It's just purely so you don't scuff shoes not polish them. Lol "Polish your shoes" these salesmen will make up any crap to sell a car.

Yes I see where you'd find the humor in that sales-pitch, but the cool thing is... it's ACTUALLY finished through most of the bottom! It doesn't matter if the guy is throwing out a ridiculous line when the feature is actually there. I love the mirrors that fold in automatically when locking the car... you could come up with some funny explanations for it... or better still the cup-holder that goes deep enough to hide/hold a big beer or bottle of wine? LOL... oh... what are they trying to encourage here?

It was just funny hearing that joke earlier, about the salesman... (yes, that's what I was referring to a couple posts up)... and going out to see that it REALLY IS finished almost all the way underneath!

I had to check as well. The carpet under there is so soft... But to be fair, my $20k Mitsubishi Outlander has front seats bottom finished too.

I actually find the headlamp washers really useful in our winters in Canada.

Its only useful to those that drive in the snow belt (to remove salt splash) & areas with splashing mud.

I also have the headlamp washers, but have never used them. Let’s see, you wash the windshield four times, hold your mouth in a slight smile, and pat your head smartly three times. Then, I guess, they come on. Couldn’t they just have put a push and release button over on the left where all the blank buttons are?

If you've ever cleaned your window while your lights are on then they got washed you probably didn't see bec. You were in the driver seat.

I am sure that you are right. I will have to get my wife to to wash the headlamps so that I can watch. The little doors are cool. Took me awhile to figure out what the little oval things were.

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but I recently noticed that when I was listening live radio and decided to make a phone call, RX did not just mute the radio, it actually recorded the live radio and resumed it after call ended.

Just try it. Works on my 2016 RX450h with ML.

Press pause while listening to the radio. Then play to see if it will resume. Report back?
