N00503100094
The Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)
enables the doors and the tailgate to be locked and unlocked
and the engine to be started simply by carrying it.
The F.A.S.T.-key can also be used as the remote control trans-
mitter of the keyless entry system.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-
key): Keyless entry system” on page 3-45.
CAUTION
!
When the remote control transmitter case is opened,
be careful to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.
The F.A.S.T.-key must be carried by the driver. The F.A.S.T.-
key is required for vehicle operations such as locking and
unlocking the doors and the tailgate, and starting the engine.
When leaving the vehicle, make sure you are carrying the
F.A.S.T.-key and then lock the vehicle.

!
Individuals who use implantable pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should
keep away from the external and internal transmit-
ters. The electromagnetic waves used in the F.A.S.T.-
key may affect the operation of implantable pace-
makers and implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla-
tors.

Individuals using other electro-medical apparatus
besides implantable pacemakers and implantable
cardiovascular-defibrillators should check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect
of the electromagnetic waves used by the F.A.S.T.-
key. The electromagnetic waves may affect the oper-
ations of the electro-medical apparatus.

NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
• The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
• The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
• A keyless entry system is being used nearby
• The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
• The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate without using the F.A.S.T.-key” on
page 3-34.

The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations 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 performing 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 televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200138
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 passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK
switch or the tailgate OPEN switch, verification of the ID code
is performed.
The doors and the tailgate can only be locked and unlocked and
the engine can only be started when the ID codes of the vehicle
and F.A.S.T.-key match.NOTE
When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)
N00529600114
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions) using a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobilizer
system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.
