An entry control system for a vehicle has a transmitter for transmitting a transmission request signal, a receiver for receiving a response signal including an ID code from a portable device, and a biometrics sensor for detecting a face image of a user. The system compares the face image provided by the biometrics sensor with registered face image. If these images agree, the system then activates the transmitter and compares the ID code received from the portable device with a registered ID code. If these codes also agree, the system allows the user to open a door and start an engine of the vehicle.
