摘要

A portable transmitter (11), used to send signals to a control device in the vehicle, comprises a display (17), keys (13) for setting a timer, a transmission circuit, an antenna (17), and a noise emitting device. A control unit (9) in the vehicle receives a timer signal from the transmitter and is coupled either to a timer circuit or a time storage memory, which is used to activate the timer. When the timer signal is received by the control unit, audible confirmation is emitted by the portable transmitter.
