Using the mechanical key
To take out the mechanical key, push
the release button and take the key out.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the key only
has grooves on one side. If the key can-
not be inserted in a lock cylinder, turn it
over and re-attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it
in the electronic key. Carry the mechan-
ical key together with the electronic key.
If the electronic key battery is depleted
or the entry function does not operate
properly, you will need the mechanical
key. (P. 591)
Card key (if equipped)
■
The card key is not waterproof.
●
The mechanical key that is stored inside the card key should be used only if a problem
●
arises, such as when the card key does not operate properly.
If it is difficult to take out the mechanical key, push down the lock release button using a
●
pen tip etc. If it is still difficult to pull it out, use a coin etc.
To store the mechanical key in the card key,
●
insert it while pressing the lock release button.
If the battery cover is not installed and the bat-
●
tery falls out or if the battery was removed
because the key got wet, reinstall the battery
with the positive terminal facing the Lexus
emblem.
