Despite repeated button presses of the keyfob, the CT200h remained resolutely locked the other day, leaving me to resort to the old-fashioned key – located within the keyfob – to gain access. Once inside, I discovered a complete absence of power, and after exhausting the advice in the handbook, I had to call The AA, Lexus‘s breakdown service. As promised, help arrived in 40 minutes, and the mechanic set about identifying the cause of my problem – an interior rear light that had been left on. A quick battery recharge and I was off again, wondering how best to raise the issue with my kids.
