  1. To show the vehicle status (e.g. locking system) when the vehicle is parked;
  2. To allow the driver to recognize the presence of his/her own vehicle from a certain distance by remote control;
  3. In case of keyless entry system and of the driver having lost the key fob while riding – to inform the driver that he/she no longer has the key fob and that the vehicle will soon become unable to restart.
