The system (1) has a remote control device (3) for exchanging signals to a transmission receiver (11) of a vehicle (2). The system checks seat occupancy information of the vehicle. Acceleration sensors and/or position sensors of the control device produce signals that evaluate and control vehicle movements. The system automatically stops a remote control process after the vehicle is remotely controlled to cover a distance up to a pre-defined path length. A notification is displayed to a user (A) by the control device if the vehicle covers the distance up to the path length. The remote control device is designed as a mobile telephone i.e. smartphone, or a personal digital assistant (PDA). An independent claim is also included for a method for securing a remote control process of a vehicle.
