To take out the mechanical key:
Electronic keys: Slide the release
lever and take the key out.
Card key: Press the lock release
button and take the key out.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the key

key cannot be inserted in a lock cylin-
der, 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 electronic key
battery is depleted or the entry func-
tion does not operate properly, you
will need the mechanical key.

■If you lose your mechanical keys
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by any authorized Lexus dealer or
