■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 circumstances
demand. (→P. 5 9 , 3 7 3 )
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the

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 aircraft.

the battery falls out or if the battery was
removed because the key got wet, rein-
stall the battery with the positive termi-
nal facing the Lexus emblem.
