For what it is worth, I drive a 2009 Toyota Venza, which has the same
remote key lock/start/stop key as the Lexus ... To start you simply
have the key in your pocket, step on the brake, START/STOP turns
green, push, car starts.
This morning I started the car and drove down the road, pushed the
START/STOP ... nothing, stepped on brake, pushed ... nothing.
However I could easily slip the transmission to neutral.
Granted I was not going 120, closer to 20, but it would indeed go to neutral.
