Just curious how people lock their door.
For me (2005 LS430), I use:
Door lock switch: 5% of the time.
FOB: 10%
Button on outside door handle: 85%

 

Door lock switch as I exit 90% of the time.

 

FOB: 95%
Door Lock Switch: 5%

 

I use the key all the time.

 

the button 100%

 

about 50% button, 49% fob, 1% key when battery dies on fob!

Button on the door handle 100%.

 

I dont even know what percentage, but i use the fob about a dozen times a year and that's it. Rest is the smartaccess button.

 

Have never used the key for anything. Door button 100% of the time. I even forget to leave the key in the car when I have a dealer appointment for service. They have to remind me. Can't imagine why anyone would fumble around for the key.

 

Isn't this inconvenient?

unless of course if your pwr door lock button and key fob doesn't work its understandable.

 

I use key fob 99% of the time.

 

I always use the door handle in the daytime. At night, I'll initially lock it with the handle then press the fob to turn off the lights as i walk away. If I'm in a rush sometimes I forget altogether

 

On my car if I press the door handle twice at night it shuts off the lights just like the fob.

 

Door handle button 99% of the time...

Key fob that 1% when I forget if I actually locked it already

 

With my 2003 LS 430:


Unlocking:

1. Key: 40% (I do this almost every time I am approaching the car by myself, and need access to the driver's door first. Why? B/c I've had locks on other cars get a little 'stiff' after very little use, so I'm trying to keep everything working properly. I also use the key 30% of the time for the trunk.)

2. FOB: 60% (If I'm approaching the car in the rain, need access to a different door than the driver's door first [I hate that there are no other key holes!], or if someone is with me--so that there is no waiting for that person.)


Locking:

1. Manually moving door lock itself on the inside, affecting just the driver's door: 95% of the time.

2. Electronic door lock switch on the inside that affects all 4 doors: 4.9% of the time.

3. FOB: 0.1%
