6. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
 When auto active test has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn the ignition switch OFF.
 When auto active test is not activated, door swit ch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to DLK-117,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".

DOOR LOCK FUNCTION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006225842
Only when pressing the door request switch, it is possi ble to lock and unlock the door by carrying the Intelli-
gent Key.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
 When the BCM detects that each door request switch is pressed, it activates the outside key antenna and
inside key antenna corresponding to the pressed door reques t switch and transmits the request signal to the
Intelligent Key. And then, check that the Intelligent Key is near the door.
 If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key ant enna detection area, it receives the request signal and
transmits the key ID signal to the BCM via remote keyless entry receiver.
 BCM receives the key ID signal and compares it with the registered key ID.
 BCM locks/unlocks each doors (except back door).
 BCM sounds Intelligent Key warning buzzer (lock: 2 ti mes, unlock: 1 time) and blinks hazard warning lamps
(lock: 2 times, unlock: 1 time) at the same time as a reminder.
Key reminder The key reminder buzzer sounds a warning if the door is locked with the key left
inside the vehicle DLK-26

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY F UNCTION : System DiagramINFOID:0000000006225845
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY FUNCT ION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006225846
The Intelligent Key has the same functions as the remote control entry system. Therefore, it can be used in the
same manner as the remote controller by operating the door lock/unlock button.
OPERATION
Remote keyless entry system controls operation of the following items.
 Door lock/unlock function
 Selective unlock function
