Keyless entry system

Abstract

A keyless entry system for use with a mobile transmitter for transmitting an ID code specified therefor along with a command for vehicle door lock/unlock remote control to a control unit. The control unit is operable in an ID code registration mode for registering an ID code transmitted from the mobile transmitter. The transmitted ID code is compared with the registered ID code to permit the remote control specified by the transmitted command when the transmitted ID code is identical with the registered ID code. Upon completion of a first predetermined procedure including a plurality of sequential events of at least one first movable vehicle member provided on the vehicle, a second movable vehicle member is changed from a first position to a second position. The control unit is placed in the ID code registration mode upon the sequential occurrence of three events of (1) the second movable member is changed to the second position, (2) the ignition key is placed in a predetermined position within the key receptacle and (3) the second movable member is returned to the first position in this order.
