Do you like being hands-on with your Lexus and solving problems independently? Changing your Lexus key fob battery is an easy do-it-yourself project, requiring just a screwdriver (or small coin) and a few easy steps. Check out the following helpful tips and tricks to replace your key fob battery and discover ways to save battery power. Common Signs Your Lexus Key Fob Battery Needs Replacing Is your Lexus key fob unresponsive? The battery may need replacing if it's not working as it did. Be on the lookout for the following indicators that a new battery is needed: The key fob only works close to your Lexus, meaning the detection area is smaller. A low-battery alert sounds in your Lexus' cabin when the engine is stopped. Nothing happens when you push different buttons on the key fob. The LED indicator light on your Lexus key fob no longer turns on. Your Lexus' push button start or smart access system no longer functions. How To Change Your Lexus Key Fob Battery in Four Easy Steps Before you start the battery replacement process, ensure your hands are washed and dried to prevent battery rust caused by moisture in the key fob. The tool you need to replace your Lexus key fob battery is a flathead screwdriver or a small coin; you'll also need a replacement battery. You can refer to your vehicle's owners manual for specific instructions if required. Remember to be gentle at each step to prevent cracking the key fob or causing other internal or external damage. While the exact key fob battery replacement instructions vary from model to model, you can follow these steps to do it yourself: Push the release button on the side of the key fob to slide out and remove the metal mechanical key stored inside. Once the mechanical key is removed, open and remove the key fob cover. You can open it by inserting a flathead screwdriver or a small coin into the small indentation on the cover. Twist your tool to pop the cover open. You can access the old battery once you have removed the Lexus key fob cover. If an electronic key module is covering it, remove this piece first. Next, use the flathead screwdriver or small coin to remove the key fob's dead battery. Replace the old battery with a new one. Ensure you insert the new battery with the “+” terminal facing up. Replace the electronic key module if there is one. Last, put the key fob cover back on and slide the mechanical key back into the key fob. Test the buttons on your Lexus key fob to ensure the installation was correct. If, for some reason, the buttons still don't work or the LED indicator light doesn't come on, bring your key fob to a certified Lexus dealer. Our professional parts and service team will use the utmost care to remedy any issue you experience. What Kind of Battery Does a Lexus Key Fob Need? The battery type needed for your Lexus key fob depends on your vehicle's model and year. Lexus vehicles from 2010 and newer typically use CR1632 and CR1616 Panasonic batteries. Reference your Lexus owners manual for the key fob's particular battery size. If you're still unsure of what size battery you need, contact our parts department at Lexus Longo for expert assistance. We'll set you up with what you need or order replacement parts. How Long Does a Lexus Key Fob Battery Last? A Lexus key fob battery should last between one and two years. If you purchase aftermarket batteries, you risk having a shorter battery life and will need a replacement sooner than expected. That's why it's best to buy genuine Lexus replacement parts. Purchasing replacement parts from an authorized Lexus dealer ensures the best quality and long-lasting durability. Ways To Save Your Lexus Key Fob's Battery Did you know that your Lexus key fob has a power-saving mode? All Lexus models paired with a smart key have a power-saving mode to conserve battery life. It shuts off the key fob when not in use, helping it save battery power. Press the Lock button on your Lexus key fob to engage the power-saving mode, hold it down, and press the Unlock button twice. The LED indicator light will blink four times, indicating the power-saving mode is on. Smart key or remote access is disabled when the power-saving mode is on. Press any button on your Lexus key fob to disengage from power-saving mode. Another helpful tip to prolong the life of your key fob's battery is to avoid placing it near electrical appliances such as TVs, laptops, cellphones, and battery chargers. The magnetic fields produced by these appliances can drain your Lexus key fob's battery. Accessorize Your Lexus Key Fob Accessorizing your Lexus isn't limited to the vehicle itself. You can enhance the look of your key fob while protecting it at the same time. Purchase Lexus key gloves made from durable synthetic leather designed to fit your key fob perfectly and keep it clean and safe from dents or scratches. These special key gloves come in colors such as brown or black, with bronze, silver, or red stitching. They feature an embossed Lexus logo on the back and easy access to the mechanical key.

