Tailgate control in BCM without SKM

▶

When pressing the tailgate switch for more than 0.1 second with driver door unlocked and vehicle 
speed below 3 (±0.1) km/h, the tailgate open relay is turned ON for about 1 second, with 

power OFF, ACC ON or IGN ON. However, it is turned ON when the vehicle speed is below 3 
(±0.1) km/h, with IGN ON. 

The tailgate open relay is turned OFF immediately after the driver door is locked or the vehicle speed 

goes over 3 km/h with IGN ON during its operation. However, the BCM does not operate if the 

tailgate open switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is above 3 km/h.

Tailgate control in BCM with SKM

▶

When pressing the tailgate switch for more than 0.1 second with driver door unlocked and vehicle 
speed below 3 (±0.1) km/h, the tailgate open relay is turned ON for about 1 second.

The tailgate open relay is turned OFF immediately after the driver door is locked or the vehicle speed 

goes over 3 km/h during its operation.

When the tailgate switch on smart key is pressed in theft deterrent mode or with the smart key 

detected by the exterior antenna, the SKM verifies the smart key and disarms the tailgate only. When 

the tailgate is open and closed, the system enters into the theft deterrent mode again. If the tailgate 

switch is not operated for 30 seconds, the system also does so.

The BCM checks that the verified smart key is in the luggage room 1 second after when the closed 

tailgate is detected by the tailgate open switch with power OFF.

If there is a verified smart key in the luggage room when the tailgate is open and closed in theft 

deterrent mode, the external buzzer sounds for 5 seconds.

When the driver press the tailgate open switch in order to look for the smart key, the BCM deactivates 

lock so that the tailgate can be opened even though the driver door is locked. (maintains standby for 

opening without verification)

15) Theft Deterrent Alarm

Theft deterrent alarm control in BCM without SKM

▶

Entering into theft deterrent mode by REKES remote control  

1.

When receiving the door lock signal with the key removed, all doors including tailgate and engine 

hood closed, all doors are locked and the theft deterrent mode is activated. At this moment, the 

turn signal lamps blink twice.

When pressing the lock switch on remote control key again in 4 seconds, the turn signal lamps 

blink twice and the horn sounds once in the theft deterrent mode. In other words, when pressing 

the door lock button once, all the doors are locked and the turn signal lamps only blink twice, and 

another press in 4 seconds makes the turn signal lamps blink twice and alarm horn sound once. 

When receiving the door lock signal with any door (except tailgate and engine hood) open, the 

doors are unlocked immediately after locking them first.

When receiving the door lock signal with the tailgate or engine hood open, the doors are closed if 

they are open, but the theft deterrent mode is not activated. However, when closing the opened 

tailgate or engine hood, the theft deterrent mode is activated with two blinks of turn signal lamps. 

If a door or tailgate is not opened within 30 seconds after unlocking the doors with remote control 

key in theft deterrent mode, all doors will be automatically locked again (re-lock operation). When 

entering into the theft deterrent mode, the turn signal lamps blink twice and the horn sounds once.

The theft deterrent mode can be activated only when the above conditions are satisfied.

Ex) The theft deterrent mode cannot be activated when locking the doors with key hole on door.

When unlocking the doors or turning the ignition switch to ON position. 

When receiving the door unlock signal in theft deterrent mode, all doors are unlocked and the turn 

signal lamps blink once (the horn does not sound). 

When receiving the door unlock signal with the theft deterrent mode disarmed, the turn signal 

lamps blink once (the horn does not sound).

When pressing any switch (lock, unlock, panic) on the remote control key during the theft deterrent 

alarm, the alarm stops its operation. 

When turning the ignition switch to ON position during the theft deterrent alarm, the alarm stops its 

operation. 

(For vehicle with immobilizer system, the alarm stops after completion of authorization. For vehicle 

without immobilizer system, the alarm stays ON for 30 seconds)

When turning the ignition switch to ON position during the theft deterrent alarm, the alarm stops 

and the theft deterrent mode is deactivated after 30 seconds (remaining time).
