Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected

With the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin, even if an engine start operation is performed, the engine does not start (the key indicator display is not displayed on the multi-information display). However, the engine can be started by turning the engine switch on (ACC) and then pressing and holding it.

  • If there is a malfunction when the brake signal sent via direct line is on, the engine can be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal released.
  • If there is a malfunction when the brake signal sent via direct line is off, the engine cannot be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal depressed.
