Unfortunately, All Lexus models do not lock while car is on! I guess it's a safety feature.

Cannot be done unfortunately. I would love to lock my car while it's on for at least 30 seconds if I forgot something.

make sure you have the remote with you - roll down your window and lock the doors then roll up the window !!

whenever you come back use the key inside the remote to open up the car !!

this is the easiet way

I do this all the time. Use the physical key that is in your key fob to lock and unlock the car when you are outside of it.
