USING A MECHANICAL KEY
When you use the mechanical key in-
cluded on the side of the key, slide the
lock knob in the arrow direction and take
out the key as shown. To put the key
back, slide the lock knob in the arrow
direction and replace the key. Be sure to
put the key back when not in use.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.

ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
z Do not affix any material that cuts
off electromagnetic waves (such as

netic waves such as a
