- the vehicle 300 can be locked regardless of whether the digital key is in a restricted state. However, it is not necessary that the vehicle 300 cannot be locked when the digital key is in a restricted state.
- the processor 201 of the key terminal device 200 does not send a lock request when the digital key is in a restricted state, for example.
- the processor 311 of the control device 310 refers to a restriction variable included in the received lock request to determine whether the digital key is in a restricted state. Then, the processor 311 does not lock the vehicle 300 when the digital key is in a restricted state. Whether or not to lock the vehicle 300 when the digital key is in a restricted state may be changeable by settings.
- the setting is stored in the auxiliary storage device 314 as vehicle setting information.
- the processor 311 refers to the vehicle setting information and locks the parts and equipment that are set to be lockable even in a restricted state. That is, the processor 311 stops the parts and equipment of the vehicle 300 that are set to be lockable even in the restricted state among the parts that were started in steps ST108, ST111, and ST114. Also, if the electronic lock 331 is set to be lockable even in the restricted state, the processor 311 controls the electronic lock 331 to lock the electronic lock 331. Note that the parts and equipment that are set to start even when the digital key is in the restricted state and the parts and equipment that are set to be lockable even in the restricted state may have the same settings, for example, so that they are the same parts and equipment.

キー端末装置200は、デジタルキーが制限状態にある場合、ロック解除要求を送信しなくても良い。この場合、プロセッサー201は、例えば、ステップST74においてYesと判定したならばステップST77へと進む。また、この場合、制御装置310のプロセッサー311は、デジタルキーが制限状態であるか否かの判定を行わなくても良い。すなわち、プロセッサー311は、ステップST103でYesと判定したならばステップST104へと進む。そして、プロセッサー311は、ステップST106においてYesと判定したならば、ステップST108へと進む。
