DOOR LOCK

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING

A central door locking system has been installed in the club cab and double cab <Vehicles with central door locking system>.
Central door locking system that locks and unlocks all doors via the driver’s door key cylinder or the driver’s door inner lock knob has been adopted.
A child protection is used to prevent the rear doors from being opened accidentally during driving.
Key-in prevention function has been introduced for driver’s door.
"P" position shift linked door-unlock function has been introduced. <Vehicles with automatic transmission with keyless entry system>
Direct combination key cylinder mechanism has been adopted to maintain its function at the side collision and improve theft protection.

All doors are locked when all of them are closed and the driver’s door key cylinder or the driver’s door inner lock knob is operated to the locking direction.
The driver’s door can be opened by pulling the driver’s door inner handle even when the driver’s door inner lock knob is in the locked position. This function is called "Override function".
When the driver’s door is locked (when the lock switch turns ON after turning OFF the unlock switch in the driver’s door lock actuator), ETACS-ECU turns ON the lock relay output for 0.25 second, and locks all doors. When the driver’s door is unlocked (when the unlock switch turns ON after turning OFF the lock switch on the driver’s door lock actuator), ETACS-ECU turns ON the unlock relay output for 0.25 second, and unlocks all doors.

When doors are unlocked, an impact of a side collision is not easily transmitted to the door latch structurally, improving door opening performance.
Even if any door key cylinder is attempted to be tampered with the doors locked, the tampering force is not easily transmitted to the door latch to deter thieves.
