A CONTROL APPARATUS FOR AUTOMOBILES

摘要

A control apparatus for an automobile is provided with a system manager (1), which initiates and manages the operation of units for controlling and operating various devices and accessories installed in the automobile. The system manager (1) is coupled with a card unit (13), in which a card is inserted. Such a card has an identification code of a user and a code indicating that the card is registered in advance. The system manager (1) has a list of codes of cards registered. If a card inserted is confirmed to be correct and valid by the ID and the registration code, the system manager (1) executes a predetermined processing operation and produces a set-up instruction signal. Upon receipt of this set-up instruction signal, the control units (19-35) for the devices and accessories are initiated.
