4RX Interesting Discoveries Thread (Good or Bad)
#377
Did you check the dipstick after adding 5.8? If you still needed oil then there might be a misprint in the manual? Or is there another higher number when you include the oil filter? I would check with the dealer service dept.

Another discovery. When the temperature drops to 37F, the HUD and the dash light up with a "Drive carefully, roads may be icy" warning. This is similar to the message when starting the car when it's 37F or lower, but I don't recall if that warning shows up on the HUD.
I wonder if this in anyway affects the performance of the car?

When it rains I swear the [auto] headlights come on when the [auto] wipers start, even when it's relatively light outside (during the day). The sensor for the headlights is set 1 notch from center toward "more sensitive." I don't always think to check if headlights are on when it rains but every time I have looked they are on. Is this a hidden feature in the 4Rx or just coincidence based on my sensor settings? Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just coincidence?
(I found a post in the ES forums from 2014 with the same discussion but nowhere else.)

No, I don't play soccer!
I definitely appreciate the headlights coming on when the wipers are activated. That and how they go into resting position when the RX is turned off. No more wiper blades stopped in the middle of the windshield. But it's negated somewhat by the inability to easily lift the wipers off the windshield.

Not easy to forget when it's printed on the back of the inspection sticker.

I was reading my owner's manual & discovered there is a feature to make the wipers stop straight up on the glass (to change the blades). Place the ignition switch to "ON", but don't start it. Push the wiper stalk up to "MIST" & hold it. The wipers will come up completely vertical. I haven't figured out how to do the rear wiper yet...

2017 RX Grabs Bluetooth; 2016 Did Not
A minor gripe with my old 2016 RX was that if you turned on your phone Bluetooth, it would not "grab" it. You either had to restart the car or you could reboot the audio by holding down the power ****. The new car (2017 RX) works like my 2014 Corolla, however and immediately "grabs" the phone after turning on Bluetooth!
