when the integration relay receives an unlock signal from the door lock detection SW, the turn signal lamp is flashed twice.

  5. Remote Panic Operation 

    Panic will function when doors are locked or unlocked, open or closed. When the panic button (Transmitter) is pushed once, map lamp, room lamp (Center) and ignition key cylinder lamp light up, and theft alarm and horn sounds and turn signal lamp, headlamp and taillamp flash. Then, the panic, the lock or the unlock button (Transmitter) is pushed once more, map lamp, room lamp (Center) and ignition key cylinder lamp are turned off, sounding and flashing will stop. Panic will not function when ignition key is in ignition key cylinder.

  6. Repeat Function 

    If the lock detection signal in response to the output signal is not received after the integration relay has output the lock signal, the lock signal is output again.

  7. Illuminated Entry Function 

    When the integration relay detects the unlock state after the unlock operation has been made, it turns on the lamps, such as the map lamp, room lamp (Center) and ignition key cylinder lamp for approx. 15 sec. If all the doors are locked during this operation, lighting is cancelled and the lamps immediately fade out.
