DOOR

DOOR LOCK
A central door lock system that locks and unlocks all doors (including the tailgate) via the driver’s door key cylinder, passenger’s door key cylinder <Except vehicles for Hong Kong spec> or the driver’s door inner lock knob is optionally available. A child protection is used to prevent the rear doors from being opened accidentally during driving. As an added safety measure, the front doors incorporate an inside lock cable to prevent the door from locking during an impact. Key-in prevention function has been introduced for driver's door.

DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING When the driver's door inner lock knob is operated to the lock position with all doors closed, all the doors (including tailgate) will lock. When the driver's door inner lock knob is operated with the driver's door opened, front passenger's door and rear doors (including tailgate) will lock but the driver's door will not lock. 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 lock position. This function is called "Override function". All doors and tailgate can be unlocked at the same time that the driver's door is opened.
KEY-IN PREVENTION FUNCTION If the driver’s door remained open, it cannot be locked even though the driver’s door key cylinder or driver’s side inside lock knob is pushed. This prevents the ignition key from being left in the passenger compartment.
IMPACT DETECTION DOOR UNLOCK MECHANISM
The impact detection door unlock mechanism is adopted. This function unlocks all doors, if the vehicle crashes when the ignition switch is ON or within 30 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to OFF, allowing to rescue passengers from the vehicle immediately. If the impact detection sensor integrated into the SRS-ECU detects an impact equal to or more than a specific level, the impact detection signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU to automatically unlock all doors (Refer to GROUP 54B, SMART WIRING SYSTEM ). NOTE: Refer to Group 52B, SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM for SRS-ECU.
