• wherein the touch panel is configured to display a plurality of icons comprising:
• a start icon for instructing start of the driving system of the vehicle;
• an advance icon for instructing advance to an openable position of the door;
• an advance and door opening icon for instructing the vehicle to advance to the openable position of the door and to open the door by the door opening and closing device after the advance;
• a retreat icon for instructing retreat to the openable position of the door;
• and
• a retreat and door opening icon for instructing the vehicle to retreat to the openable position of the door and to open the door by the door opening and closing device after the retreat,
• wherein the portable terminal further comprises:
• an operation key for manually operating lock and lock release of the door by the door opening and closing device;
• and
• a key holder configured to separably hold the operation key, and
• wherein the terminal controller releases a holding state of the operation key made by the key holder when a screen lock releasing operation on the touch panel coincides with a pattern registered in advance in the terminal controller.

A vehicle entry system comprising:

• a portable terminal;
• and
• an in-vehicle device configured to perform wireless communication with the portable terminal,
• wherein the in-vehicle device comprises:
• a door opening and closing device configured to lock a driver seat door of a vehicle at a closed state and to open the driver seat door to a predetermined opening degree;
• and an in-vehicle controller configured to authenticate the portable terminal and to control a driving system of the vehicle and the door opening and closing device on the basis of an instruction to be transmitted from the authenticated portable terminal,
• wherein the portable terminal comprises:
• an interface including a touch panel;
• and
• a terminal controller configured to output an instruction to the in-vehicle controller on the basis of an operation on the interface,
• wherein the touch panel is configured to display:
• an advance and door opening icon for instructing the vehicle to advance to an openable position of the driver seat door and to open the driver seat door by the door opening and closing device after the advance, wherein the in-vehicle controller is configured to advance the vehicle to the openable position of the driver seat door and to additionally open the driver seat door to the predetermined opening degree after the advance, when an instruction from the advance and door opening icon is received;
• a retreat and door opening icon for instructing the vehicle to retreat to the openable position of the driver seat door and to open the driver seat door by the door opening and closing device after the retreat, wherein the in-vehicle controller is configured to retreat the vehicle to the openable position of the door and to additionally open the door to the predetermined opening degree after the retreat, when an instruction from the retreat and door opening icon is received;
• and
• wherein the openable position of the door is adaptably set on the basis of a positional relation between the door and a user carrying the portable terminal,
• wherein the positional relation is detected on the basis of a radio wave intensity of a signal transmitted from the portable terminal and received in the in-vehicle device and a positional relation between an antenna of the in-vehicle device having received the signal and the door.

An in-vehicle device configured to perform wireless communication with a portable terminal, the in-vehicle device comprising:

• a door opening and closing device configured to lock a door of a vehicle, which has the in-vehicle device mounted therein, at a closed state and to open the door to a predetermined opening degree;
• and
• an in-vehicle controller configured to authenticate the portable terminal and to control a driving system of the vehicle and the door opening and closing device on the basis of an instruction to be transmitted from the authenticated portable terminal,
• wherein in response to an instruction to be transmitted from the portable terminal, the in-vehicle controller is configured to start a driving system of the vehicle and control the vehicle to:
• advance the vehicle to an openable position of the door and additionally open the door by the door opening and closing device after advancing the vehicle to the openable position of the door;
• or retreat the vehicle to the openable position of the door and additionally open the door by the door opening and closing device after retreating the vehicle to the openable position of the door, and
• wherein the openable position of the door is adaptably set on the basis of a positional relation between the door and a user carrying the portable terminal,
• wherein the positional relation is detected on the basis of a radio wave intensity of a signal transmitted from the portable terminal and received in the in-vehicle device and a positional relation between an antenna of the in-vehicle device having received the signal and the door.
