What is a "remote keyless system"?
A remote keyless system allows drivers to lock or unlock their vehicle doors without using a traditional key. Instead, it works by sending a signal from a remote key device to the car's central locking system. This system provides convenience, as the driver does not have to manually insert the key into the lock. It often includes additional features, such as remote start or trunk release, making it easier to control the vehicle from a distance. Remote keyless systems enhance security by making it harder for thieves to access the vehicle.
Examples
Many modern cars come equipped with a remote keyless system that makes it convenient to access the vehicle without inserting a physical key.
