Abstract
In response to a request signal transmitted from the vehicle through operation of an activating switch, a portable device sends a code signal. The code signal is identified by a code identification component. If authentication of the code signal is successful, a control unit issues a release signal to unlock a steering lock and power is supplied from the control unit to an engine ECU so that the engine can be started.
