  1. Wow! Great you are now out of hospital, hopefully well on the way to full health. After a year of no use I would think your traction battery is also completely discharged?
  2. Black cars show dirt easily, end of really.. To make it easier to clean, get it professionally detailed/paint corrected and then ceramic coated. Not cheap but dirt will wash off much more easily. Apply a secondary wax coat and then wipe the car down each day with a good detailing spray to keep the dust off. (as long as it doesn't rain) Oh and stay away from those hand/auto washes if you want to keep a shine on it. Black cars are hard work
  3. Surely with the transmission in P the parking pawl will be engaged and so the car cannot move. There may be a very small amount of movement as the pawl engages the toothed cog but it would be inches at the most. I think the handbook means if one moves from P to D or R and the parking brake isn't applied the car could move?
  4. See what the ML option adds, maybe follow their example? https://www.marklevinson.com/in-lexus.html#nx
  5. Has your dealer said they carry out windscreen replacements? Other here, me included, have been told dealerships don't do the work themselves.
  6. Regenerative
  7. The 12v battery will definitely go flat long before the traction battery. Hence the recommendation from Lexus to put the car into Ready mode once a week to use the traction battery to recharge the 12v battery. Should the traction battery discharge far enough the petrol engine will fire up to recharge it. The good thing is the traction battery is totally isolated from any drain when the car is off, so it will be months before it goes critical. The bad thing is only Lexus or a hybrid specialist will be able to recharge it enough to get the system going again.
  8. Battery maintenance for when the car isn't driven for prolonged periods. (Covers both traction and 12v batteries) Maintenance of hybrid battery.pdf
  9. Old story but high five for Toyota for the buy back offer
  10. All those development and design costs are shared across the whole range of models. Might not be immediately implemented but the knowledge gained will be used in many, many different products.
  11. I don't believe so, as that is deemed a "driver aid" AVAS is designed to alert vulnerable road users in the 'hazard zone' about an approaching vehicle. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2017/1576/annex/paragraph/1
  12. What error codes are you getting to suggest something wrong 'inside'?
  13. Get well Mike, speedy and full recovery 👍
