5) What is smart
key system?
A smart key
system includes a portable device, which is carried by a driver, and
an engine start controller, which is installed in an automobile. The
portable device stores an ID code unique to the portable device (ID
codes differ between portable devices). The engine start controller
stores an ID code (ID code of the automobile), which is the same as
that of the portable device.
(or)
In smart key system, the engine start controller transmits a request
signal to a first area that includes substantially the entire passenger
compartment of the automobile (normal control). In response to the
request signal, the portable device transmits an ID code signal including
an ID code. When receiving the ID code signal, the engine start controller
determines whether the ID code of the portable device and the ID code
of the automobile match. When the two ID codes match, that is, when
portable device verification is achieved by communication between
the portable device and the engine start controller in the first area
based on the normal control, the smart ignition function is validated
and the starting of the engine is permitted.
