Keyless Entry

Keyless entry is a well-known option that allows you to unlock your car without ever having to take out your key fob or even touch the door handle.

Your key fob will then send an alert to the car which unlocks the doors or trunk. The system can also turn on the hazard warning light and turn on the audio system to discourage thieves. You can adjust the volume of these features.
