had my car for a few months now and love it, what I do find strange is the reversing sensors on mine you have to turn it on with the button under the steering wheel , where on my last car it was automatic when you went into reverse, only a little bugbear but odd

Do you mean reversing camera? It should come on when putting the gear selector in reverse. It does so on our car.

Do not know what a reversing sensor is.

These little round ones 4 on the rear bumper and 2 up front?

Once you've turned it on under the steering wheel they should remain on though. I have both the sensors and the camera, and once I switched the sensors on I haven't had to touch them since. Perhaps there's a setting somewhere that keeps them on as default.

Then just switch it on and leave it on, that's what you're meant to do. It's no good if you forget to switch it on and you bang into something when parking.

What did we do before all these sensors and rear view cameras were on the cars?

Learned to drive!

Perhaps it’s an age thing, but I quite appreciate the sensors.  

They are adjustable for sensitivity, but I rather like the strident warnings about solid, fixed objects - and even more so the early warnings of approaching vehicles and pedestrians, often as yet not visible in my mirrors.

And I expect they do too!

The one reversing aid I have installed is an LED bulb to replace the Toc H lamp that Lexus fits as standard.

It’s a standard wedge fitting like the original bulb, not that much bigger - but far superior in its white light output.  

I don’t do much night driving in reverse, but every little helps!
