Mathf.Lerp problem

Hi. Im trying to achieve a fading affect. But my object fades instantly.

var object1 : GameObject;
var Fad : float;
var Changed : boolean;

function Start () {

}

function Update () {
	GetComponent(SpriteRenderer).color.a = Fad;
	if(object1.transform.position.x > -2.3 && Changed == false) {
		Fad = Mathf.Lerp(0.0, 1.0, 5);
		Changed = true;
		
	}	
		
}

I want to make that my game object would smoothly fade in 5 seconds, but Fad changes to 1 instantly.

the third parameter is lerp amount that changes between 0 and 1 by the time the correct way of doing it is like this

         transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(start.position,end.position,lerpAmount);
         lerpAmount += Time.DeltaTime;
