1 General operation of the key
The DAG Key Gen. 6 consists of a HF transceiver. It is used to transmit the information for locking or
unlocking the vehicle by an uni-directional (Remote Keyless EntryRKE) or bi-directional (Keyless
Go/Start operation after a LF Wake UpKG) HF transmission.
At KG the Vehicle Key reacts on a LF Wake Up-Signal from the vehicle (initiated after push of the
Start/Stop-button of the vehicle or a sensor, which recognizes the wish to lock or unlock the vehicle or to
open the trunk) from the vehicle and after that a bi-directional HF communication for autorization is initi-
ated. When the authorization is successful the vehicle performs the desired action.
For RKE there are two separate buttons each one for locking and unlocking the vehicle. The keys for all
vehicles with a boot lid are additionally equipped with a third button to open or close the trunk. The key is
provided with an additional button to (de-)activate the “PANIC” function for the vehicles intended for the
US market.

short range (< 10cm) LF-Transponder interface .
