Cars with Keyless Entry

**remzam** · February 3rd, 2017 01:24 AM

Keyless entry for cars are becoming a norm these days.

I'm just curious, what happens if you have your key inside your pocket and you leave the car while the engine is running? Will the engine stop or will it continue to run?

Maybe different cars will have different behaviors.

Gano ka kalayo sa oto? If pumasok ka lang sa loob ng bahay nyo nilapag mo susi sa sala nyo or kwarto wherin within range pa ng key sensor. Di mamamatay. Or mamatay lang pag wala ng gas.. LOL. Pero again, depends pa rin sa manufacturer.

Engine keeps running. Alarm system won't let you lock the doors from outside. There's only an alarm to let you know the key is out of range.

Actually, someone can just hop in and drive the car away if you leave it like that. Once the thief shuts off the engine, however, there's no way to start it up without the key (immobilizer and all that).

Key fobs usually have a VERY short range. You'd have to be standing almost in front of the door's lock button for you to unlock/lock the door. That means no one can sneak up and unlock the doors behind your back as you are walking away. The car can also tell if the key fob is inside or outside the vehicle so you can't turn on the engine even if the key fob is close by but not inside the cabin.

I'd suggest you try to download the owner's manual of the particular vehicle that you're interested in.

I think this should be "cars with auto start" or something and not "cars with keyless entry"?

Perhaps the more expensive ones. I'm just relating how mine behaves from experience. There have been times when my wife carries the keys in her bag and forgets to hand it over to me as she alights to open our garage gate. I haven't tried driving far without the key but there's nothing in my owner's manual that indicates the engine will shut itself down.

I also doubt that cars will be designed to shut down when it loses contact with the key fob transmitter. What if the key fob battery runs out while you're cruising on the highway? That'd be potentially disastrous.
