Folding Ignition Key

The ignition key can be folded into the remote transmitter. To extend the key, press the release button on the remote transmitter. Make sure the key is fully extended. To fold the key, press the release button and, holding it pressed, push the key so that it fully retracts into the remote transmitter housing.

Make sure your fingers do not touch the key pivot while folding or extending the key.
