 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 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 electrical appliances such as televisions
or computers.

opened and the engine to be started only
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key) (if so equipped)

NOTE
 When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run
