Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key) (if so equipped)
NOTE
Use the emergency key in such circum-
stances.
Refer to "To operate without using the
F.A.S.T.-key" on page 5-26.
 The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing
reception operations in its communication
5
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 3 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.
Operating range of the
F.A.S.T.-key
When a person enters the operating range of
the F.A.S.T.-key while carrying the F.A.S.T.-
key and presses the driver's or front passen-
ger's door lock/unlock switch, the liftgate
LOCK switch or the liftgate OPEN switch,
verification of the ID code is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can be locked and
unlocked and the engine can be started only
when the ID codes of the vehicle and
F.A.S.T.-key match.
