KNOW THE FUNCTION OF BUTTON ON THE DOOR HANDLE OF CAR !

You might have seen a small button on the car handle. You might have imagined why this button is for and how it works? We will explore this in this article.

These days a lot of advancement is going on in Automotive field. Every automobile company is developing some technology to make the life of user comfortable.The button that you see on the car handle is known as Request Switch or Request Sensor.This technology allows you to lock and unlock the door just by pressing the Request Switch on the door when you are carrying your key on you. 

You can also open and close the trunk, and can start the engine without having to insert the key, making departure seamless. When you press this button the car sends out a signal searching for the owner, or key fob. When the key fob receives the specific signal, it replies that it is within radius and unlocks the doors for the owner.

Which means you just have to keep  the key in your pocket and press this request switch and you will be able lock and unlock your car door. There is also a same switch at the trunk side.

HOW THIS TECHNOLOGY WORKS:

Intelligent Key utilizes antennae that transmit signals between the car and the key, and a tuner that receives the signals. Pressing the Request Switch transmits a signal from the car antenna, and the key that receives the signal then automatically returns a signal. The car tuner receives this signal and then locks or unlocks the vehicle.

In order to avoid a key being locked up inside the vehicle cabin or trunk, the technology detects the status of the door lock and whether the key is remaining inside the vehicle at the moment when the door or trunk is closed. If it detects that a key has been shut inside the vehicle, it alerts you via a buzzer and simultaneously automatically unlocks the door or opens the trunk.

You can quickly determine if a car has touch-sensitive door locks installed. Take a look at the driver-side door. If no handle or lock are visible, then you can be sure that the car has a touch-sensitive lock installed.
