System Outline

Door lock control (Lock and unlock) and panic control (Theft alarm and flash) is performed by remote control, without the ignition key needing to be 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 

    If 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 re-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.

  3. Wireless Door Lock Stop Function 

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

    Lock operation

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

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

    * Ignition SW is on

    Unlock operation

    * Ignition SW is on

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

  5. Remote Panic Operation 

    The panic operation will function regardless of whether the doors are locked or unlocked, open or closed. When the panic button (Transmitter) is pushed once, the map lamp, room lamp (Center) and ignition key cylinder lamp light up, and the theft alarm and horn sound and the turn signal lamps, headlamps and tail lamps flash. Then, if the panic, lock or unlock buttons (Transmitter) are pushed once more, the map lamp, room lamp (Center) and ignition key cylinder lamp will be turned off, the horn, alarm and light sounding and flashing will stop. The panic operation will not function if the ignition key is in the 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.
