Abstract: Provided are a passive entry system for changing a scan method to reduce battery consumption of a smart key and a method for performing a function thereof. In the passive entry system, a smart key ECU periodically transmits a low-frequency scan signal for detecting the smart key. When the smart key being in a slip state is located within a receiving radius of the scan signal, the smart key receives the scan signal and is converted into an active state. Battery consumption of the smart key can be reduced because the smart key normally being in the slip state is converted into the active state when receiving the scan signal from the smart key ECU. Furthermore, the smart key is converted into the active state only within the low-frequency scan signal receiving radius formed near an automobile and requests the smart key ECU to perform a function of the automobile, for example, a function of closing/opening doors. Accordingly, a reliable passive entry system can be achieved.
