The Intelligent Key has the same functions as the remote control entry system. In addition to other safety fea-
tures, it can be used to lock and unlock all doors as well as open the back door.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION/DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTION
• When door lock/unlock button of the Intelligent Key is pressed, lock signal or unlock signal is transmitted from Intelligent Key to BCM via remote keyless entry receiver and Intelligent Key unit.
• When BCM receives the door lock/unlock signal, it oper ates door lock actuator, flashes the hazard lamp
(lock: 2 times, unlock: 1 time) and horn chirp signal to IPDM E/R at the same time as a reminder.
• IPDM E/R honks horn (lock: 2 times) as a reminder

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >[WITH INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM]
DOOR LOCK FUNCTION
• To ensure the Intelligent Key works effectively, us
e within 80 cm range of each doors, however the operable
range may differ according to surroundings.
SELECTIVE UNLOCK FUNCTION
When a LOCK signal is transmitted from Intelligent Key, all doors will be locked.
When an UNLOCK signal is transmitted from Inte lligent Key once, driver's door will be unlocked.
Then, if an UNLOCK signal is transmitted from Intell igent Key again within 5 seconds, all other doors will be
unlocked.
When a liftgate signal is transmitted from Intelligent Key for more than 0.5 second, the back door operates to
the full open position. After opening, another signal will cause the back door to close.
HAZARD AND HORN REMINDER FUNCTION
When doors are locked or unlocked by Intelligent Key, BCM flashes hazard warning lamps as a reminder and
sends horn chirp signal to IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R sounds horn as a reminder.
The hazard and horn reminder has a horn chirp mode (C mode) and a non-horn chirp mode (S mode).
Operating function of hazard and horn reminder
Hazard and horn reminders do not operate if any door switch is ON (any door is OPEN).
How to change hazard and horn reminder mode
With CONSULT-III
Refer to DLK-56, "
CONSULT-III Function (INTELLIGENT KEY)".
Without CONSULT-III
Refer to Owner's Manual for instructions.
AUTO DOOR LOCK FUNCTION
Auto Door Lock Function
When all doors are locked, ignition switch is OFF (ignition switch is not pressed) and key switch is OFF, doors
are unlocked with Intelligent Key button. When BCM does not receive the following signals within 30 seconds,
all doors are locked.
• Door switch is ON (door is opened)
• Door is locked
• Ignition switch is ON
• Key switch is ON (mechanical key is inserted in ignition key cylinder)
Auto door lock mode can be changed by DOOR LOCK -UNLOCK SET mode in “WORK SUPPORT”. Refer to
DLK-52, "
DOOR LOCK : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - DOOR LOCK)".
PANIC ALARM FUNCTION
When ignition switch is OFF (ignition switch is not pr essed) and key switch is OFF, BCM receives PANIC
ALARM signal from Intelligent Key through the remote keyless entry receiver and the Intelligent Key unit.
BCM turns on and off headlamp intermittently and transmits theft warning horn signal to IPDM E/R. Then,
IPDM E/R turns on and off horn intermittently.
The headlamp flashes and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off:
• After 25 seconds
• When BCM receives any signal from Intelligent Key
Panic alarm function mode can be changed by PANIC ALARM SET mode in “WORK SUPPORT”. Refer to
DLK-56, "
CONSULT-III Function (INTELLIGENT KEY)".
KEYLESS POWER WINDOW DOWN (OPEN) FUNCTION
Front power windows (with left and right front power window anti-pinch system) open when the unlock button
on Intelligent Key is activated and kept pressed for more than 3 seconds with the ignition switch OFF. The win-
dows keep opening if the unlock button is continuously pressed.
The power window opening stops when the following operations are performed:
• When the unlock button is kept pressed more than 15 seconds.
• When the ignition switch is turned ON while the power window opening is operated.
• When the unlock button is released.

ROOM LAMP ILLUMINATION OPERATION
When the following conditions are met:
• Condition of interior lamp switch is in DOOR position
• Door switch OFF (all the doors are closed)
Intelligent Key system turns on interior lamp (for 30 seconds) by receiving UNLOCK signal from Intelligent
Key. For detailed description, refer to DLK-21, "

BACK DOOR OPENER FUNCTION
Power Liftgate Switch O
peration (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)
• When the power liftgate switch is pressed, back door control unit terminal 23 receives the signal.
• The back door control unit checks the A/T shift sele ctor (P) position through terminal 18, vehicle speed
through terminal 21, ignition status through terminal 7, glass hatch is closed through terminal 17 and battery
voltage is present through terminal 3.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a 5 volt signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime, sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps and unlocks the back door latch through ter-
minal 12.
• The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and moves the back door in the open direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)
• When the back door is opened to the full-open position, the full-open position is detected by the encoder, and the back door control unit switches the back door motor OFF and the magnetic clutch is pulsed and then
turned OFF.

Back Door Handle Switch Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)
• When the back door handle is pulled, back door control unit terminal 26 receives the signal.
• The back door control unit checks that the back door is unlocked and checks the A/T shift selector (P) posi-
tion through terminal 18, vehicle speed through terminal 21, ignition status through terminal 7, glass hatch is
closed, battery voltage and back door close switch position through terminal 13.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if all auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a 5 volt signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime, sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps and unlocks the back door latch through ter-
minal 12.
• The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and moves the
back door in the open direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch

turned OFF.
• The back door is held in the fully open position by the gas stays.
Power Liftgate Switch Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)
• When the power liftgate switch is pressed, the ba ck door control unit terminal 23 receives the signal.
• The back door control units checks door position through the rotary encoder.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime and sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps.
• The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the back door in the close direction. (At this time, it al so executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

• When the back door reaches the half-latch state, the half- latch switch detects this and the signal is sent to
the back door control unit terminal 22.
• When the back door control unit receives the half latch switch signal, it switches OFF the back door motor
and the magnetic clutch and operates the cinch latch motor.
• When the back door latch operates and full close is det ected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door aut\
o closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.

or back door close switch is operated. A chime will sound to announce the reversal.
Anti-Pinch Function
• During auto operation, if an object is detected in the door's path, a warning chime sounds and the back door
operates in the reverse direction to prevent pinching.
• During auto close operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, a warning chime sounds and the back door operates in the open direction until it is fully open.
Gas Stay Check
• During each power open operation, the back door control unit monitors motor current draw to determine ifthe gas stays are functioning properly.
• If a malfunction of the gas stays is detected, the back door control unit will close the back door while sound-
ing the warning chime. The back door cannot be opened usi ng the switches until the gas stay malfunction is
repaired.
Warning Functions
• The hazard warning lamps flash and a warning chime is sounded according to the back door operating state,
operations, and conditions.
