stances.
Refer to "To operate without using the
F.A.S.T.-key" on page 5-19.
 The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing
reception operations in its communication
with the vehicle. This means that the battery
is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery
life is about 1 to 2 years, depending on the
usage conditions.
 Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform-
ing reception operations, the reception of
strong electromagnetic waves can accelerate
the running down of the battery. Do not place
near to electrical appliances such as televi-
sions or computers.
