Send a command to a sleeping car

To act right away (locking, opening the trunk, honking…), a sleeping car has to be woken up, which uses a little battery. So before sending it over the internet, Copeel asks you first, on iPhone as on Apple Watch:

• if the car is asleep, the “Your car is asleep” alert offers Wake and send;
• if Copeel doesn’t know whether it’s awake, the “Wake your car if needed?” alert offers Send anyway.

Both buttons wake the car if it’s asleep, then send the command. Cancel sends nothing.

The charge limit waits for the car to wake

The charge limit never wakes the car. If it’s asleep, the command is queued and applies the next time the car wakes up. See Set the charge limit.

With the Bluetooth key

Within range of the car, with the Bluetooth key, Copeel doesn’t ask: the command goes straight through, even with the car asleep.
