Don't leave the transmission in N as the system can't recharge the hybrid battery even if the engine is running.

"Approximately 80% of the vehicles on UK roads already meet minimum ULEZ emissions standards: Euro 4 for petrol (from January 2006) and the tougher Euro 6 for diesel (from September 2015). This means that every petrol or petrol-electric hybrid Lexus produced since January 2006 is ULEZ compliant and therefore exempt from paying this surcharge." https://mag.lexus.co.uk/london-congestion-charge-ulez/#:~:text=This means that every petrol,exempt from paying this surcharge.

Make sure you are formatting to FAT32 not the default ExFAT Windows now uses, the car cannot recognise ExFAT. I had to use a third party app to force the formatting to FAT32

On average I probably give the car a wipe down every couple of days, maybe every day depending on the conditions.. To do the wheels I now have to sit on the same box I use to reach the centre of the RX roof, my knees are shot!

Another quote from that article.. "It is even worth considering the possibility that Lexus may not of had a problem with their LS400 models at all. If done right, a company can provide ‘excellent’ customer service if they fabricate a fixable issue and then provide first-class service while fixing the issue." Was it simply a publicity stunt? Or was it a cautious reaction to a potentially dangerous fault? Either way it only concerned a relatively small number of vehicles Not the same as a 'simple' loss of a car due to the ingenuity of car thieves. Potentially involving many hundreds of thousands of vehicles..

Is this after declaring themselves independent? 🤓 😉

Presumably because they believe it is unsafe? No reason to mention it otherwise and I personally wouldn't second guess it..

Trunk Monkey may result in prosecution for keeping a primate in unsuitable accommodation.... 😉

Yellow is a very rare colour, for a very good reason. It's not at all popular! If you are getting offers to buy it, bite their hand off. You could be waiting a long time for the special person who wants a high mileage, yellow IS200

Top spec is always the Takumi, although you can get more tech in an F-Sport with Takumi spec. My guess is the Takumi will be more 'luxurious' with softer seats and suspension. You need to get out in one or two examples because I think you might find it difficult to equal the comfort/ride quality of the GS

I posted something similar regarding the accuracy of the speed limit warning. Seems the car's GPS/maps overides the camera recognition?

Page 785 under Customisations in the ■ RSA (Road Sign Assist) section The setting procedure is on page 476

One can also delete the destination, thereby cancelling the route guidance, (page 93 in the Nav manual) Press the “MAP” button on the Remote Touch. Select *** on the map screen. Select “Route” When a destination is set Select “Delete”. Select “Yes”.

I found these articles quite helpful in understanding negative voltages. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/can-voltage-be-negative-understanding-negative-voltage/ http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/What-is-negative-voltage

Locking wheel nuts were always a dealer, or at least post assembly, fit. Personally I wouldn't bother these days

It's simply legalese. They could never openly admit or even hint, at any shortcomings. Just imagine the law suits and claims that would ensue.

If you multimedia system is the same as mine..

Your car being first registered after 2012 is legally required to have working TPMS

Whilst researching info on electronic key battery charge level notification I came across this in my handbook. Looks like Lexus put some level of security into the car's system regarding key cloning ■If “A New Key has been Registered Contact Your Dealer for Details” is shown on the multi-information display This message will be displayed each time the driver’s door is opened when the doors are unlocked from the outside for approximately one week after a new electronic key has been registered. If this message is displayed but you have not had a new electronic key registered, ask any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to check if an unknown electronic key (other than those in your possession) has been registered.

According to the handbook (both mine and for your model/year) there would be an alarm when the hybrid system stops to alert one the key battery is low.

I rather wait when my car is in for service. I usually as for the first slot in the morning and to date have only had to wait a couple of hours. When the RC went in to investigate the non-functioning SatNav I was given a courtesy car and ended up keeping it over a week! It took that long to get Lexus.jp to remotely assess the system and authorise replacement. When the power rear door failed on the RX I was given a courtesy car and had only just got home to be told the car was ready!. I'm sure most service centres would appreciate the flexibility of having the customer's car "all day" but mine seems happy to accommodate my requests.

Well, it's not universal within Lexus as my dealership answers within 3-4 rings and only on a couple of occasions was I told they would ring back as the service desk was busy. They always do, usually within 10 minutes.

And fewer/cheaper additives ... I'm not saying supermarket feels are bad, just not as good.

Michelin get my vote for anything with any real power.
