Valeo is dedicated to the design, the manufacture and the sale of components, integrated systems and modules for cars and heavy lorries. 3 Fields of Innovation for surer, cleaner and more comfortable vehicles.

Passive Entry and Start System

A new generation of hands free Access and Start System for improved comfort, convenience, safety and security.

The passive entry and start system allows you to automatically unlock and lock the vehicle doors without taking your key out of your bag or pocket, and start the engine just by pushing the ignition button.

Valeo developed the ALIAS (Asic Logic Intelligent Access System): your virtual assistant which contributes to the authentication, authorization, actuation and access functions of the car. This structure allows only one component to be needed for all passive entry functions which increases the reliability of the system due to reduced number of components. This therefore enables the manufacturer to reduce costs and processing time for the development of new platforms.

• Approach
  As you approach your vehicle, your car recognises you! Your identifier is detected by radio frequency. No more annoying time wasting fumbling for keys in your hand bag!
  

• Access
  Just carry your key and pull the door handle, you now have an exclusive access to your car.

• Start
  When you push the ignition button, your key is authenticated; the immobilizer and the electrical steering column lock are automatically released so that the engine can start.

• Away
  When you simply walk away from your car with your key – or touch a button on one of the door handles, the vehicle is immediately locked.

In 2005, Valeo brought together its latest innovations in terms of access electronics into a new concept, the Smart Car Key.
