  1. Similar to the route trace function in the Lexus sat nav?
  2. An online record of 'enthusiastic' driving? Could be as embarrassing as posting videos on YouTube...
  3. Wouldn't that be at variance with the UK/EU regulations on DRL operation?
  4. How about LDA? (lane departure Alert) Have you scrolled through the cluster multi-display to check if there is any warning/error messages showing?
  5. Do you have Blind Spot Monitoring option?
  6. Parking sensors disable above approx 10mph... I didn't know you could buy a Lexus without Sat Nav! Speed camera alerts are a quick double beep anyway.
  7. One can (at least in my RC300h) force the car into full EV mode by pressing the EV mode button before the ICE starts up. I invariably do this on my early morning departures from home. The car will run for approx 250m before the mode auto-cancels. In the summer and warmer mornings it'll go a far bit further. I leave everything switched on, seat heaters, defoggers, a/c etc. makes no odds.
  8. My first thought whilst reading your post was, propshaft, possibly a coupling worn or even prop balance weight thrown? Not sure of the configuration on your car maybe a prop centre bearing failing?
  9. Not sure if Ford still hold the patent on the heated screen tech. I had it on my SEAT Alhambra (Ford Galaxy) and it was fantastic. Mercedes have it on their Protection option but at a massive premium. IMHO this tech should be freely available, fantastic at virtually instant screen clearance, obviously a significant safety function.
  10. My RC seat heaters are definitely warmer than those I had in my Mercs but no where near as warm as the aftermarket heaters I had installed to the rear seats in the C class. Those really heated up quickly. My friend's Volvo seat heaters are like being breathed upon by an asthmatic mouse, terrible! No, the Lexus heaters are fine and I like the timed reduction in level. Do the seats in the RX/LC have true 'climate' control, both heating and cooling according to cabin temperature?
  11. Try claying the screen? You could try Bar Keeper's , recommended on Detailing World forum.. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=199453
  12. Yes, strange that it's an undocumented function. Not mentioned in any customisation settings either. Do cars sold in France also have this feature?
  13. ^^^^^ seconded Please?
  14. If you don't have a handbook, download one from the Lexus portal https://www.lexus.co.uk/my-lexus/#/ml-app/dashboard That said, there is a switch with a large P and radiating lines on it somewhere on the lower dash panel (at least on my RC) AFAIK all sensors should beep when close to an object.
  15. I think this is quite logical.. If it's cold enough needing the seat heaters and you haven't switched them off (still requiring warmth) then by the time (on average) you switch the car back on the cabin will have cooled significantly, so the heaters come on high to ramp down either manually or timed (depending on configuration)
  16. Yes, the paintwork does have a self-healing top coat. It requires sunlight and heat to slowly recover. My dealer service chap commented it also requires special attention when using a DA polisher, no idea what this means. A quick look at the Detailing World forum would suggest it's a topic much discussed ...
  17. Our central heating controller auto-adjusts for summer/winter and that has no connection with any outside influences. Simply a pre-coded chip, must be a good 10yrs old now. I wonder how much longer it's been coded for? The RC's dash mounted clock is a wonderfully simple thing. Two buttons, one for advancing, one for retarding the hands. The Nav system time is automatically adjusted, no idea what system it uses...
  18. What was the issue with the bulbs?
  19. Might it have been pecked by magpies?
  20. Seconded.. Not every wash in my case but defo something that should, IMHO, be done occasionally. If no other reason it would highlight in good time any issues?
