What does PEPS mean when displayed on a car?

PEPS on a car stands for Passive Entry Passive Start, which is a keyless one-button start system. It is also known as the keyless system. The smart key automatically unlocks the doors and deactivates the anti-theft system when you approach the vehicle within a certain distance, and it locks the doors and activates the anti-theft system when you leave. In simple terms, the PEPS keyless system in a car recognizes the authorized driver when they enter a specified range and automatically unlocks the doors. When leaving the car, the doors lock automatically and the anti-theft system is activated. Below is how the car PEPS system works: 1. Signal transmission: When the car key is carried near the vehicle and the car button is pressed or the door handle is pulled, the car receives a signal for ignition or unlocking and sends a signal to the low-frequency antenna. 2. Reverse signal transmission: Upon receiving the signal, the low-frequency antenna sends a low-frequency trigger signal to the car key. 3. Unlock signal: The car key receives the low-frequency trigger signal and sends a high-frequency unlock signal.
