Abstract

A remote keyless entry system includes a key fob having a tilt sensor. The tilt sensor detects when the key fob is tilted out of a range of preferred orientation and cooperates with the fob controller to selectively deactivate one or more of the remote keyless entry function buttons on the key fob.
