Abstract
A remote control system includes a remote control transmitter that transmit a signal and a receiver than can receive the signal from the transmitter. A control device performs a function having a first and a second option. The control device responds to the signal received by the receiver and performs the first option if the distance between the remote control transmitter and the receiver is greater than a particular distance and performs a function based on the ambient noise level.

22-1. The vehicle according to claim 21, wherein the confirmatory signals include at least two audible signals, a first audible signal being louder than a second audible signal, the control device causing the confirmation device to produce the first audible signal when the ambient noise level is greater than a predetermined level and to produce the second audible signal when the ambient noise level is less than the predetermined level.

26. A method of controlling a remote function comprising:
-
providing a remote control transmitter and a receiver;
sending a signal from the remote control transmitter to the receiver;
determining the ambient noise level in the area;
performing a first function in response to the signal from the transmitter if the ambient noise level is less than a first predetermined level; and
performing a second function in response to the signal from the transmitter if the ambient noise level is greater than a second predetermined level. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
