■When required to leave a key to the vehicle with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (→P. 5 2 5 )
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the
electronic key only.

■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 aircraft.
