INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
If the moonroof does not open or clos e automatically, use the following procedure to return moonroof opera-
tion to normal.
NOTE:
If the moonroof switch is released at any time duri ng step 4, the procedure must be started over again. Leave
the ignition switch ON for at least 2 seconds after this procedure.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Hold the moonroof switch in the tilt up position. Release the switch when the moonroof has reached the
full tilt up position.
3. Hold the moonroof switch in the tilt up position agai n. After a delay, the moonroof will backup. Release the
switch.
4. Within 4 seconds of releasing the switch in step 3, hold the moonroof switch in the tilt up position again.
The moonroof will move from the full tilt-up → slide-close → slide-open → slide-close → tilt-up → slide-
close. Release the switch, initialization is complete if the moonroof operates normally.
ANTI-PINCH FUNCTION
1. Fully open the moonroof to the full open position.
2. Place a piece of wood at the fully closed position.
3. Close the moonroof completely with auto-slide close function.
4. Moonroof should make contact and then tilt up in reverse for 100mm (3.94 in.) (approx.).
CAUTION:
• Do not test the anti-pinch functi on with your hands or other part of body parts because they may be
pinched.
• Depending on environment and drivin g conditions, if a similar impact or load is applied to the moon-
roof it may lower.
• Test the auto-slide operation before inspectio n when the system initialization is performed.
• Perform the initialization proced ure when the auto-slide operation or anti-pinch function does not
operate normally.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof/headlining area c an often be traced to one of the following:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)
Overhead console noises are often caused by the c onsole panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the c onsole at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:
1. Loose harness or harness connectors.
2. Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.
3. Loose screws at console attachment points.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it's important to note the pos ition the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be dupl icated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component installed to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator installation pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine rpm or
load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

SYSTEM
NOTE:
Refer to DLK-23, "INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description"
for any functions other than engine
start function of Intelligent Key system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
The transponder [the chip for NVIS (NATS) ID verifi cation] is integrated into the Intelligent Key.
In that case, the NVIS (NATS) ID verification can be performed when Intelligent Key backside is con-
tacted to push-button ignition switch. If verification result is OK, engine can be started.
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
1. When the push-button ignition switch is pressed, the BCM activates the inside key antenna and 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 BCM.
3. BCM receives the Intelligent Key ID signal via remote keyless entry receiver and verifies it with the regis-
tered ID.
4. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits the ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
5. IPDM E/R turns the ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
6. BCM detects that the selector leve r position and brake pedal operating condition.
7. BCM transmits the starter request signal to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.
8. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
9. Power supply is supplied through the starter relay and the starter control relay to operate the starter motor. CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligent Key system, the “KEY” warning lamp in the combina-
tion meter illuminates. At that ti me, the engine cannot be started.
10. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indicati ng that the engine is started, the BCM transmits a
stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning OFF the starter motor relay. (If engine start is
unsuccessful, cranking stops autom atically within 5 seconds.)
CAUTION:
When the Intelligent Key is carri ed outside of the vehicle (inside key antenna detection area) while
the power supply is in the ACC or ON position, even if the engine start condition* is satisfied, the
engine cannot be started.
*: For the engine start condition, refer to the tabl e below “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION”.
OPERATION RANGE
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine may not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH
When Intelligent Key battery is discharged, the NVIS (NATS) ID verification between transponder in Intelligent
Key and BCM is performed when Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch. If the
verification result is OK, engine can be started.
POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERA-
TION
The power supply position changing operation c an be performed with the following operations.
NOTE:
• When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna and when Intelligent Key backside
is contacted to push-button ignition switch, it is equivalent to the operations below.
• When starting the engine, the BCM monitors under the engine start conditions:
- Brake pedal operating condition
- Selector lever position
- Vehicle speed
Vehicle speed: less than 4 km/h (2.5 MPH)

NOTE:
• BCM ignores the door key cylinder UNLOCK switch signal input for 1 second after the door key cylinder LOCK switch signal input .
• To lock/unlock all doors by operating remote controller button of Intelligent Key or door request switch (if equipped), Intell igent Key
must be within the detection area of outside key antenna. For details, refer to DLK-21, "System Description"
.
• To open trunk by operating trunk opener switch, Intelligent Key must be within the detection area of outside key antenna. For details,
refer to DLK-41, "System Description"
.
DISARMED Phase
The vehicle security system is not set in the DISAR MED phase. The vehicle security system stays in this
phase while any door is open because it is assumed that the owner is inside or nearby the vehicle. Security
indicator lamp blinks every 2.4 seconds.
When the vehicle security system is reset, eac h phase switches to the DISARMED phase directly.
PRE-ARMED Phase
The PRE-ARMED phase is the transient state bet ween the DISARMED phase and the ARMED phase. This
phase is maintained for 30 seconds so that the owner c an reset the setting due to a mis-operation. This phase
switches to the ARMED phase when vehicle conditions are not changed for 30 seconds. Security indicator
lamp illuminates while being in this phase.
To reset the PRE-ARMED phase, refer to the s witching condition of No. 10 in the table above.
ARMED Phase
The vehicle security system is set and BCM monitors all necessary inputs. If any door or hood is opened with-
out using Intelligent Key, vehicle security system switc hes to the ALARM phase. Security indicator lamp blinks
every 2.4 seconds.
To reset the ARMED phase, refer to the switching condition of No. 11 in the table above.
ALARM Phase
BCM transmits “Theft Warning Horn Request” signal and “High Beam Request” signal intermittently to IPDM
E/R via CAN communication. In this phase, horns and headlamps are activated intermittently for approxi-
mately 50 seconds to warn that the vehicle is a ccessed by unauthorized means. ON/OFF timing of horns and
headlamps are synchronized. After 50 seconds, the vehicle security system returns to the ARMED phase. At
this time, if BCM still detects unauthorized access to t he vehicle, the system is switched to the ALARM phase
again. This RE-ALARM operation is carried out a maximum of 2 times.
To cancel the ALARM operation, refer to the switching condition of No. 12 in the table above.
NOTE:
If a battery terminal is disconnected during the ALARM phase, theft warning alarm stops. But when the battery
terminal is reconnected, theft warning alarm is activated again.
