This button opens a cover that conceals the key blade. The cover is fixed by two clips on the key-ring loop area. The mechanical key blade can be seen beneath the cover when you remove it.
After you've removed the key fob's case, locate a small black button next to the key-ring loop. It should make a clicking sound when you press the button several times. If you do not hear a click, you might need to push it a few times more. Then, you'll be able to put the key fob back in its slot with the button facing downwards. To test the key fob simply press the unlock and lock buttons in succession and listen for a click.
