Based on the search results, it seems that locking a Lexus with the engine running can be a bit tricky. Some Lexus owners have reported that they are unable to lock their cars while the engine is running using the key fob or the interior lock button [[3]]. However, there are a few potential workarounds that you can try:
1. Use the physical key: Some Lexus owners have reported success in locking their cars with the engine running by using the physical key in the door lock. You can try inserting the key into the driver’s door lock and manually locking it from the outside.
2. Use the door switch: Another method that some Lexus owners have mentioned is to reach inside the car and lock the doors using the door switch. After locking the doors, you can close the window using the auto up feature of the window switch.
Please note that these methods may not work for all Lexus models, and it’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a Lexus dealership for specific instructions related to your model.
It’s important to keep in mind that leaving a running vehicle unattended can pose safety risks and may be illegal in some jurisdictions. Always prioritize safety and follow local laws and regulations when considering leaving your vehicle running.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
