Abstract
A door lock system includes a trunk partitioned from a passenger compartment of a vehicle, a hood that opens and closes the trunk, a door lock mechanism that locks a door of the vehicle independently from locking of the hood, a control unit that controls driving of the door lock mechanism in response to predetermined communication performed with an electronic key carried by a user, and an opening detection unit that detects whether the hood is open. If the opening detection unit detects that the hood is open, the control unit inhibits the door lock mechanism from locking the door even when the predetermined communication is performed.
