Question Need help finding the kill switch

My friend is the owner of the lexus and she has a ton of stuff going on right now and isn't super car savvy. I don't know new cars well, but hadn't been able to find my answer anywhere else.

She has a fifth gen ES and got in a fender bender. The car won't start now and I know on my other cars there's been a kill switch to shut the engine off so it doesn't explode in the event it gets hit at high speed. Where is that located on the fifth gen ES's? Is there another way to reset the computer so it'll start?
