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.

I only ever fill up with Shell V-Power. No need to but for the price difference on the miles I do it's insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Horses for courses of course but personally I would never use supermarket fuels, they're cheaper for a reason ...

True but not when in ACC mode, only when in READY mode.

It's a relatively common problem and the same solution in Mercedes models. The air distribution flaps go out of sync/calibration and just need resetting via MB Star diagnosis software. Always the first thing to try.

Handbook recommendations are for cold pressure i.e. before the car has been driven any distance. If you are only reaching the recommended pressure after driving a distance your tyre pressures are below those recommended. That all said these are only recommended and the difference you measured is easily within accuracy error in the devices used.

It does a great job at mimicking real gear shifts when in S mode

What are your requirements from the car?

50% spl reduction but just ~18% perceived sound reduction. Test results are one thing but personal experience, another.

Did the car start on your return?

Holy thread revival! The OP hasn't visited the forum for nearly 3yrs ...

CANbus theft simply gets the thief into the car where they can then register a new key via the OBD socket. This is then recognised by the Lexus immobiliser as genuine and will release the car security. The factory fitted Lexus security is relatively easily circumvented

It's all in your Nav handbook

At the height of the British empire english was the most widely spoken language and the official language of its colonies. There was little impetus to learn another language. Even now the official language of aviation is English. Only in the EU and the Eurovision song contest is there an attempt to repeat everything in french. 😁

What happens when you try entering that VRN in MiD or MoT checker websites?

If one misses the reading window it simply gets included in the next . One doesn't miss out on any payments, it just gets delayed to the next quarter

Brake squeak/groan is common with hybrids and regen braking. As the mechanical brakes (pads and discs) are only applied at <5mph or in emergency situations the pads do tend to groan on application. Nothing much to be done but learn how to feather brake pressure to release pressure just before the car stops. I just live with it..

What format type did you use?
