Smart Key Reminder 1

  1. Preconditions:
    • All terminals "OFF"
    • At least one door open
    • Not locked status (checked by SMK periodically for every 100 ms, as long as CAN/LIN is active)
  2. Event:
    • IF NO FOB-IN ACTIVE

      SMK performs a search for the fobs in the interior of the vehicle. The same LF-strategy has to be used as it is defined for the ID out warning (registering only, no authentication).

    • IF FOB-IN ACTIVE

      SMK search valid TP

    If no fob or no TP has been found, no action is required.

    If any valid fob or valid TP has been found, SMK unlocks the vehicle by sending a CAN Key Reminder unlock message with the fob number.

    If any valid fob has been found, SMK unlocks the vehicle by sending a CAN/LIN Key Reminder unlock message with the fob number.
