Abstract
A method for managing transmissions, by a motor vehicle, of signals for detecting a device of a user over a wireless communication link. The method includes the steps of requesting activation, by the user of the vehicle, of a so-called 'silent' mode in which the transmission of detection signals by the vehicle over the wireless communication link is suspended, it being possible for communication signals generated by a physical entity other than the vehicle to be received by the vehicle, following the activation request, detecting the device of a user outside a predetermined area around the vehicle, activating the silent mode by the vehicle when the device of a user is detected outside the predetermined area, sending to the vehicle, by the user, a signal to deactivate the silent mode from the device so as to reauthorize the transmission of detection signals by the vehicle over the wireless communication link.
