When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
Smart Key is a convenient feature that allows you lock and unlock your Lexus IS 2021, open the trunk and start it, without ever having to remove it from your pocket. The battery for the key fob will eventually fail.

Your Lexus key fob comes with hardware that connects to the sensors inside your vehicle to let you lock and unlock your doors or trunk, and then start the ignition by pressing a button. This remarkable convenience makes driving in a Lexus more fun than an ordinary vehicle. The key fob could require replacement with the battery at some point in order to work correctly.
The good news is that you can prolong the life of your key fob's battery by keeping it at least three feet away from electrical appliances that generate magnetic fields, such as TVs, cell phones and battery chargers, induction cookers, and table lamps.

To do this, hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously. The electronic indicator for the key will flash four times to indicate your key fob is in battery-saving mode. Press any button on the key fob until the lights stop flashing to get it back in working condition.
