Method for operating a portable hand-held transmitter for a remote-control system for a vehicle
First Claim
1. Method of operating a portable hand-held transmitter for a vehicle remote-control system, which hand-held transmitter has at least one activation mechanism for generating a plurality of activation sequences-to control a plurality of control functions, at least one prescribed control function being assigned to each prescribed activation sequence, and, in a normal mode, the at least one activation mechanism triggering the assigned prescribed control functions by means of the prescribed activation sequences, wherein:
- by means of at least one switch-over activation sequence which is carried out at the at least one activation mechanism, the portable hand-held transmitter is switched over from the normal mode into a programming mode wherein assignments of activation sequences to the control functions are changed.

Abstract
The invention provides a method for operating a portable hand-held transmitter for a vehicle remote-control system in which a plurality of activation sequences control a plurality of assigned control functions in a normal operating mode, at least one control function being assigned to each prescribed activation sequence. The activation sequences differ in the manner and/or number of actuations of an activation mechanism of the portable transmitter. According to the invention the portable transmitter is switched over from the normal operating mode into a programming mode by means of a switch-over activation sequence which is carried out via the at least one activation mechanism. Assignments of the prescribed activation sequences and of the prescribed control functions can be changed as desired during the programming mode.

13. Method of operating a vehicle remote-control system comprising a portable transmitter for controlling a plurality of remotely controllable vehicle subsystems, in a normal operating mode, by means of a plurality of activation sequences of said portable transmitter, at least one control function being assigned to each of said activation sequences, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a switch-over activation sequence of said portable transmitter;
carrying out said switch-over activation sequence at said portable transmitter;
in response to said switch-over activation sequence, said portable transmitter switching from said normal operating mode to a programming mode; and
in said programming mode, changing assignments of activation sequences to the respective control functions. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
