The method further includes communicating the permission scheme to a vehicle and accessing the vehicle with the second vehicle access device.
Claims19
A method for accessing a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a charge level of a battery of a first vehicle access device;
- creating a permission scheme for a second vehicle access device based on the charge level of the battery of the first vehicle access device;
- communicating by a controller the permission scheme to a vehicle controller;
- accessing the vehicle with the second vehicle access device;
- activating a battery level warning signal of the first vehicle access device based on whether the charge level is below a first threshold value;
- activating a low power mode of the battery of the first vehicle access device based on whether the charge level is below a second threshold value;
- and
- shutting down the first vehicle access device based on whether the charge level is below a third threshold value,
- wherein the second threshold value is less than the first threshold value, and the third threshold value is less than the second threshold value.

A method for accessing a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a charge level of a battery of a first vehicle access device;
- activating by a vehicle controller a charging station associated with the vehicle based on whether the charge level of the battery of the first vehicle access device is below a first threshold value;
- charging the first vehicle access device at the charging station;
- accessing the vehicle with the first vehicle access device;
- deactivating the charging station with the vehicle controller;
- receiving, at the vehicle controller, information associated with a user of the first vehicle access device after deactivating the charging station;
- and
- determining whether the information associated with the user of the first vehicle access device matches a stored information.
