Thx for the new SmartAccess info, spwolf! Looks stylistically nice, I hope the function is as easy or better. The way it 'blends in' reminds me of the headlamp washers on the LS 460, it's a feature that is integrated in such a way you don't really notice it unless really looking.

So you lock the button by pressing the top of the handle?

as to the atkinson, i am pretty sure most of power you lose, is at the top end, which isnt really used in hybrids anyway...

it looks like for the smart access, you slide your finger on top. i dont see a button so most likely its touch sensitive. kinda like a laptop fingerprint reader (without the fingerprint reader) lol

hmm, I'll have to change the way I lock the door if that's the case. As of now, I close the door with one finger on the black button. If you close fast enough, it'll shut and lock. If it's a tad late, it'll do the lock beep but won't lock and if it's too late, well you'll get the long beep.

Is this smart access different than the keyless entry/push button start available on the IS F? If it is the same, there is no need to press anything. All that you need is to have the key fob on your person, and when you pull the door handle it will automatically open. You can set the memory to either just open the driver side door, or change it to unlock all four doors when the driver side is opened. Put your foot on the brake, push the button and you're ready to go. The fob never has to leave your pocket. It is super convenient.

I apologize if this was covered earlier in the thread, I'll admit I haven't read it all.

I agree, the current SmartAccess is super convenient.
Also, thx Rashoodz for the pics.
