slide the release button and take
the key out.

inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one
side. If the key cannot be
inserted in a lock cylinder, 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 function
does not operate properly, you
will need the mechanical key.
