What is the Lexus Smart Key?

The Lexus Smart Key
The Lexus Smart Key is a keyless entry system that allows drivers to lock and unlock their vehicle, open the trunk, and start the engine without physically inserting a key into the ignition. The Smart Key uses a proximity sensor to detect the presence of the key and enables various functions when the key is in close proximity to the vehicle. This technology provides convenience and ease of use for Lexus owners.
Some key features and benefits of the Lexus Smart Key include:
1. Keyless Entry: The Smart Key allows the driver to lock and unlock the doors by simply touching the door handle when the key is nearby.
2. Trunk Access: The Smart Key enables the driver to open the trunk by touching a specific area on the vehicle, usually located near the license plate light.
3. Engine Start: The Smart Key allows the driver to start the engine by pressing a button, typically located on the dashboard or center console, without needing to insert a key into the ignition.
4. Convenience: The Smart Key eliminates the need to search for keys in pockets or bags, providing a seamless and convenient experience for the driver.
5. Safety: The Smart Key system includes security features to prevent unauthorized access to the vehicle.
It’s worth noting that Lexus offers different variations of the Smart Key, including a wallet-sized electronic key called the Lexus SmartAccess Card Key. This card key works similarly to the traditional Smart Key fob and provides an additional option for Lexus owners.
In case of losing or damaging the Smart Key, replacement keys can be obtained from a Lexus dealer or certain bonded/registered locksmiths. It is recommended to keep a spare Smart Key and the key-number plate in a safe place to avoid costly replacements.
