CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM

The central door locking system operates the door lock actuator to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate using the door lock switch built into the front power window (main or sub RH) switch. The system has the following operations and features:

• All doors and liftgate can be locked using the door lock switch built into the front power window (main or sub RH) switch.
• The key reminder function automatically unlocks all doors and liftgate when door lock operation is performed and the front doors are opened while the key is inserted into the ignition switch.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING OPERATION

The function that allows the driver's door to be opened by pulling the driver's door inside handle even when the driver's door inside lock knob is in the lock position is called "override function".

When the door is locked by the driver's or passenger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors (including the liftgate) for 0.25 second to lock all the doors (including the liftgate).

When the door is unlocked by the driver's or passenger's door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors (including the liftgate) for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors (including the liftgate).

When the door is locked and unlocked by driver's or passenger's door lock switch consecutively, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors (including the liftgate) for 0.25 second to lock all the doors (including the liftgate). Then, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors (including the liftgate) for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors (including the liftgate). Due to this, there may be a time lag between the driver's or passenger's door lock switch actuation and the time when all the doors (including the liftgate) are unlocked.

SELECTOR "P" POSITION-LINKED DOOR UNLOCKING FUNCTION

When the selector lever is shifted to the "P" (parking) position with the ignition switch turned ON, all the doors (including the liftgate) will be unlocked automatically, improving passengers' convenience for getting out. Using a customization function, the selector "P" position-linked door unlocking function can be switched.

When the selector lever is shifted to the P position with the ignition switch turned ON, the transaxle range switch "P" turns ON, ETACS-ECU turns the unlock relay output ON for 0.25 seconds to unlock all the doors (including the liftgate).

IGNITION SWITCH "LOCK (OFF)" POSITION-LINKED DOOR UNLOCKING FUNCTION

• When the ignition switch is turned to the " LOCK (OFF)" position, all the doors will be unlocked automatically, improving passengers' convenience for getting out. Using a customization function, the ignition switch " LOCK (OFF)" position- linked door unlocking function can be changed.

• When the ignition switch is turned to the " LOCK (OFF)" position, ETACS-ECU turns the unlock relay output ON for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors.

POWER WINDOWS

When the power window (main or sub) switch is operated, the door windows will open or close. This system has the following operations and features:

• A power window lock switch on the power window main switch prevents the door window glass from opening/closing with the front passenger's and rear power window sub switches.
• The power windows can be opened/closed for 30 seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF (timer expires if the front door LH or RH is opened).
• The power window main switch contains a one-touch switch that will automatically open and close the driver's side door window only.
• With the safety mechanism, the power window main switch detects the pinching of obstacle such as a hand or a head when the driver's door window glass is raised. Then, the mechanism lowers the driver's door window glass for approximately 150 mm (6.0 inches). The safety mechanism is activated when the power window main switch is operated by auto-closing operation (the status when the hand is released from the switch knob after auto-closing operation). The safety mechanism operates as follows.
  • At the manual-closing operation or the continuous auto-closing operation (keep pulling up the switch knob) of the power window switch, the door window glass can be forcibly closed without safety mechanism activation even when the obstacle is detected to be pinched.
  • To secure the safety when the power window switch manual-closing or auto-closing operation is performed accidentally during the safety mechanism activation, the power window switch manual-closing and auto-closing operations are prohibited for 3 seconds after the activation of safety mechanism due to the obstacle pinching detection.

POWER WINDOW TIMER FUNCTION

Even after the ignition is switched off, the ETACS-ECU keeps the power window relay activated for approximately 30 seconds, enabling raising or lowering of the power windows by using the power window switches (timer function). After approximately 30 seconds, the power window relay is deactivated.

During this timer operation, if the driver's or front passenger's door is opened, the power window relay is deactivated from that moment.
