Vehicle security system with local area pager and anti-drive away protection

摘要

A vehicle security system includes a local area pager (40) and additional anti-drive away protection. The remote transmitter of the system preferably includes a housing that is separated into two portions. A first portion (44) is retained by the vehicle owner while a second portion (46) is provided to a parking attendant with the vehicle. The vehicle owner can use the first portion (44) to generate a signal that is received by the second portion (46) and provides an indication to the parking attendant that the vehicle owner desires the attendant to retrieve the vehicle. Additionally, the system allows the vehicle owner to place the vehicle into a limited operation mode when the vehicle is left with the parking attendant.
