I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for over a year, and the mechanical key is cleverly hidden inside the smart key—it's super easy to take out. Usually, there's a small button or sliding switch on the side of the smart key. Just press firmly or push it, and you'll hear a click, allowing the metal part to be gently pulled out. Never yank it forcefully, or it might get stuck. If the smart key runs out of battery or the electronic system fails, this mechanical key is your backup for unlocking the car door. I recommend checking regularly to ensure it slides out smoothly and cleaning the key slot to prevent dust buildup from affecting its function. Regular maintenance of your key can save you trouble in emergencies, like when the battery dies, ensuring you can react quickly.

As a family user who often takes kids out, the Lynk & Co 03's mechanical key extraction is very convenient. Whenever the smart key malfunctions, I just press the small button on the side and the metal key pops out smoothly with great tactile feedback. This prevents being stranded on the road, especially at night or during rainy days. Remember not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the slot. I usually wipe the key surface and keep it dry for maintenance. This thoughtful design has saved me several trips to the repair shop.

For beginners driving the Lynk & Co 03, retrieving the mechanical key is quite intuitive. Locate the small switch on the edge of the smart key, push the button, and the metal blade can be pulled out. The process is effortless; practice it to become proficient. If you find it difficult, first check the manual to confirm the location.

When removing the mechanical key during safe driving, extra caution is required. Pay attention to the button position, apply gentle pressure and pull slowly to prevent component breakage or key jamming. In emergencies, it can be a lifesaver—for instance, it's your backup for opening the door if smart functions fail. Ensure the key remains intact to avoid accidental damage that could hinder its use.
