A control device includes means for outputting a request signal (Sr) to an electronic key in response to the ON operation of a predetermined switch (start switch) among a plurality of switches (winker switch, horn switch, etc.) arranged in the vicinity of a user who has sat on the drive seat of th e vehicle (request signal generation means, a transmission circuit, and a transmission antenna), means for detecting a response signal (Sa) from the electronic key (a reception circuit and response signal matching means), and monitoring means for outputting a lock release instruction to an actuator when the response signal (Sa) shows that the request is from a regular user.
