The basics:

Enough fuel in tank?
Pressing the brake pedal before pressing the start button?
Are the new battery poles correctly connected?

Thank you for reply.
What battery you talking about?
I don't think so... Batteries are connected correctly...
No key detected how can it start?

On my LS460 if the keyfob battery is low the system will automatic prompt you to put the keyfob against the PTS button to start the car.
In his car it does not say that??

It might not say it, but it works the same.

Hold it Lexus emblem towards the button until the light turns green, then press to start.
