LOCKING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A vehicle lock apparatus in which a wireless door lock function and an immobilizing function are established is provided. A key (26) is provided with a battery (30), a switch (32) and a control IC (28). An antenna-coil 12 is mounted at an end portion of a key cylinder (10). A wireless antenna (20) is mounted at a predetermined position in a vehicle. When the switch (32) is turned on, a wireless signal is transmitted by the control IC (28) so that the wireless door lock function is established. When the key (26) is inserted in the key cylinder (10), the control IC (28) inhibits the transmission of the wireless signal and communicates with the antenna-coil (12) using an ID code so that the immobilizing function is established.
