Couple of Neat Tricks
i wonder if anyone else noticed that the overhead light switches are actually proximity switches
that you dont need to touch...just get close to it, and its on....pretty cool.
also, anyone notice that in Sport + as the tach approaches 7100 rpm -
it goes orange ? now, i've never had my baby that excited but i saw it on you tube where a
japanese fellow had his on a track and sure enough, the tach turned orange at speed,
just before you can hear the razz of the rev limiter cut the motor off (i guess ...as i said
i havent raced mine) has anybody else have the rev limier cut in ?
the manual says that in manual mode the rev limiter will cut in even if you dont...but i havent tried.

Went in to the dealer and had the first & second service performed. Somewhere I read that after break-in, I'm @ 2500 Miles, Lexus can raise the redline from 7000 to 7300 RPM. The Service Writer knew nothing about this. But, when I got the car back, and looked at the Tach, the redline had indeed changed
Everything was routine. In the future I will be changing my own oil as I have been doing for the past 60 odd years

good observation lou ! at your urging i went and checked mine and sure enough, the tach
is crimson red, from 7000 to 7300 - and then it is bright red. i wonder if the car did that by itself...
