Locking/Unlocking Doors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus RX 300 and 2002 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When you push the LOCK button on the key briefly, all the side doors and back door can be locked from outside the vehicle. At this time, you can hear 1 beep (the beep volume can be changed) and the turn signal lights flash (the turn signal lights can be set not to flash). However, when you push the LOCK button with any door not closed securely, the buzzer sounds for 10 seconds (the buzzer can be set not to sound if a door is not closed securely). To stop the buzzer, close all the side doors and back door securely or push the UNLOCK button. If the key is in the ignition switch, locking cannot be done.

When you push the UNLOCK button, the driver's door is unlocked. Pushing that button once again within 3 seconds from the first push, all other side doors and back door are also unlocked (the 2-step unlocking function can be changed).

At this time, 2 beeps sound (the beep volume can be changed). Together with the activation of unlocking, the interior light comes on for 15 seconds if the interior light switch is in DOOR position (the interior light can be set not to come on or the duration of lighting can be changed). However, this function does not work when the ignition key is in the ON position.

You have 30 seconds to open a door after using the wireless remote unlock feature (the time before automatic re-locking can be changed). If a door is not opened by then, all the doors will be automatically locked again.

Even if the LOCK or UNLOCK button is kept pressed in, the locking or unlocking operation is not repeated. Release the button and then push again.
