When the car senses that a key fob is within reach, it will either unlock or start the engine. Certain systems also allow the driver to open the trunk and windows by pushing an appropriate button on the key fob.

Using a keyless system can be more convenient, especially in cold weather, because it doesn't require you to insert the key into the lock, and can help prevent damage to the lock mechanism of your car from ice or dirt.

With a keyless ignition system, you can start and unlock your car without the mechanical key. It utilizes a transponder inside your smart fob to transmit an identification code that is authenticated by the vehicle's anti-theft system. If the smart key is close to the vehicle, the transponder broadcasts signals that activate the engine, just like a key.

Both imported and domestic vehicles are increasingly using these systems. The push button can be used to start the engine, and switch on other electrical features like a radio. You can even switch on the air conditioning with a single press. Pressing the button a second time will turn off the car's electrical functions and pressing the button a third time using your foot on the brake will stop the engine.

Certain systems require you to flip the switch or turn it prior to pressing the start button. Others perform pre-start checks to ensure that the vehicle is in Park and your foot is securely on the brake. Other safety tips include reading the owner's guide, adhering to basic safety practices and watching NHTSA video on keyless ignition.

The remote control interface 109 includes a receiver 110 that takes infrared-modulated lights and demodulates them in order to recover the control codes that are contained in the carrier wave. The remote control interface sends the control codes to the electronic device, which activates the desired functions according to the code.
