• Intelligent Key has 2 IDs (for Intelligent Key and for NATS). It can perform the door lock/unlock operation and
the engine start operation when the registered Intelligent Key is carried.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it can be used as emergency back-up by inserting the
mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key to the ignition key cylinder. At that time, perform the NATS ID verifi-
cation. If it is used when the Intelligent Key is carried, perform the Intelligent Key ID verification.
• If the ID is successfully verified, and when the igniti on knob switch is pressed, steering lock will be released
and initiating the engine will be possible.
• The door lock/unlock operation can be performed when t he Intelligent Key battery is discharged, by operat-
ing the driver door key cylinder using the mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key.
• Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (including the standard Intelligent Key) on request from the owner.
NOTE:
• Refer to DLK-21, "
INTELLIGENT KEY : S ystem Description" for any functions other than engine start func-
tion of Intelligent Key system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
• For vehicles equipped with the In telligent Key system, the transponder [the chip for NATS ID verifi-
cation] is integrated into the Inte lligent Key. Therefore, the Intelligent Key alone is capable of provid-
ing security clearance for the engine to start. Al so, when the mechanical key alone is inserted into
the key cylinder, performs the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start. For vehicles without
Intelligent Key system, the transponder is integrated into the mechanical key which must be inserted
into the key cylinder to perform the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start.
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
1. When the ignition knob switch is ON, the Intelligent Key unit transmits the request signal to the Intelligent
Key.
2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to the Intelligent Key unit.
3. The Intelligent Key unit receives the Intelligent Ke y ID signal and verifies it with the registered ID.
4. Intelligent Key unit transmits the steering lock/unlock signal to steering lock solenoid if the verification
results are OK. For detail of key warning message operation, refer to DLK-38, "
System Description".
5. Release of the steering lock.
6. BCM transmits the starter request signal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition is satisfied.
7. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
8. When shift position is in P or N position, battery power is supplied through the starter relay and operate the starter motor and to start the cranking.
CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligen t Key system, the “KEY” warning message will be dis-
played in the combination meter. At th at time, the engine cannot be started.
OPERATION RANGE
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
OPERATION WHEN MECHANICAL KEY IS USED
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, performs the NATS ID verification between the integrated tran-
sponder and BCM by inserting the mechanical key into the key cylinder, and then the engine can be started.
For details relating to starting the engine using mechanical key, refer to SEC-14, "
System Description".
STEERING LOCK OPERATION
Steering is locked by steering lock solenoid when ignition switch is in the LOCK position (the ignition knob is
released) and key switch is OFF (key is removed from ignition key cylinder).