Both reach a full charge in under 10 hours. On a full charge, the i5 eDrive40 gets a 270- to 295-mile range, and the i5 M60 reaches 240 to 256 miles.

This model goes from zero to 60 mph in an astounding 4.4 seconds. Although the BMW reaches 60 mph faster than the Lexus, you still get two dynamic engine options with the 2024 Lexus ES. The ES 250 trims all feature a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that delivers 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, enabling the ES 250 to go from zero to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds. Select one of the 2024 Lexus ES 350 trim levels if you want more power. These trims feature a 3.5-liter V-6 engine producing 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque.

Vehicle paint protection film (PPF) is a transparent layer of urethane, a versatile polymer. It resembles plastic, but it's more resistant to cracks and tears. PPF protects vehicles from scratches and minor abrasions. It can also minimize salt air corrosion from driving near the ocean and help keep paint looking pristine. PPF prevents fading and gives paint a more glossy, polished appearance. Making a vehicle look more appealing can also increase its resale value. Cars with PPF are easier to clean, and they usually only require a soft cloth. Here are some of the types of PPFs available including their benefits. Gloss PPF Gloss PPF helps your vehicle look new for as long as possible. It makes paint look shinier while protecting it from gravel, tree sap, acid rain, bird droppings, and many other hazards. Some gloss PPFs resist UV rays, protecting your car from fading and discoloration. Satin PPF Satin PPF is for cars with matte finishes. The specialized paint on some luxury vehicles is very costly, and adding satin PPF can help you protect your investment. You can also use this type of PPF to change a glossy finish to a more matte look. Entry-Level PPF Entry-level PPF uses an older, less costly formula. While it's easier on the wallet, it usually doesn't include UV protection, so cars with it may be susceptible to fading. Fashion Film Fashion film comes in a variety of colors and lets people change the look of their vehicles without spending money on a new paint job. Self-Healing PPF Self-healing PPF uses heat from the vehicle's engine or the sun to help repair chips and scratches and make swirl marks less noticeable. It contains thermoplastic polymers that help the PPF return to its original shape after different types of damage. The latest self-healing PPF uses nanotechnology (the manipulation of materials on a molecular or atomic scale). This allows the healing agents to be dispersed evenly throughout the film to quickly heal minor chips or scratches on the PPF or painted surface layer. Edge Seal Technology Edge seal technology protects the edges of PPF from moisture and dirt. The sealant helps PPF retain its strength and clarity. It also provides protection against chemical damage from environmental contaminants or cleaners. Temporary PPF Cars on racetracks were the first to use temporary PPF, but consumers now use it for short-term protection during vehicle delivery, long trips towing a vehicle behind an RV, or similar situations. Off-Road PPF Off-road PPF is heavy-duty. It can withstand a variety of rugged conditions and protect paint from branches, rocks, and other debris encountered during your off-road adventure. PPF Layers PPF usually comes in ready-to-use rolls with different layers. The top layer keeps other layers clean and protects them until installation is over; then, the installer removes this layer. The middle layer has an adhesive that attaches the PPF to the vehicle's clear coat. When needed, you can remove the PPF without damaging the paint. The urethane layer is the thickest part of a PPF. It flexes after an impact from debris, reducing damage by absorbing most of the force. Some PPFs use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a base material instead of urethane. It's resistant to UV light, oil, water, chemicals, and grease. The last layer is a thin, clear film that seals the urethane layer and protects it from contaminants. It has a low surface energy to keep organic substances, such as bugs or bird droppings, from staining the film. Solvent-Based PPFs Solvent-based PPFs use a solvent as the base material. It creates a strong bond between the surface of the vehicle and the film. These PPFs are often thicker and more durable than other types of PPFs. Water-Based PPFs Water-based PPFs use a water-based adhesive for easier professional installation. They don't require any chemicals or solvents when being applied, and