The functions of a remote keyless entry system are contained on a small, hand-held fob attached to the keychain or built into the ignition key handle itself. Buttons are set aside to either lock or unlock the doors, plus open the trunk (or, on sport utility vehicles and station wagons, unlock/open the rear tailgate). Some cars will also close any open windows and roof when remotely locking the car. On many newer cars, the remote keyless fob also contains a button to activate the car alarm. Cars with remote keyless ignition systems can be started by the push of a button on the handheld fob.
