The system then checks the information. If the signal doesn't match, the car will not start or unlock. This feature helps protect against unauthorized entry and allows the vehicle to remain locked if the driver is tempted to leave the vehicle outside.

They can also lock or unlock their car using the screen. If their car model is self-parking, they can even control it.