they offer excellent UV resistance. Ceramic Topcoats A ceramic topcoat doesn't provide as much protection from scratches as a PPF, but it can keep UV rays on those sunny California days and environmental contaminants from damaging your vehicle's paint job. We offer the Lexus Topcoat Ceramic Diamond Protection service at Longo Lexus, which is a 24-hour, eight-step process. The Benefits of PPF PPF can last for up to a decade. It can resist high temperatures and keep your vehicle looking shiny and new longer. It's easy to maintain, and clear PPFs can go over headlights. The amount of PPF coverage is customizable. Some owners only want PPF in the most vulnerable areas, such as the front bumper and hood. Others choose the investment of full-vehicle coverage. If your vehicle gets scratched or has other minor damage that self-healing can't fix, a professional can remove the damaged PPF and replace it with new film. Almost all automotive manufacturers approve PPFs as original equipment. Before getting a PPF, have any scratches or other damage to your vehicle's paint repaired. This keeps flaws in the paint from becoming trapped underneath the PPF. Having your PPF installed by a professional, such as 626 Customs at Longo Lexus, helps prevent peeling, blistering or bubbles beneath the surface, and other issues. Installing a PPF in a clean environment looks more flawless. Most PPFs are pre-cut using software to keep the film less than 1/8 inch from all edges. By avoiding the need for cutting the PPF on the vehicle, this system reduces the risk of damaging your vehicle's paint. Many PPF manufacturers offer five- to 10-year warranties on their PPFs. Paint Protection Is a Specialty PPF is one of many Longo Lexus specialties. Having one of our experts apply your PPF can keep your vehicle's paint in excellent condition longer. Find us at 3530 North Peck Road in El Monte, California, make an appointment today for one of our 626 Customs Powered by Longo team to install your PPF. Our service department is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Lexus by Werner Bayer is licensed with CC0 1.0 DEED

The Lexus LS is Lexus' flagship model, and it has a luxurious interior and a smooth, comfortable ride. The company is Toyota's luxury division, and LS is an abbreviation for luxury sedan. The LS 400 debuted to strong sales in 1989, and it helped Lexus become one of the most popular and successful luxury vehicle manufacturers. There are five generations of this car, and the 2024 Lexus LS is part of the latest. Here's some additional information about the history of the LS and its improvements over the years from our Longo Lexus team in El Monte, California. The Introduction of the LS The first LS generation started with the 1990 LS 400. It had a boxy profile, large, rectangular automatic headlights, fog lights, and chrome trim around the grille. The seats used premium leather, and standard features included heated power front seats, an air suspension, and a digital display for the heater and air conditioner. The instrument cluster had green on black lighting, and the 250 hp, 4.0L V-8 engine was reliable and efficient. It used a four-speed automatic transmission. In 1993, the LS 400 received a variety of updates, including changes in available trim levels and new colors. Improvements to the suspension system, steering, brakes, tires, and wheels made driving the LS 400 even more pleasurable. Until 2006, people in Japan called the Lexus LS the Toyota Celsior. The Second Generation The second LS generation started with the 1995 LS 400 in November 1994. The wheelbase widened 1.4 inches to 112.2 inches, and there were 2.6 more inches of legroom in the rear seats than in the first-generation LS. The second-generation LS also had more soundproofing. Both generations had similar styles, and they used the same four-speed automatic transmission and motor. Despite its larger size, the 1995 LS was 209 pounds lighter than the 1994 model. In 1998, a mid-cycle refresh added a redesigned front grille, new doors, a five-speed automatic transmission for additional speed, efficiency, and responsiveness, and a new variable valve timing system that increased the V-8's hp from 250 to 290. The 1998 Lexus LS also received a GPS navigation system with maps recorded on CD-ROMs, an advanced fuel meter that showed daily usage, and redesigned side mirrors to reduce wind noise. It had a climate control system with an improved filter and an antenna that was part of the rear window as well. The LS 430 The third generation of the LS appeared at the North American International Motor Show in 2000. Lexus called it the 2001 LS 430 for its larger 