- Decreased Signal Range - Your key fob should be able to use anywhere from 30 to 60 feet. When the battery is depleted, the working range will be affected as well. Weather can also affect the range of use.
- Inconsistent Clicks - Clicking your key fob several times before receiving a signal can be a sign of worn-down battery usage.
- Unlocking Delay - A one-two second delay in your car unlocking from the time you pressed your key fob indicating that your key fob’s battery is wearing thin.

Your Lexus key fobs are equipped with a battery-saving mode and here are the steps:
- While holding down the LOCK button, press the UNLOCK button twice.
- The electronic key indicator will flash four times to confirm that the battery-saving mode is set.
