DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION



CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING <LH DRIVE VEHICLES>



  • All the doors and tailgate can be locked/unlocked, using the driver’s side door lock switch.
  • 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 door lock switch, the ETACS-ECU operates its door lock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors and the tailgate for 0.25 second to lock all the doors and the tailgate. When the door is unlocked by the driver’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 and the tailgate for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors and the tailgate. When the door is locked and unlocked by driver’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 and the tailgate for 0.25 second to lock all the doors and the tailgate. Then, the ETACS-ECU operates its door unlock relay and passes a current through the door lock actuators of all the doors and the tailgate for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors and the tailgate. Due to this, there may be a time lag between the driver’s door lock switch actuation and the time when all the doors and the tailgate are unlocked.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING <RH DRIVE VEHICLES>



  • 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 driver’s door is locked, ETACS-ECU turns the lock relay output ON for 0.25 second to lock all the doors and the tailgate. When the driver’s door is unlocked, ETACS-ECU turns the unlock relay output ON for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors and the tailgate.

SELECTOR "P" POSITION-LINKED DOOR UNLOCKING FUNCTION <CVT, TC-SST>



  • When the selector lever is shifted to the "P" (parking) position with the ignition switch turned ON, all the doors will be unlocked automatically, improving passengers’ convenience for getting out. Using a customisation feature, the selector "P" position-linked door unlocking function can be changed (Refer to ).


  • When the selector lever is shifted to the P position with the ignition switch turned ON, the inhibitor switch "P" turns ON, ETACS-ECU turns the unlock relay output ON for 0.25 second to unlock all the doors.

KEY-IN PREVENTION FUNCTION




DIRECT COMBINATION KEY CYLINDER MECHANISM





  • The impact of a side collision is not easily transferred to the door latch with the doors unlocked (to prevent passengers from falling out of the vehicle).
    Even if any door key cylinder is attempted to be tampered with the doors locked, the tampering force is not easily transferred to the door latch, to deter thieves.

TAILGATE



TAILGATE LOCK RELEASE HANDLE





note If the tailgate cannot be opened from the outside of the vehicle due to any malfunction such as discharged battery, it can be opened from the inside of the vehicle using the following procedures:



  1. Remove the inside release lever cover installed to the tailgate trim from the inside of the vehicle.


  2. Push down the inside release lever in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure.
  3. Open the tailgate while pushing it up.