4.3L engine, which produced 290 hp and had an increased torque of 320 lb-ft. The LS 430 included a new adaptive cruise control system, which used lasers to monitor the location and speed of vehicles ahead, and an adjusted center of gravity and ride height increased stability. The LS 430 also had an anti-theft system, LED taillights, smaller gaps in body panels, narrower fog lights, a restyled bumper, and wood interior accents. In 2004, the LS 430 received a six-speed automatic transmission and radar instead of lasers for the cruise control. This system was more reliable in bad weather. The LS 460 The fourth Lexus LS generation started with the LS 460 in 2007. It had a more stylish, aerodynamic look than previous LS models, and the new 4.6L V-8 generated 380 hp, an impressive upgrade. The LS 460 was the first production car with an automated parking system and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It also had eight air bags, a tire pressure monitoring system, automatic headlights, and a pre-collision system that automatically closed the windows and sunroof and tightened the seat belts before a collision. The LS 460 L had a long wheelbase, and an optional executive package included a reclining and massaging rear seat, an ottoman, and a folding table. An all-wheel-drive hybrid called the LS 600h was available as well. It combined a 5.0L V-8 engine with the two electric motors in Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, and it provided a total of 438 hp. A hybrid vehicle with a long wheelbase called the LS 600h L was also optional. In 2010, Lexus introduced a new Sport trim level with Brembo brakes and a sport-tuned air suspension. The LS adopted the spindle grille found on many other Lexus models in 2013, and an F-Sport trim level became part of the lineup. The Fifth-Generation LS 500 The fifth-generation LS 500 arrived in 2018, and it used the Toyota New Generation Architecture - Luxury platform. The 3.4L twin-turbo V-6 delivered 415 hp. Lexus only offered one wheelbase length, but the executive package remained optional. The hybrid LS 500h included a 3.5L V-6 and a multi-stage hybrid transmission that simulated a 10-speed automatic transmission. Previous models had an upper grille and a smaller lower grille, but the LS 500 came with one large, angular grille and matching clusters with headlights, fog lights, and turn lights. The infotainment screen expanded to 12.3 inches. In 2021, the LS 500 received better insulation for a quieter ride and a touch screen. The awesome 2024 Lexus LS has a large grille and aggressive-looking, triangular headlights. It can carry up to five people, and it includes the following fantastic features: A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. A rear power sunshade to keep the sun off your passengers. Dual-zone climate control. A 12-speaker sound system. Apple CarPlay. Android Auto integration. Active noise cancellation to block road sounds. Six USB ports. Heated and cooled 16-way power front seats. An auto-dimming rearview mirror. You can choose 19- or 20-inch wheels, and heated rear seats, massaging seats, a 7-inch rear touch screen, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are optional.

When shopping for the perfect Lexus, you may notice the company uses a system of letters and numbers to name the vehicles in its lineup. But what do the Lexus numbers and letters mean? It's not as complicated as it may seem, and once you understand the naming convention, you'll have no trouble finding a model that's right for you. Let's go over what the numbers and letters mean using some of Lexus' most popular models as examples. Lexus ES The "E" in the Lexus ES stands for "Executive," and the "S" is for "Sedan." Put them together and the model is the "Executive Sedan." The number 350 often accompanies this luxury model. For most Lexus vehicles, these numbers represent the engine displacement. So for the ES 350, the number signifies that the car has a 3.5-liter engine. Lexus IS For the Lexus IS, the "S" doesn't stand for "Sedan" as it does in other vehicles that use the letter. Instead, it stands for "Sport," and the "I" is for "Intelligent." So the Lexus IS is the "Intelligent Sport." You'll find IS models with 300, 350, and 500 in the name, which means the option of a 3.0-, 3.5-, or 5.0-liter engine. For the IS 500, you may notice the F Sport addition to the name. This is how Lexus identifies its sportier models with fine-tuned suspensions and upgraded chassis. Lexus LS Everyone knows Lexus vehicles are luxurious, but you might not know the "L" in the Lexus LS actually stands for "Luxury." So the Lexus LS is the "Luxury Sedan."

