This concise user manual provides a detailed guide to using the SmartAccess Key FOB with Remote Start feature for 2015 and newer Lexus vehicles, including models from 2018 onwards (except the 2018 GX). It details the key features, requirements, setup, and usage, emphasizing the convenience offered by this technology across different Lexus vehicles.
Key Features
The SmartAccess Key FOB allows the user to start the vehicle’s engine remotely to adjust its temperature, ensuring it is warm in winter and cool in summer before the user arrives. The feature includes the automatic engine stop after 10 minutes, works within a close range, and requires an active trial or subscription to Lexus Enform connected services.
Requirements
Using the remote start function requires the vehicle to be parked with all doors, trunk, hood, and moonroof securely closed and locked. The fuel level must be above a quarter tank, no key fobs should be near the vehicle, and any security alarms must not be triggered.
Getting Started
To remotely start the engine, the user must press the lock button on the key fob twice (with the second press within one second) and then hold it for three seconds. To stop the engine remotely, the user can either press the unlock button or hold the lock button for two or more seconds. The manual provides a straightforward outline of these actions, including the visual cue of hazard lights flashing, which indicates that the engine has started.
Additional Convenience Features
Lexus Enform Remote offers enhanced functionalities available with a trial or subscription. These features include locking and unlocking doors, locating the vehicle on a map, monitoring guest drivers, checking fuel levels, and viewing the vehicle’s status through a mobile device, smartwatch, or Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant-enabled devices.
Safety and Subscription Information
Key fob battery strength, objects between the fob and vehicle, and other external factors can affect operational range. All users are recommended to check the owner’s manual and Lexus.com/enform for additional details on Lexus Enform Remote services, data collection, sharing, retention practices, and subscription after the trial period.
The manual also addresses the compatibility of the SmartAccess system with certain medical devices such as pacemakers, advising users to consult their doctors regarding potential interferences. Moreover, it notes that service availability may vary by vehicle, region, navigation map data, GPS signal strength, and other external factors not within Lexus’s control.
