A request signal transmitted from LF antennas of a vehicle-mounted unit is
received by a radio terminal through an LF antenna. In response to the
request signal, the radio terminal transmits a response signal from an
antenna. The response signal is received by an RF unit of the
vehicle-mounted unit. The vehicular remote control device controls an
operating state of a vehicle-mounted device depending on the judgment of
a match between the response signal and identification information
inherent in the vehicle. The radio terminal has a light-emitting diode.
When the radio terminal receives a failure diagnosis signal that is
transmitted instead of the request signal, the radio terminal does not
transmit a response signal, but energizes the light-emitting diode.
