Default AVS on RX450h F Sport?

Does the 450h F sport have AVS?

I got a sticker of a 450h F sport I am thinking of buying and it does not say AVS anywhere in the sticker unlike a 350 F sport sticker I saw. Can anyone who knows or has bought one chime in?

If the adjustable mode select switch on the center console shows a + next to Sport aka "Sport+" then yes it will have AVS. If its just labled "sport" then its does not.

For the new RX, that's true...I was politely corrected on the NX forum that the US-spec F-sport NX does not have AVS.

2016 RX F-sport models will have AVS:

That was my impression too. I was just surprised that the sticker sheet does not have avs (sport+) mentioned in the sheet.

The 350 mentions it. I can attach it if you want to see. (I believe you though)

These inconsistencies are really annoying.

This from the Lexus RX Hybrid page in the F Sport section:
"Drive Mode Select enables you to make your vehicle more responsive or efficient. Sport mode alters the powertrain for faster and more dynamic throttle response and increased steering feel. Normal mode provides the optimal balance of fuel efficiency and engine performance. ECO mode moderates the throttle response, engine power output and climate settings for increased fuel efficiency. The RX 450h offers the added efficiency of an EV driving mode.* Making the vehicle more efficient with a simple push of a button, EV mode enables you to drive for short distances at low speeds on battery power alone. To amplify your exhilaration, the F SPORT-only Sport S+ mode adds steering and suspension system enhancements to help provide the highest level of responsiveness."

Yeah, it seems that AVS is present in the 450h F sport. I hope somebody who has bought one can confirm. The inconsistencies are just confusing.

Another case in point:
If you try to build a 450h F sport or not, you can't get the "intuitive park assist feature" it seems it is only available in the 350. Yet it is not mentioned as a standard feature of the 450h. Can anyone comment on this?
