What new owners should know

[Billeo]

Hi All, I'm awaiting my new RZ, my first EV, and my first Lexus, so I joined the group as a new member today. I've heard reviewers' comments about the number of irritating warning 'bings & bongs' in the RZ. Can these be muted quickly? Are there any other tips you would give to a new owner? Things you wish you had known?

Welcome 😃

Not sure what can be muted on the RZ.

Welcome

 

Most 'bings and bongs' as you put it, are mandated by EU law (I accept we are not in the EU,  however they aren't going to make a separate edition for a relatively small market) They can, in general, be switched off, if you are prepared to dig into the car's settings, but will be back again (EU law) the next time you start the car. All new vehicles are effected,  not just Lexus ...most people just learn to live with it

If you haven't done so already, download the manuals (there are two,  an owners manual and a separate one for navigation and entertainment) your car from here:

Lots of bedtime reading...!

Enjoy your car and post a few photos when it arrives....

The best of luck with all that my friend.  By the looks of it, the newer the car - the more bings/bongs/warning chimes you'll get.  As I've said elsewhere, my car is 4 years old, and I don't have to put up with anywhere near the amount of bings/bongs/warning chimes I got in my 2024 LBX courtesy car. It somehow makes me laugh that plod can prosecute drivers for being on their mobile phones whilst driving, whilst car manufacturers can drive drivers to total distraction with infinite warning signals from a cars operating system without fear of any comeback...beginning to beggar belief🤔
