From the handbook, disabling the tilt and intrusion sensors

Why not simply ask your dealer? You'll just get a myriad of opinions here...

Broken temperature probe and/or wiring

Lexus (in the owner's handbook) recommends cleaning the leather with a weak solution of wool detergent in warm water, do not soak, then dry with a clean cloth. Lexus does a leather cleaning kit which works really well at removing dye transfer and includes a sealant to help prevent further staining. The only downside is it smells quite 'chemically'. Understandable as the Japanese don't like the smell of leather. I wouldn't use a conditioner on modern automotive leathers as generally it is PU sealed and the conditioner just sits on the surface attracting grit and dirt, which if left in creases can cause cracking. I had the interior of my Mercedes retrimmed in a naked nappa leather, the most sumptuous feeling but my word was it very high maintenance!

Some insurers see it as a modification and it increases the costs of repair should a panel need repainting. There have been reports of insurance being refused.

Lexus paint has self healing properties in the clear coat. Swirls and minor scratches will self repair. Stone chips another story, I had a significant chip within 6 weeks on my RC 🥴 If applying PPF don't forget to declare it to you insurer...

Yes they are significant. Use Google to translate the German website.

Speed camera alerts happen even when the Lexus sat nav isn't running, well it does/did on mt RX and RC

Speed camera alert? Rear seatbelt reminder?

I'm sure the dealer can disable the function, it's listed in the Customisations section. Techstream will be needed

Might simply be from valeting the interior, water leaks don't normally flow upwards as in the second image?

Plus the Japanese dislike the smell of genuine leather, which is why none of their cars that have leather actually smell like leather..

Have a read here regarding the SEG scheme (which replaced the feed-in tariff in 2019) https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/environmental-and-social-schemes/smart-export-guarantee-seg Regarding the smart meter, I have no idea, wouldn't entertain one myself. I use the energy monitoring software app that comes with my PV battery storage system.

No hard copy manuals in my 2020 RX, just a very brief 'Quick Start' booklet. Even my 2016 RC had no hard copy handbooks. All handbooks are available to view/download on the Lexus website.

DRLs are mandatory on all new cars from 2012ish. Maybe they only come on when the car is out of Park? There will be a setting in the system to enable headlights coming on unlocking. On my RX one has to push the headlamp stalk forward immediately after switching the car off for them to come for 20sec, a see you home function..

Don't confuse Active Sound Control with the Active Noise Control. The former generates an artificial sporty engine noise which is adjustable with the knurled wheel on the dash, the latter is an out of phase sound generated by the system to counter any muffled engine noise to give a quieter ambience in the cabin. I don't believe one can adjust or disable ANC.

The offside driver's bolster gets sat on each time someone gets in or out, it's usual for the bolster to show creases and signs of being squashed. It could be argued it's wear and tear, so not covered by warranty, the car is 9yrs old..

Just phone them and ask!

The quality of the finish wrap will be severely degraded if the paint surface is badly chipped/scratched. Also check with your insurer, some do not look kindly to cars with vinyl wrap

Takumi grade is always leather

SAGA

Never had a problem with the a/c on auto, the system copes very well with changing conditions even changing the airflow side to side with the direction of the sun.. The climate concierge even set the seat heating/cooling very efficiently ..

I always thought the temperature displayed on the dash was the ambient air temp, not the cabin temp and nothing to do with the a/c. If one sets the climate control to 20c the system will operate to achieve that temp irrespective of the outside/ambient temp by heating or cooling.

Id be surprised if it doesn't. What does the handbook say in the Customisation section?
