The first way is to use the remote key functionality (RKE) by pressing one of
the “Lock” or “Unlock” buttons on the ID Key. Data frames are then transmitted
at 433.92 MHz from the key fob ID of the car. The HFM processes the frames
received and when the security code is correct, the doors are locked or
unlocked automatically. Car access functions by remote control are allowed
using any key fob type.
The second way is to use the free hand mode
Unlocking the vehicle:
If the car is locked, when the door request switch located in the door is
pressed by car user which has a car key fob, the HFM transmits data frames at
125 kHz. When the key fob receives the data and recognizes the content of the
inquiry, it transmits the code to the car at 433.92 MHz. The HFM processes the
frames received and when the code is correct, the doors are automatically
unlocked.
