When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (P. 442)
Carry the master key for your own use and provide the attendant with the
valet key.
Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the

the key number plate. (P. 586)
When riding in an aircraft (type B)
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
