Entry System ECU FCC WARNING NOTICE ALPS ELECTRIC Co., LTD 1.Preface This document describes the requirements and operation of the Passive Entry System. However, this document is especially for the Entry system ECU (acronym for Electric Control Unit) and the FOB. The FOB consists the following functionality for passive access and active access: • Door unlocking / locking (however, only for request by means of switch operation) • Trunk unlocking / locking (however, only for request by means of switch operation) • LF decoding • RF encoding • Communication data encryption (cryptograph, anti-collision, rolling code and stuff) And the entry system ECU consists of the following functionality: • Door unlocking / locking • Trunk unlocking / locking • Engine start (/ stop) • LF encoding • RF encoding • Communication data encryption (cryptograph, anti-collision, rolling code and stuff) • LF antenna unit control • Communication with the node ECUs connected to the body bus (e.g. CAN, J1850, customer dependent bus) As a further function, both the FOB and the entry system ECU provides the following function: • Learning mode for programming the manufacturing data and stuff • Data locking and password protection • Diagnostic (based upon ISO9141 if required) ALPS ELECTRIC Co., LTD 2.Passsive Accsess Entry Functionality A proximity sensor located on, for example the door handles, mirrors and trunk lid will be used for proximity check if user is in neighborhood of the vehicle. The switch input will trigger for unlocking and open the doors and trunk. Figure 1 2.1.Door Unlocking • User pull / touch the door handle (sensing of door handle switch). • ECU sends LF-challenge via exterior antenna. • FOB sends RF-response to the ECU. • Door unlocking status is engaged. • Doors are opened. Figure 2 Proximity sensor LF RF FOB ALPS ELECTRIC Co., LTD 2.2.Engine Start • User pushes / operate the engine start button / knob. • ECU sends LF-challenge via interior antenna. • FOB sends RF-response to the ECU. • Immobilizer ECU receives and authorize the response. • Engine controller ECU receives the authorization for engine strat. • Start the engine. Figure 3 2.3.Engine Stop • User pushes / operate the engine stop button / knob. • ECU communicates with the other ECU for engine start request. • Engine controller ECU receives the request. • Stop the engine Figure 4 LF RF FOB ALPS ELECTRIC Co., LTD 2.4.Door Locking (Push switch) • User closes the door and pushes the switch (sensing of door locking switch). • ECU sends LF-challenge via exterior antenna. • FOB sends RF-response to the ECU. • Door locking status is engaged. • Doors are locked. • (Indicates the door locking status by means of Flasher / Buzzer or stuff) Figure 5 ALPS ELECTRIC Co., LTD 3.Active Access Entry Functionality 3.1.Door Unlocking Same functionality as the current one. 3.2.Engine Start This function does not effect on the active entry system. 3.3.Engine Stop This function does not have influencei on the active entry system. 3.4.Door Locking Same functionality as the current one.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 June 16, 2003 RE: FCC ID: NHVWBU614 Attention: Yukari Ito / Yoshiaki Iwasa I have a few comments on this Application. 1. Please note that the device is not compliant with the rules and therefore fails. Please note the readings on page 14 of the report. The Fundamental has a measured peak reading of 45.4dBuV/m horizontal and yet 3905 MHz has a peak reading of 45.6dBuV/m. It is not just the spurious emissions limits (average and peak) that must be met, but the requirement that “ the level of any unwanted emissions shall not exceed the level of the fundamental frequency.” (see 15.209c). Please note that this is not a ‘limit’ measurement, but a comparative measurement to the fundamental level. If this were a non-harmonic emission, there may be some argument about the average limit, however, since this is a harmonic, this frequency fails. Please provide data showing that no harmonic exceeds the fundamental. 2. Please verify that the 434 Mhz signal on page 15 of the report is not the same signal as the fundamental frequency on page 14 of the report. Dennis Ward mailto:[email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

June 20, 2003 RE: TOHOKU ALPS CO., LTD. FCC ID: NHVWBU614 Dear Mr. Dennis Ward, Regarding the above referenced application, please find our reply to the comments dated June 16, 2003: 1) Some of original data shows the data of noise floor of the measurement system. After improvement of the measurement system, re-measurement was carried out. Please see the submitted revised data of page 14. 2) 434MHz signal on page 15 is not the same signal as the fundamental frequency on page 14 of the report. 210MHz, 434MHz, and 867.84MHz signals show data of noise floor of the measurement system, because FCC requests to report at least 6 measurement data in accordance with ANSI C63.4. We hope the above reply is satisfactory. If any problems, please let us know. Best regards, Yukari Ito (Ms.) UL Apex Co., Ltd.
