A keyless entry system allows fully automatic operation of a door lock device of an automotive vehicle. The system recognizes the presence and absence of an authorized user and automatically locks or unlocks the vehicle door lock device according to the presence or absence of the authorized user.

The radio code signal transmitter is of a pocket-portable size for convenient transport by an authorized user. The radio signal transmission between the controller and the radio code signal transmitter is performed within a predetermined distance range around the vehicle. Therefore, the radio code signal transmitter becomes active when the authorized user carrying the same enters into the predetermined radio signal transmission range to transmit the radio code signal to the controller. The controller receives and compares the preset co…
