How to use the manual key if the Lexus remote fails

Model: Lexus Lexus Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

Let's see how to enter your Lexus if the remote of your vehicle runs out of battery: you can still open it and start it. Press the button and remove the emergency key; under the driver's door handle, you will find the lock. Keep in mind that you will need to open the vehicle with this system until you change the battery in the remote.

To start the vehicle, bring the Lexus logo on the remote close to the start button located in the car. Hold down the brake and press the start button. This way, the vehicle will still recognise the transponder and will start.

But remember to change the battery.
