To  take  out  the  mechanical  key, 
slide  the  release  lever  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  cannot  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 
mechanical  key  together  with  the  electronic  key.  If  the  electro nic  key  bat- 
tery  is  depleted  or  the  entry  function  does  not  operate  properl y,  you  will 
need the mechanical key. ( P. 746)
■If you lose your mechanical keys 
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by any authorized Toyot a retailer 
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using a nother mechani- 
cal  key  and  the  key  number  stamped  on  your  key  number  plate.  Ke ep  the
