Sounds perfectly normal 

You say you had to turn off the wipers, so you had left them on Auto when you switched off and locked the car? On Mercedes with auto wipers they would always wipe once the IGN was switched on to show they were set to Auto. Could it be similar, except as the car 'woke-up' the wipers signalled they were on Auto?

Have you checked the earthing point?

I doubt a private driveway classes as a public place.

If it is accessible to the public, i.e. no locked gates etc.. then that's debatable  

Dry grommet where the column goes through the bulkhead.

DON'T spray anything between the wheel and the column, there's electric contacts etc.. in there!

You can get all wheel alignment done for around £75 , Kwik fit , Halfords 

Or you can get it done properly at the dealership ...

Thanks NemsisUK. I’ve just tried that and whilst it does work, it then resets itself back once the car is switched off!

All for safety, but these are not legal UK requirements and so there should be an element of choice - as all other manufacturers offer. Ho hum.

 

Is it one of those settings that needs to be made in the My Settings menu as well? The car knows who is driving by the keyfob?

The RX seems to do it in conjunction with the wipers being on so I cant see why the LBX wouldnt

So the current RX does switch on the lights with the wipers? That's a definite improvement on the previous version..👍 

From the RX500 handbook. Nothing similar in the LBX  though..

A separate question - do the headlights come on after the wipers operate a few times as the did in my BMW?

Not on my RC or the RX, miss that obvious function, had it on my Mercs but in EU dipped headlamps are mandatory in rain maybe not so in Japan?

Thanks - is the USB stick 2.0 or 3.0/3.1/3.2 ?

Sorry, yes USB 2.0

I used a 256GB USB clean formatted to FAT32 and extracted to the root directory. Be careful formatting the drive as Win11 automatically uses ExFAT

I logged into the e-store yesterday and saw the 2024 update which had recently arrived. I went through the purchase process and downloaded the file - it’s a 23Gb zip file, 27Gb when unzipped so that’s not coming over the air anytime soon! I started copying the update to a USB stick but after 3 hours gave up as it was only about 40% through.  God knows how long it would take to copy from the stick to the car. Definitely keep the car in ready mode for that! I think I’ll get the dealer to do it instead. 

When I updated my RX the files took less than 5min to unpack onto the USB. The transfer to the car was accomplished over the next 5 or 6 trips in the car. The update pauses and resumes the next time the car is used. Not sure how or if the dealers can expedite this and generally they dislike tying up space in the workshop, they normally have the car on a Battery charger to avoid gassing the techs!

As the leather is sealed a simple wipe with a damp cloth is all that's needed. Lexus recommend a weak wool soap solution in luke warm water for deeper cleaning. A gentle vacuum before to remove any gritty bits etc is best done routinely to help prevent cracks forming due to abrasion.

The non leather surfaces just wipe over with a microfibre cloth any marks or fingerprints can be removed with a proprietary interior detailing spray. I use Meg's quick interior detailer.

Your handbook will give recommend routine cleaning advice.

We used a seat protector/pad from the child seat manufacturer. Just a robust padding that spreads the load more evenly across the seat, so protecting the leather from point pressure. Worked well. Must be many available from places that sell child seats or online, amazon?

I would think the loom is also universal. Can't understand why they aren't standard.

Manufacturers can save ££££s by not including connectors and wires that are not required. Certainly been my experience with Mercedes where just one wire was omitted from the windscreen washer loom to enable the installation of headlamp washers!

Can anyone advise me on how to adjust the HUD display - without adjusting the seat position?

 

From the owner's handbook ..

My LBX came with a paper handbook.

The full handbook, or the abridged "Get Started" version? 

Maybe it's one of those 'driver aides' that reset each cycle of the Power button i.e. you need to disable each time

The sensitivity setting is linked with the LDA settings

Adjust the steering wheel slightly?

The function can be switched off using the centre display

or if I wasn’t cancelling it properly. The HUD showed a “return” symbol and mostly I pressed that one

The function sensitivity can be adjusted check in  the Customisation section of the handbook

From the handbook

Perhaps the second paragraph? Maybe your seating position is low for the camera?

One can disable the warnings

Sell the car for spares and buy a more modern model..

A quick Google comes up with 433MHz

The complete procedure is detailed starting on page 455 of the owner's handbook. One can register two sets of wheels to the car for easy swapping between summer and winter sets

Interesting but ultimately irrelevant as it's difficult to, legally, change ones job title...

Your handbook will detail exactly how to do this.
