When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
Smart Key is a convenient feature that lets you to lock and unlock your Lexus IS 2021, open the trunk, and then start it without needing to take it out of your pocket. However, there comes a time when the battery on the key fob expires.
You can replace the battery using the CR2032 lithium battery (available in a majority of hardware or electronics stores). Here's how!
Keyless Entry
Your Lexus key fob is fitted with a device that communicates with sensors in your car to allow you to lock and unlock doors as well as open your trunk and then turn on the push-button engine. This fantastic convenience makes driving the Lexus more fun than any other vehicle. The key fob may eventually require batteries replaced in order to perform as it should.
The good news is that you can prolong the life of your key fob's battery by keeping it at least 3 feet away from electrical appliances that generate magnetic fields, such as televisions, cell phones, battery chargers, induction cookers and table lamps. This is because the closer your key fob is these devices, the more power it will use.
Another method to ensure your key ring lasts for a long time is by using it only for the functions you need. You can also prolong battery life by reducing how you hold the buttons. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously. The electronic indicator for the key will flash four times to signal that your key fob is in battery-saving mode. Press any button on the key fob once the lights stop flashing to bring it back in working in good working order.

Immobilizer System
When you insert the key into the ignition, it sends an ID code to a receiver inside the car. If the ID code matches that in its memory, then the car's computer lets the engine start. If the ID code doesn't match, an immobilizer is activated, which stops the car from starting.
This technology is effective even if your keys get stolen, but it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack" or alter an anti-theft radiowave system. A criminal could use an aerial antenna to detect the signal and spoof it into telling the vehicle that the key is present.
Experts are developing more secure methods to thwart this. Some systems offer WiFi connectivity as well as undetectable installations, and pin code entry via dashboard buttons. To help customers choose the most reliable security features, Thatcham Research offers a assessment and approval process to make it easier to compare products.
If you're worried about the anti-theft feature of your car the best thing you can do is to replace the battery, if old. You can locate the proper replacement by looking up the owner's guide. Fuses can also be a source of trouble and you must examine them regularly. If one of them blows, an alternative can be found at the auto parts store.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key comes with a metal emergency key blade that will open the lock cylinders on the doors of your vehicle and also the ignition. The key fob also houses hardware that communicates with your vehicle's Smart Access system and push-button start. While your key fob was designed to last a long time, daily use and exposure to weather elements could cause it to fail earlier than you think. To prevent this, store your keyfob as far away from your car as possible. This will help reduce the drain on batteries that is caused by its proximity sensors.
