I have a question , hopefully someone knows this. Today I noticed in my trunk a plastic hook type flap with a a fabric loop, I think it says "Max 5kg" - what is it for ? The flap flips down from the inside top of the trunk. How does it work?

That's the grocery bag hook. I use it all the time, that way the grocery don't fall out of the bag. Most of the weight is on the trunk floor, the hook just keeps it from falling over.

For me it was the hold button. Never will my time in drive through lines be the same!

Lexus Lane Change Blinker - Change the Number of Blinks

Procedure:

1. Start with the car completely off and the doors closed

2. Use the rotary **** on the wiper control to set how many blinks you want. This **** has four positions:

• 1st (bottom) position = 3 blinks (Default)

• 2nd position = 5 blinks

• 3rd position = 7 blinks

• 4th (top) position = no automatic blinks

3. Hold the wiper lever in the all-the-way-up position, and keep holding it there.

4. With foot OFF the brake pedal, press the Start button twice so the gauges light up (keep holding that wiper lever up!).

5. Continue to hold the wiper lever all the way up for 5 seconds or more (if you go too fast you will have to start all over!).

6. Let the wiper lever come down slightly one position and hold it there for 5+ seconds (don't let it go back to the neutral position - just let it come down one position).

7. Hold with wiper lever all-the-way-up again for another 5+ seconds.

8. Let the wiper lever come down slightly one position again, and hold it for 5+ seconds.

9. Let go of the wiper lever so it returns to the neutral position. Note: The right turn signal should flash once. (If it doesn't, turn the car off and start again at step #1)

10. Briefly move the turn signal lever down 1 position and let go of it again. Note: The left turn signal should flash to confirm your setting, but not in the way you might expect. It will blink 1, 2, 3, or 4 times to match where you set the rotary **** on the wiper control, so:

• 1 flash = set for 3 blinks (Default)

2 flashes = set for 5 blinks

• 3 flashes = set for 7 blinks

• 4 flashes = no auto blinks

Push the Start button to turn Off the ignition to Save the change...
Man.... Only took me about 2 years to find this post.

BCLexus, you are the man, if that was not already established. I always wished that the blinkers would last longer than 3 blinks and was considering going to the dealership to get it adjusted. I am so glad I came across this post today and just changed it myself to 5 blinks. Thank youiyou so much for the instructions. Wonder if its the same process on a 2018 NX300?!

Just got a 2020 GS 350 F Sport. Did not realize it came with the brake hold feature and all-speed cruise control. Love these features!

I think this was briefly touched upon earlier in the thread, but I was surprised when I found out I could pause (and even rewind) live radio. The car will apparently cache up to 15 mins of whatever you're listening to. Pretty nifty. You can press the pause/play button on the radio, but it's easier for me to hold the 'mode' button on the steering wheel. This has been super helpful, because almost universally, I can stop whatever is playing from whatever source and demand quiet in the car by holding the mode button.


I'm also sad to say I have not been able to detect a noticeable difference in suspension feel between normal and S+. Perhaps I'm just not sensitive enough. Can anyone help guide me on what to "feel" for? I know it's supposed to firm up a bit but I took some mountain twisties at a fairly good clip while changing from normal to S+ (or S to S+) and couldn't really feel it. The difference in shifting is definitely there between normal and sport mode though. I have a 2016 AWD F-Sport.

Found out the lux headrests fold up a bit like airplane cushions

You cannot adjust the suspension on the fly. Try setting it to sport + while stationary ,drive it and see what you think.
