Operation of each component
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
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
only has grooves on one side. If the
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.

leather portion.
●When cleaning the metallic portion, wet a cloth and firmly wring out any excess
water from it, then thoroughly wipe off any dirt.
●When not using the electronic key for an extended period of time, store it in a dry
place of normal temperature away from direct sunlight and interior light after
removing any dirt.
■Card key (if equipped)

lem arises, such as when the card key does not operate properly.

using a pen tip etc. If it is still difficult to pull it out, use a coin etc.
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
