How to access and start the Lexus NX300 even with a flat remote control battery.

Model: Lexus NX MK 2, Az20 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Key

In this video, we see how to open and start a Lexus NX300 in an emergency, even if the remote control is dead. If the remote control battery is dead, but you are in a place where you cannot get a replacement battery, know that you can still enter the car and start it. We open the remote control and extract the emergency key that is enclosed inside: it is a small blade that will allow us to open the car through the hidden lock in the driver's side handle; we lift it by pulling it towards us, insert the key and turn it clockwise. The alarm will immediately go off, which we must disable by pressing the Lexus logo on the remote control against the engine start button, and simultaneously pressing the brake pedal. We go back to pressing the remote control against the start button, still holding down the brake pedal. Now the car has recognized the remote control and you can start the car by pressing the "start" button. To close the door, you must use the same mechanical system. Replace the remote control battery as soon as possible!
