Hit 1000 miles today. Brought it into my dealer for an oil change. No problems.

Also asked them to make a couple of personal preference changes:

1. From no windows opening with remote to ALL windows and moonroof opening with remote - gratis
2. From 3 lane change flashes to 5 - gratis
3. Change Trip Average to Tank Average - can't be done, no charge.

By the way, in exurban driving, now getting MPG stats in the high 30s. Nice!

That 3 to five flashes is a great idea. Will have to remember that one.

#1 From no windows to all: What button do you have to now push on the fob? And do you push once or more?
#2 From 3 to 5; does that mean when you lightly push down on the turn signal arm?
Thanks for the info!

Are you saying one of the settings the dealer can do is change the trip average which shows up briefly after cutting off the vehicle in the MID which I find useless to the average after filling up like my 2017 RX 450h does?

Looks like he's saying it can't be done but they didn't charge him for trying

From page 105 of the manual:
Press and hold unlock on the fob to open the windows*2 and the moon roof*1, 2 or panoramic moon roof*1, 2
*1: If equipped
*2: This setting must be customized at your Lexus dealer.

The answer to your second question is yes

On the remote, hold the unlock button down for a few seconds until the windows/moonroof start, and complete, opening. On a Texas day, you can move a lot of hot air out quickly.

Yes, when you lightly push down on the turn signal. It can be programmed (by dealer only) to flash the turn signals anywhere from 2 to 7 flashes. I chose 5.

#2.What does “3 lane change flashes to 5” mean?

When you press the turn signal lever momentarily to change lanes, the signals flash for 5 times instead of three. Of course pusshing the lever into the detent position runs the signals until you move the lever back to neutral position.

Can you explain your logic behind changing the oil and not the $10 filter while you're having it done?
