There Is no lock on the passengers handle. The lock is the same on both RHD and LHD, but the direction you turn it is. Turning left on a RHD car is the same direction as turning right on a LHD car. I've just drawn it out on a piece of paper. Sad.

Yes this is what I meant, you put it somewhat more eloquently

The above image show to unlock you turn the key away from the hing of the door handle which on a RHD car is to the left. I think the image above is for LHD cars

Hi guys quick update. Had to call the AA this morning. He turned the key TO THE LEFT and it opened easy as that. I was turning to the right. He diagnosed the battery in the boot as being flat. He jump started it and I drove to Lexus after paying him £170! Lexus have fitted a new battery for £180. They said there was no unusual drain on the battery and it had just come to the end of its life. Could've jump started it myself. Ah well I hope this post is useful to someone in the future

Thanks. Do you mean the normal battery rather than the hybrid battery? I had a lexus service done a few months ago and they didn't report any problems. It is under the rolling warrant they give for servicing with them

Thankyou. I will try that tomorrow morning. My commute to work is a 60 mile round trip 3 days a week, so it's not like I do short trips to flatten the battery. Wonder why this has happened

Thankyou. I will try again in the morning.

I will ring them in the morning. I'm not covered by any of them. I shudder to think the cost. I'm puzzled why my manual key doesn't work

I tried as hard as I could in both directions til my fingers hurt. It's a 2019 plate so I would hope the battery isn't dead. Even if it was, it doesn't take much power to operate the central locking.

Evening folks. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I couldn't get into my RC300h this evening. I instantly thought it was the battery in the key fob. Changed that. The red light works on the key fob but the car still doesn't unlock. I then tried the manual key. That turns 90⁰ but doesn't unlock the car. It doesn't even work in the boot manual lock. I tried spraying WD40 in the lock to loosen it up. Still nothing. Can anyone help? I don't know what to do. Thanks

Anyone near Leicestershire?

Thanks for that tip. Is there a YouTube guide on how to do this? Or a how to sticky on this site? Failing that would you be kind enough to post on this thread how to do it? Thanks

Btw. They have me a UX as a courtesy car, which wasn't as nice inside. Also they changed the fuel pump due to an outstanding recall. Overall a pleasant experience at the stealers.

Absolutely spot on that was the setting when he showed me! I downloaded and printed both manuals, you would have thought a premium marque would include them 🙄. Lots of pages. Just a quick question about the car. Does it have Android Auto? I don't think it does as I can't find a setting for it but just making sure.

Just heard back from Lexus. The starting issue, the technician said, was because of a setting I had changed in one of the menus. He said it is working fine now. So just about to go and pick it up.
