Abstract:
1. A wireless anti-lockout system for automatically unlocking a driver's side door, comprising: a plurality of door-lock sensors, each of the sensors generating a door-locked signal when a corresponding door lock is locked; a trunk-lock sensor generating a trunk-locked signal when the trunk is locked; a manually-activated trunk button for generating a trunk-locked signal when the trunk is open; means for generating a key signal; means for detecting the key signal and generating a key-detected signal; an occupant sensor for generating an occupant signal when an occupant is absent; a door lock control for locking and unlocking a door; and means for receiving the door-locked signals, the trunk-locked signal from either the trunk-lock sensor or the trunk button, the key—detected signal, and the occupant signal and for activating the door lock control to unlock the door when all of the signals are detected.
