enables the doors to be locked and unlocked, the trunk lid to be
opened, 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.

key)”: “Keyless entry system” on page 3-44.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, opening the trunk lid, and starting the
engine. When leaving the vehicle, make sure you are carrying
the F.A.S.T.-key and then lock the vehicle.

matically lowered a little.
After the door window is lowered, pull up the switch again to
close the door window.
NOTEThe safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the door window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by
trapped hand or head.
If the safety mechanism is activated 3 or more times con-
secutively, the safety mechanism is deactivated and nor-
mal closing of the door window will be aborted.
Use the following method to return to normal operation.
1. If the door window is open, repeatedly pull up the
power window switch to fully close the door window.
2. With fully closing the window, release the switch and
then pull up the switch again for about 1 second.

door window closes. This allows the door window to
close completely. Therefore be especially careful that
fingers are not trapped in the door window opening.The safety mechanism is deactivated while the

Safety mechanism If a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecu-
tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted. To return
the sunroof to normal operation:
1. Press the switch (2) repeatedly until the sunroof moves
into the tilt up position.
2. Once the tilt up position has been reached, press again and
hold the switch (2) for at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (1) to perform full opening,
press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.NOTEThe safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the sunroof to be sub-
jected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a
trapped hand or head.
Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches the opening
or closing end during operations. If this should acciden-
tally be allowed to happen, repeat the process from step 1. 5. The sunroof should now operate in the normal manner.
CAUTION
!The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the
sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.
The safety mechanism is deactivated while the
switch (3) is pressed. Therefore be especially careful
that fingers are not trapped in the sunroof opening.Do not deliberately trap your hands or head in
order to activate the safety mechanism.
Personal injury and malfunction of the sunroof
could result.
