2. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION

(a) Check the push-button start function:

(1) w/o Multi-information Display:

Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P, check that the smart warning light illuminates green when the brake pedal is depressed. Then check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the smart warning light illuminates green.

(2) w/ Multi-information Display:

Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P, check that the smart warning light is displayed when the brake pedal is depressed. Then check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the smart warning light is displayed.

(3) While the brake pedal is released and the key is being carried, check that the power source mode changes in the following order when the engine switch is pressed: off -> on (ACC) -> on (IG) -> off.

HINT
When the engine switch is pressed with the engine switch on (IG) and the shift lever not in P, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).

(4) With the shift lever in P, check that the steering lock operates when a door is opened.

HINT
When the engine switch is pressed after the vehicle is stopped, the engine stops and all the power turns off. However, if the shift lever is not in P when the engine switch is pressed with the vehicle stopped, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).

(5) Check the push-button start function operation range for the front side. Place the key in either of the two locations making sure that the key is oriented as shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.

* If the key is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the shift lever, communication may not be possible.

HINT
Perform this inspection for both inspection points.

(6) Check the push-button start function operation range for the rear side. Place the key in either of the two locations making sure that the key is oriented as shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.
