Default 17 IS350 F-Sport "Normal" Mode

I have a co-worker who just picked up his 17 IS350 F-Sport RWD. The eco/normal/sport/+ performance mode button has the words "custom" under the normal setting. Anyone have a clue as to what that means? When you press down on the button a "custom" menu comes on the Nav screen; however, it has no functionality....

It's like the new GS. You can create and set a customized mode. For example, you can have a mode that engages the Sport setting throttle response, Normal mode steering, and Sport S+ mode AVS setting.

Now THAT is a nice upgrade in the new gen! I'd set it at normal throttle and Sport+ suspension as my personal setting. The IS suspension is way too floaty in non-Sport+ mode.

Go to the setup page, there should be an option for customizing a drive mode.

You can set the throttle, steering, suspension I believe. Once you set it up, clicking down on the **** will toggle NORMAL mode and your CUSTOMIZED mode.

That would be a perfect setting IMO.
