IS250/220d/200d_EE
The card key is not waterproof.
When required to leave a key to the vehicle with a parking attendant
Turn the trunk opener main switch off and lock the glove box as circum-
stances demand. (P. 60, 356)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant
with the electronic key only.
Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place, not in the vehicle. In the event that a mechan-
ical key is lost, a new key can be made by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, using the key
number plate. (P. 515)
When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not
press any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you
are carrying an electronic key in your bag etc, ensure that the buttons are not
likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.
To store the mechanical key in the
card key, insert it inside while
pressing the lock release button.
If the battery was removed, reinstall
the battery with the positive termi-
nal facing the Lexus emblem.
