BTW, how DO you shut off the engine with the keyless ignition and a "Start" button? Throw the key out the window?
I'm serious - just thought about it now after a friend took me to lunch in (guess what) a 2009 loaner from her Lexus dealer. Is the "Start" button also a "Stop" button? If the driver had an older model, with key ignition, I could understand the panic, but also wonder why shifting to neutral, for example wasn't on his / her list of things to do before a 911 call.

Found this over here http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/lofiversio...32473.html

When the shift lever position is in the N position, the engine start condition is different according to the vehicle speed.
- At a vehicle speed of less than 4 km/h (2.5MPH), the engine can start only when the brake pedal is depressed.
- At a vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2.5MPH) or more, the engine can start even if the brake pedal is not depressed. (It is the same as “Engine stall return operation while driving”.)

When the shift lever position is in any position other than the P position and when the vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3.1MPH) or more, the engine stop condition is different.
- Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more. (When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for too short a time, the operation may be invalid, so properly press and hold to prevent an incorrect operation.)
- Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times or more within 1.5 seconds. (Emergency stop operation)
