When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
The Smart Key is an ultra-convenient feature that lets you lock and unlock your 2021 Lexus IS, open the trunk, and begin it without ever taking it from your pocket. The battery of the key fob will eventually die.
You can, fortunately, replace the battery yourself using a flathead screwdriver as well as a lithium battery of the CR2032 type (available in most electronics stores and hardware stores). Here's how to do it!
Keyless Entry
Your Lexus key fob contains technology that connects to sensors in your vehicle. This lets you lock and unlock your doors and trunk, as well as open it and turn on the ignition with a push button. This remarkable convenience makes driving the Lexus more enjoyable than driving any other vehicle. The key fob is going to eventually require batteries replaced in order to function properly.
You can extend the battery life of your key fob by keeping it far from magnetic appliances such as TVs, mobile phones, battery chargers, induction cooktops and table lamps. The closer your keyfob is to these devices, the more power they'll draw from.
Another way to ensure that your key fob lasts a long time is to use it only for the functions that you require. You can also save battery life by reducing the long you hold the buttons. Hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously. The electronic key indicator will flash four times to indicate that your key fob has entered battery-saving mode. When the lights stop flashing you can push any button on your key fob to make it work again.

Immobilizer System
When you put your key in the ignition, it sends an ID code to the receiver inside the car. If the ID code matches that in its memory, then the car's computer will let the engine start. However, if the ID code does not match, it triggers an immobilizer, which stops the engine from starting.
This technology works even if your keys get stolen but it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack" an anti-theft system using radio waves. A burglar could use an aerial antenna to pick up the signal and then spoof it to inform the car that the key is in.
To overcome this experts are working on safer systems. Some of them offer WiFi connectivity un-detectable installation and pin code entry via buttons on the dashboard. To help buyers choose the most secure security features, Thatcham Research offers a assessment and approval process to make it easier to compare the various products.
If you're worried about the security system installed in your vehicle, changing batteries is the simplest option. You can determine the correct replacement by referring to the owner's manual. Fuses are a different cause therefore they should be checked frequently. A replacement is available at the auto parts store in case one blows.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key comes with an aluminum blade that can be used to open the lock cylinders in your vehicle's ignition as well as doors. Your key fob contains components that communicate with the Smart Access system of your car, as well as a push-button for starting. Although your key fob is designed to last a long time, constant use and exposure to elements of the weather could cause it to fail sooner than you would expect. To prevent this from happening it is recommended to keep your key fob in a safe place away from your vehicle as much as you can, to stop its proximity sensors from continuously connecting and consuming battery power.
