Abstract

A radio remote control for controlling at least one first vehicle function that is relevant for functional safety, and further vehicle functions not related to functional safety. The remote control generates and wirelessly transmits transmission data to the vehicle for implementing the first vehicle function in response to a user input and a security information, provided upon actuation of a user interface and a security input actuator, respectively, by the user. In the case of a user input that is associated with the first vehicle function, the security information is only used to generate transmission data that causes the first vehicle function to be carried out if the security input actuator was actuated.
