Steering Wheel Lock, Electronic Key Required?

[Knut993TT]

I just bought a 2012 RX350 AWD on an auction and it is being shipped to my home on a car carrier. The problem is, there are no keys with the car and it was loaded using a forklift. For the unload process, does the steering wheel-lock require the electronic key or not?

The instruction manual describe how to release the transmission from P to N.

My local dealer explained how to get new keys programmed but was a little unclear on the steering wheel lock question...

tnx

im not sure of the exact car. but most cars that have keyless entry and start, dont have a steering wheel lock. or so ive been told.

You need the smart key to unlock the wheel. Have smart key in your pocket somewhere, press and hold the brake down, turn the steering wheel a bit, then press the start button and that will unlock the wheel and start the car.
