Question on Keyless Entry

Hello. I am a returning forum member after being without an LS for 5 years. I have a 2014. When I come up to open the door using keyless entry (door is locked) the vehicle will chime/beep 5 times ..I can't find that in the manual. Does anyone know what this thing is trying to tell me? It happens every time I go to open the locked door. Thanks!

Just a guess could be a low battery in the remote. If you hold the remote close almost touching the handle it should unlock when you grab the handle.

Is one of your spare wireless keys inside the car when you lock it?

It's pretty easy to check for another key. With only one key on your person (other keys should be separated from the car by more than 30 feet), see it you can lock the doors by pressing the button on the driver's door handle - you should hear just 1 beep from the sounder.
