Model#: HFM4C01
Brand: Continental
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
LF Antennae
It also includes an integrated RF receiver for 433.92 MHz frequency. The receiver is
designed in direct placement and the HFM integrates a RF printed antenna.
1. The first way uses the remote key functionality (RKE) by pressing one of the “Lock” or
“Unlock” buttons of the ID Key. Data frames are then transmitted at 433.92 MHz by the
key fob of the car. Then the HFM processes the frames received and when the
authentication code is correct, the doors are locked or unlocked automatically.
Car access functions by remote control are allowed using any key fob type.
Remarks:
The operating free hand mode range of the product model named HFM4C01 is less than 15
meters.
The maximum operational distance using the hand free mode of this product is: 3 meters.
Engine Start
There are two ways to start the Engine:
1. When the Hand free functions are disabled
Firstly, the User must hold the key fob in front of Immobilizer antenna for a few seconds after
one of the following actions: press of the “START” button on the dashboard, open or close a
door or press vehicle brake pedal. Each key fob has a transponder. When the key fob is hold
in front of Immobilizer antenna, the HFM sends a ‘transponder” recognition order to the key fob
throw the Immobilizer antenna. The HFM performs a ‘transponder” authentication using 125
kHz transceiver. The key fob sends the authentication result to the HFM and the HFM sends
on the CAN bus a message to the central unit and engine control unit to allow or not the START
of the engine.
The engine starts function is allowed using any key fob type.
2. When the Hand free functions are enabled
The user does not need to hold the key fob in front of the Immobilizer antenna. The key fob
should only be inside of the vehicle. When the “START” button is pushed, the HFM sends a
recognize message at 125 kHz link via internal LF antennas. Receiving this message, the key
fob sends an authentication message at 433.92 MHz to the HFM. Then the HFM sends on
the CAN bus a message to the central unit and engine control unit to allow or not the START
of the engine.
The engine start function is allowed using any key fob type.
Remote parking
The Remote parking function allows to park a vehicle without the user being inside the of car.
This function mainly provides a solution to park a vehicle in case of narrow parking lot or garage
where it is not possible to get in or out once the vehicle parked.
The Remote Parking function provides straight maneuvering (driving forward /backward) of a
vehicle. The user activates it outside of the vehicle and controls the vehicle movements with
his Key Fob.
The Remote Parking function is activated with a long press (2sec) on specific Key Fob button.
Once the function enabled, the vehicle (HFM) sends LF frames periodically to the
corresponding Key Fob to get a message to each LF frame sent with the required data, mainly
to ensure that the user remains inside of the permissible area to keep the function enabled.
The operating frequency of the Key Fob to communicate with the HFM is 433.92 MHz.
The function also includes an enabling timeout.
