SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• PDS (POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ) is the system that BCM controls with the operation of the push-
button ignition switch and performs the power distribution to each power circuit. This system is used instead
of the mechanical power supply changing mechanism wi th the operation of the conventional key cylinder.
• The push-button ignition switch can be operated when Intelligent Key is in the following condition.
- Intelligent Key is in the detection area of the inside key antenna.
- Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch.
• The push-button ignition switch operation is input to BCM as a signal. BCM changes the power supply posi-
tion according to the status and operates the following relays to supply power to each power circuit.
- Ignition relay-1
- Ignition relay-2
- Accessory relay-1
- Accessory relay-2
- Front blower motor relay
NOTE:
The engine switch operation changes due to the conditions of brake pedal, selector lever and vehicle speed.
• The power supply position can be confirmed with the light ing of the indicators in the push-button ignition
switch.
BATTERY SAVER SYSTEM
When all the following conditions are met for 30 minutes, t he battery saver system will cut off the power supply
to prevent battery discharge.
• The ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position
• All doors are closed
• Selector lever is in the P (park) position
Reset Condition of Battery Saver System
In order to prevent the battery from discharging, the battery saver system will cut off the power supply when all
doors are closed, the selector lever is in P (park) positi on and the ignition switch is left in the ACC or ON posi-
tion for 30 minutes. If any of the following conditions are met the battery saver system is released and the
steering will change automatically to lock position from OFF position.
• Opening any door
• Operating door request switch on door handle
• Operating Intelligent Key

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)

PRECAUTIONS FOR KEY REGISTRATION
• The ID registration is a procedure that erases the cu rrent NVIS (NATS) ID once, and then reregisters a new
ID. Therefore before starting the registration operation, collect all registered Intelligent Keys from the cus-
tomer.
• When registering the Intelligent Key, perform only one procedure to simultaneously register both ID [NVIS
(NATS) ID and Intelligent Key ID].
SECURITY INDICATOR LAMP
• Warns that the vehicle is equipped with NVIS (NATS).
• Security indicator lamp always blinks when the pow er supply position is any position other than ON.
NOTE:
Because security indicator lamp is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.
ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH
1. When brake pedal is depressed while selector lever is in the P (Park) position, BCM activates NATS
antenna amp. that is located behind push-button ignition switch.
2. When Intelligent Key (transponder built-in) backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch, BCM
starts NVIS (NATS) ID verification between BCM and Intelligent Key (transponder built-in) via NATS
antenna amp.
3. When the NVIS (NATS) ID verification result is OK, buzzer in combination meter sounds and BCM trans-
mits the result to ECM.
4. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits 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 lever position is P (Park) or N (Neutral).
7. BCM transmits 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.
10. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indicating that the engine is started, BCM transmits a stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning of f the starter motor relay. (If engine start is unsuc-
cessful, cranking stops automatically within 5 seconds.)
*: For the engine start condition, refer to the table “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-
BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION” below.
POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERA-
TION
The power supply position changing operation can 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)
