PRECAUTIONS


Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect


NOTE:
- Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK position, then disconnect both 12-volt battery cables.
- After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both 12volt battery cables.
- Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.
This vehicle is equipped with a push-button ignition switch and a steering lock unit.
If the 12-volt battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the 12-volt battery disconnected or discharged, follow the procedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both 12-volt battery cables.

NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if 12-volt battery is discharged.
2. Carry the Intelligent Key or insert it to the key slot and turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both 12-volt battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both 12-volt battery cables disconnected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both 12-volt battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
