System Description

WARNING:

If using a pacemaker, be sure to read the manual of the pacemaker before using the key, as the radio waves of the key may affect the pacemaker.

  1. SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START DESCRIPTION 
    1. In addition to conventional mechanical key and wireless door lock control functions, the smart access system with push-button start enables door locking/unlocking, steering lock releasing, engine starting and luggage compartment door opening without operating the key. The only requirement is that the key is in the user's possession.
      • This system is controlled by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). When the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) detects the presence of the smart access system with push-button start in one of the detection areas, it identifies and checks the ID code, and outputs operation signals to the related ECU in accordance with their functions.
      • The detection areas are formed by 6 oscillators (2 door oscillators, 2 luggage compartment oscillators, and 2 cabin oscillators).

    2. Oscillator (each door electrical key oscillator, indoor electrical key oscillator (for front and rear floor), indoor electrical key oscillator (for luggage compartment), outside electrical key oscillator (for luggage compartment))

      Each oscillator transmits the request signal received from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), and forms a key detection area to detect the presence of a key. The detection area formed by each door electrical key oscillator and outside electrical key oscillator (for luggage compartment) is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) from the outside handle of each door or the center of the rear bumper.

      • The detection area of each door electrical key oscillator is formed by transmitting a request signal every 0.25 seconds while the engine switch is off and each door is locked. In this way, it detects the proximity of a key. During entry lock, the detection area is formed with the lock switch on.
      • The detection area of the outside electrical key oscillator (for luggage compartment) is formed when the luggage compartment door opener outer switch is on.
      • The detection area of the indoor electrical key oscillator (front and rear floor) is formed when the any door is opened or closed, during start ignition, when a warning is activated, or when the lock switch is on.
      • The detection area of the indoor electrical key oscillator (for luggage compartment) is formed when the luggage compartment door is closed or the luggage compartment open switch is pressed.

    Push the lock switch, unlock switch, luggage compartment switch and panic switch on the key to operate each function. For details. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .

  7. ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION 
    1. The detection area is formed by communication between a door electrical key oscillator and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when the door is locked in order to detect access of the person carrying the key.
    2. When the person carrying the key enters the detection area around the vehicle, the matching of the ID codes for a door electrical key oscillator and key will automatically be performed. After the matching is completed, the door will enter unlock standby mode.
    3. In unlock standby mode, the antenna built into the outside handle starts sensing. If the outside handle is held (the backside of the handle is touched), the door unlock operation will be performed. At this time, the hazard warning light blinks twice and the wireless door lock buzzer sounds twice.
    4. If any of the doors are not opened after a door unlock operation, all doors will automatically lock after 60*1 or 30*2 seconds.
      • *1: except for Korea and Mexico
      • *2: for Korea and Mexico
  8. ENTRY LOCK FUNCTION 
    1. After leaving the vehicle while holding the key, push the lock switch on the outside handle when all the doors are closed.
    2. The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) determines whether the key is located inside or outside of the cabin based on the information from a door electrical key oscillator and indoor electrical key oscillator. Then matching of the ID codes is performed.
    3. When the matching result shows that the ID codes of the key and indoor electrical key oscillator do not match and the ID codes of the key and door electrical key oscillator match, the door lock function will operate. At this time, the hazard warning lights blink once and the wireless door lock buzzer sounds once.
    4. If the key is located inside the cabin, the door lock function will not operate and the alarm buzzer (beep sound) will sound for 2 seconds.
  9. ENTRY LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN FUNCTION 

    Stand in front of the luggage compartment while holding the key and push the luggage compartment door opener outer switch to start the matching of the ID codes for the outside electrical key oscillator (for luggage compartment). If the ID codes match, luggage compartment door open operation will be performed.

  10. PREVENTION OF KEY CONFINEMENT FUNCTION 
    1. If you attempt to lock the door through keyless operation (move the lock knob to the lock position and then close the door) with the key in the cabin, the system determines that the key is located in the cabin and unlocks the door.
    2. If the luggage compartment is closed with the key in it, the alarm will sound and the luggage compartment can be opened only when all the doors are locked in order to prevent key confinement in the vehicle.
  11. ENTRY ILLUMINATION FUNCTION 

    When a person carrying the key enters the detection area, the door will enter unlock standby mode and the front map light and door mirror foot light will illuminate.

    HINT: 

    The entry illumination function operates when the key enters the vehicle exterior detection area from outside the detection area. If the key does not remains out of the detection area for 3 seconds or more, the illumination function does not operate.

  12. MEMORY CALL FUNCTION 

    When the engine switch is off and the driver door courtesy light is off, opening the door will operate the memory call function (the seat will move to a previously recorded driving position). Using the key, memory call, key registration and key cancellation can be performed.

  14. BATTERY SAVING 
    1. Vehicle Battery Saving Function

      In the smart access system with push-button start, signals are emitted outside the vehicle at a prescribed interval (0.25 seconds) when the doors are locked. Therefore, the vehicle battery could be drained if the vehicle remains parked for a long time. For this reason, the controls listed below are affected:

      Condition Control
      Both conditions below are met for 10 days:
      • Key is not in detection area
      • Touch sensor or lock switch operation is not performed
      Signal transmission interval is extended from 0.25 to 0.75 seconds
      Both conditions below are met for 15 days:
      • Key is not in detection area
      • Touch sensor or lock switch operation is not performed
      Signal transmission interval is extended from 0.75 to 2.25 seconds
      Both conditions below are met for 30 days:
      • Key is not in detection area
      • Touch sensor or lock switch operation is not performed
      Automatically deactivates the smart access system with push-button start

      Reinstatement Conditions

      • A wireless door lock control signal (lock, unlock) is input and the ID code matches.
      • A user carries the key and pushes a lock switch on a door outside handle assembly.
      • The driver door is locked or unlocked by the mechanical key.
    2. Key Battery and Vehicle Battery Saving Function

      In the smart access system with push-button start, if the key is constantly located within the vehicle exterior detection area of the doors, the system maintains periodic communication with the key. Therefore, if the vehicle remains parked in that state for a long time, the key battery and the vehicle battery could be drained. For this reason, if this state continues longer than 10 minutes, the smart access system with push-button start automatically becomes deactivated.

      Reinstatement Conditions

      • A wireless door lock control signal (lock, unlock) is input and the ID code matches.
      • A user carries the key and pushes a lock switch on a door outside handle assembly.
      • A door is locked or unlocked by the mechanical key.
