![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
First-time Lexus owner here ('09 IS 250), trying to learn about the car.
1. Where is the emergency gas tank door release? Manual appears to say behind plastic cap on left side of trunk, but all I find there is a white plastic tube.
2. How do you visually check the coolant level? Looks like removing the front engine cover won't help.
3. How do you remove the center engine cover (the one over the motor)?
4. How do you put the car in neutral without starting it?
5. What's the switch/sensor in the spare tire compartment, at about 10-11:00 relative to the tire?
6. What's that piece of equipment in the trunk under the right storage bin?
tx,
Ed

2. coolant level is obvious from the drivier side...
3. just yank it

1. I found a plastic white tube there as well...
2. Not sure myself, must be in the manuel.
3. Just pull it straight up from the corner. Your not going to break anything.
4. Dont know...
5. Have no idea.
6. That would be your amplifier (for speakers).

Did you buy this from a private party or a dealer. They Lexus Dealer should have gone over everthing with you. Don't be afraid to ask....you pay good money.
