Default How did you take it off?

Did you just pull on the little nylon loop to take it off? I'm afraid I'll tear it doing that...

EDIT:
Never mind, got it. Debating between removing the black part or placing part of my business card in front of it. What do you guys think?

i tihnk the reason they had the instructions in there and the little string loop is for valleting. when u want to vallet ur car you lock up the trunk and glove compartment, remove the manual key, and give the vallet the fob, and then there will still be that little loop for them to hang ur key on their rack. o ya the instructions are their because not every car in the world has the cool keyless ignition push button start hahaha

how much would you trust the valet w/ your car if its the first keyless ignition car they've driven...

You can flip the paper around, it says Lexus on it.

It's not like they could really mess anything up. I mean, it's just a button.

Couldn't they leave it in the ACC mode and drain the battery?

Having said that trust or no trust, many times you have no option but to give it to the valet.

Technically, yes. But they are going to have to go through some steps to do that, and hopefully they would notice that the car is not turned off completely. But some people out there continue to amaze me

I'd walk a mile to avoid valeting my car.

I'm not as bad as I used to be though. A few years ago I got an expensive parking ticket outside of Spago's in L.A .(didn't see the "permit only" sign) because I didn't want to give a rental car to the valets. Now that was dumb!
