MiEV REMOTE REGISTRATION PROCEDURES


Up to four MiEV remotes can be registered in the EV remote-ECU by operating the MiEV remote and the electric motor switch.
note When a MiEV remote is registered, all the information on the previously registered MiEV remote(s) will be erased. Therefore, if an additional MiEV remote is registered, all the MiEV remotes (including the previously registered ones) must be registered again.

How to register MiEV remote


1.
  1. Switch the MiEV remote into the registration mode according to the procedure below. (This operation is necessary only when the MiEV remote(s) are registered again.)

    1. Press the power/communication switch of the MiEV remote for at least one second to power on the MiEV remote.
    2. Press and hold the MODE switch. Then press the power/communication switch and then the DOWN switch without releasing the MODE switch.
    3. All the LCD indications on the MiEV remote illuminate, and then it enters the registration mode.
      note
      • The MiEV remote will be powered off and exit from the registration mode when 30 seconds elapse since the last operation.
      • If the system does not proceed to the registration mode, the MiEV remote may be defective.
  2. Switch the vehicle into the registration mode according to the procedure below.

    1. Move the electric motor switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.
    2. Wait for three to five seconds after the electric motor switch is turned from the LOCK (OFF) to the ACC position. Then turn it to the LOCK (OFF) position.
    3. After carrying out item (b), turn the electric motor switch from the LOCK (OFF) to the ACC position within 10 seconds, and then turn it back to the LOCK (OFF) position again.
    4. The vehicle enters the registration mode by repeating item (c) four times.
      note To check whether the vehicle has entered the registration mode, try to communicate with the vehicle by using the MiEV remote (which has not been in the registration mode). If the vehicle does not respond to it ("ERROR" is displayed on the MiEV remote LCD), the vehicle has entered the registration mode. If the MiEV remote receives signal from the vehicle normally, it has not entered the registration mode.
  3. After carrying out step (2), press the power/communication switch for at least one second within 15 seconds. Now all the LCD indications on the MiEV remote must flash and the tone alarm must sound.
    note
    • When step (3) is carried out within 15 seconds after step (2), the vehicle will exit the registration mode.
    • If the MiEV remote LCD does not flash, or the tone alarm does not sound, the MiEV remote is suspected to be defective. (If the tone alarm is disabled, it will not sound.)
  4. After carrying out step (3), all the LCD indications on the MiEV remote must illuminate and the tone alarm must sound to inform that the MiEV remote has been registered.
    note When all the LCD indications on the MiEV remote do not illuminate and only the ERROR indication flashes, the vehicle may not enter the registration mode. Repeat from step (2).
  5. If several MiEV remotes must be registered, carry out step (4) and then repeat steps (1) and (3) within one minute.
  6. When the electric motor switch is turned from the LOCK (OFF) to the ACC position after registration, the registration mode will be exited. Alternatively, the registration mode will be exited if four units of the MiEV remote are registered or at least one minute elapses after the MiEV remote is operated.
  7. Check all of the registered MiEV remotes for proper operation.
