OVERVIEW AND OPERATION PROCESS
1. OVERVIEW
The RKSTICS (REKES + STICS (Super Time & Integrated Control System)) communicates
with the transmitter (remote controller) and other electronic systems to transmit and receive the
data.
The STICS also includes a diagnosis function that can inspect the error for related devices.
2. MAJOR CHANGES
Integration of Auto Light Sensor and Rain Sensor
The auto light sensor integrated rain sensor communicates with STICS.
Auto Washer Coupled Wiper
When pressing the auto washer switch, the washer fluid is sprayed on the windshield and the
wiper sweeps off 4 times, and then the washer fluid is sprayed and the wiper sweeps off 3
times again.
Communication with SPWM
The communication with SPWM is added due to the introduction of easy access function to
SPWM.

dimming operation.
The front room lamp comes on for 30 seconds when receiving the unlock signal from the
remote control key while the doors are closed.
The front room lamp and the center room lamp output period is extended by 30 seconds
when receiving the unlock signal from the remote control key again during output. (The
lamp stays on when unlocked by the remote control key.)
When a door is opened during its extended period, the lamp stays on. If closed, operates as
in step 2.
The room lamp output stops immediately after receiving the lock signal from
driver's/passenger's door lock switches while the driver's and passenger's doors are closed
or entering into the anti-theft mode by pushing LOCK button on the remote control key.

Description of Burglar Alarm Function
1. Armed mode activation requirements
1) The "LOCK" output is "ON" when receiving the "LOCK" signal from transmitter while the
ignition key is removed and all doors are closed. The armed mode is activated when the doo
r
lock switch is locked (hazard relay output: twice).
2) The theft deterrent horn and hazard relay outputs are "ON" when receiving the "LOCK"
signal from the remote control key again in armed mode (hazard relay output: twice).
3) When receiving "LOCK" signal from the remote control key while any of doors is not closed,
only the "LOCK" output can be done and then activates the armed ready mode (without hazard
warning flasher). At this moment, if the ignition key is in the ignition switch, the door unlock
switch is turned "ON" or the door lock switch is unlocked, it cancels the armed mode and
activates the normal mode. However, when closing and locking the opened door, the hazard
warning lamps flash twice.
4) When the door is not opened or the ignition key is not inserted into ignition switch for 30
seconds after receiving "UNLOCK" signal, it outputs "LOCK" and then activates armed mode
(RELOCK operation). Also, at this moment, the system outputs the hazard warning flashe
r
twice.
5) The armed mode will not be activated except above conditions.
Ex) The armed mode will not be activated when the door is locked by the ignition key.
