Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and select P; confirm the surrounding area is safe before opening a door.
- 02
Normally, press the front side of the inside door-opener switch to unlatch the door electronically.
- 03
If the door is not fully unlatched, operate the same switch as a manual release handle and pull it twice.
- 04
Open the door carefully while holding it securely, especially on a slope, in strong wind or beside a wall.
Important limits
- Never operate an inside release while driving. The driver's door can open even when locked, so take special care with children and passengers.
- Use the rear-door child protector locks whenever a child rides in a rear seat.
- The normal electronic inside-opener conditions include P, or vehicle speed below about 2 mph with the parking brake engaged or brake pedal depressed.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the electronic opener repeatedly fails or the door does not latch securely, stop using the door and have the system inspected by Lexus.
- ✓For a passenger door during normal operation, unlock it before pressing the electronic opener.