Are you looking for a small, compact SUV heading into 2024? If so, you'll definitely want to explore the new 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid. This SUV is one of the smaller models available across all manufacturers to the point where you may mistake it for a sedan. In addition to its compact size, the Lexus UX Hybrid features a luxury cabin, powerful performance, and strong fuel efficiency thanks to its hybrid powertrain. To help you better decide if this is the hybrid SUV for you, read on to find out all you need to know about the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid. Exterior Styling On the outside of the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you'll find a ton of small design elements that add up to a modern and sophisticated look. From the sleek side mirrors and aerodynamic headlamps to the dark roof rails and prominent front grille, the elements of the exterior design all complement one another. The base model looks great as is, but if you want some different styling options or more features, you can do so with the other trims. For instance, you can get rain-sensing windshield wipers or automatic headlamp leveling, along with painted wheel arch molding or a power tilt-and-slide moonroof. The 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid is also available in a range of colors, making it easy to find one that matches your style. You can choose from the following colors: Caviar Obsidian Redline Nori Green Pearl Grecian Water Cloudburst Gray Iridium Eminent White Pearl Cadmium Orange To truly appreciate the design choices of the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, we highly recommend seeing it in person at our dealership in El Monte, California, as pictures and descriptions don't do it justice. Powertrain Performance There are four trim configurations available for the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, and all come with a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain and a continuously variable automatic transmission. This setup delivers 181 horsepower, which is enough to give this hybrid Lexus a snappy and powerful driving experience. You can get either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) with each trim. Opting for AWD gives your UX Hybrid more control when driving on tougher terrain or bad weather conditions, but it also reduces its fuel efficiency. Finally, with the UX Hybrid, you can upgrade to the F SPORT package with the top two trims. Doing so gives your Lexus a sportier feel to the suspension, along with 18-inch wheels on run-flat tires. The F SPORT package primarily impacts the driving experience but also comes with some upgrades to the interior and exterior styling. Fuel Efficiency One of the biggest benefits of choosing the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid is its fuel efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice if you're trying to save money at the gas pump or if you just want to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. When you select a UX Hybrid with FWD, you can expect to get around 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA. Going with AWD instead drops these estimates slightly to 41 mpg and 38 mpg, respectively. In either case, you're getting one of the more fuel-efficient SUVs on the road today, without sacrificing luxury or performance. Interior Cabin Once you step inside the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you'll have no doubt this is a luxury vehicle. Even though it's a small SUV, many will find the interior cabin spacious enough. Throughout the cabin are soft, high-quality materials that mix well with the modern styling. Those in the front will appreciate standard features such as dual-zone climate control and power-adjustable seats, which can be upgraded further with a head-up display and heated/ventilated seats. Those in the back will like the extra legroom, which allows even adult passengers to remain comfortable in the rear. Finally, there's a decent amount of cargo space in the trunk, and you should have no trouble fitting a few suitcases or your weekly groceries back there. Entertainment Options The interior experience gets even better with the inclusion of a touch-screen infotainment system. This display, in the center of the front console, comes packed with features that make driving your 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid more enjoyable. For one, it has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations so that you can easily sync your smartphone device. If you want even more entertainment options from your 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you can upgrade it in a number of ways. Some options include a larger touch screen, a wireless charging pad for your devices, a built-in navigation system, and a premium 10-speaker audio system. With all these features, and more, included with your 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you'll find yourself enjoying your driving experience each time you get behind the wheel. Safety Features Finally, there are the safety features included with the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid. Each model of the UX Hybrid comes with the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, a suite of driver-assistance features. These include automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature. With such a comprehensive safety system, you can feel secure knowing you have the latest tech to help keep you safe on the road. 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid Trims and MSRPs With the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, there are four trim options to choose from. Which trim you select determines not only the included features but also the final MSRP. Since there are a few significant differences between some trim levels, we highly recommend exploring them in depth to determine which one is best for you. The available trim levels and their respective MSRPs are: UX 250h: $36,690 UX 250h Premium: $39,150 UX 250h F SPORT Design: $39,150 UX 250h F SPORT Handling: $44,120 Explore the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid in El Monte If you live in or around El Monte, California, and you want to experience everything the 2024 Lexus UX has to offer, come to Longo Lexus.
