    Doesn't exist.. I watched when our carpet was fitted and the guys put new blades in every 6 cuts or so. Well they had the snap off to renew type. No blade keeps it's edge in use, just depends what you are cutting as to how quickly it blunts.

    The only reference I could find was for the 2016 model year..

    One can gain access to the Lexus tech docs on all the car's functions, for a small fee, by going to https://www.lexus-tech.eu/Default.aspx and creating a free account. Some information requires payment but there's lots of free access stuff as well. The attached doc I downloaded for my 2016 RC300h and it details the control and operation of the AVS system. I can't believe the basic function would be that different model to model ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM CONTROL ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION CONTROL.pdf

    One can adjust the volume of the beeping I have set to the lowest volume, it's barely audible.

    If anything like the RC300h or the RX450h then it's always active and adjusting to the road conditions and your driving style. When in S or S+ then it will firm up the suspension but it is always adjusting itself to control pitch and roll. The Lexus AVS is far more accomplished than the AIRmatic was on my AMG 👍

    Good luck with that, you might strike it lucky with the one knowledgeable salesperson!

    Download the Nav manual from the Lexus website https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/about-my-lexus/manuals

    It's not that clear cut... Is it illegal to engine idle in a driveway? The legality of idling on a private driveway depends on its classification as a road. The rules aren’t entirely clear. Annex 4 of The Highway Code states that references to ‘road’ “generally include footpaths, bridleways and cycle tracks, and many roadways and driveways on private land (including many car parks)”. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/idling/

    IIRC the second set should be recognised automatically when fitted on the car, if the codes have previously been registered with the system. When registering the second set make sure the previous set of wheels are placed well away from the car... Details are in the owner's handbook

    I believe Lexus is prioritising owners in the Greater London area. Those out in the sticks are done on request

    I clean the wiper blades every time I clean the windscreen, which can be anything between 2-3 times a week. I also replace the blades at every service (12 months)

    I had the screen replaced on my RC when a stone cracked it. The car was only just a year old.. As I recall the new screen (genuine Lexus) was completely covered, both sides, with a plastic film. This was only removed immediately prior to fitting.

    Tha actual MoT ruling is light source incompatible with the headlamp unit. The headlamp designed for halogen bulbs cannot be used to house HiD or LED light sources.

    Toll road token?

    I can recommend Lexus Swindon, bit closer than Reading

    Ours is the cyclone V10 but any of the V series would be fine

    I use a Dyson, works very well

    The handbook details how to replace the 12v battery yourself but as above is it worth the risk? Get a professional to do it and if the worst should happen they would have to sort it. My preference would be a Lexus dealer, who would have support from Japan should it be needed.

    How about putting the transmission in Neutral and pushing it?
  20. NemesisUK
    Quite possibly. Can you get the car into the Ready state and is the traction battery charged? If yes then start the car normally and press the EV button within 5sec to force it to use the traction battery without starting the engine. Obviously it will only move a couple of 100m at most, depending on charge level. You must be careful not to depress the accelerator too far or the engine will fire up, or try to in your case. This is based on how my 2016 RC and 2020 RX operate
  21. NemesisUK
    Yes, as detailed in your handbook Turning an electronic key to battery-saving mode When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping the electronic key from receiving radio waves. Press twice while pressing and holding . Confirm that the electronic key indicator flashes 4 times. While the battery-saving mode is set, the smart entry & start system cannot be used. To cancel the function, press any of the electronic key buttons. Electronic keys that will not be used for long periods of time can be set to the battery-saving mode in advance.

    One still needs to push the lighting stalk forward but one can simply leave it there, effectively leaving the lights on full beam. From the handbook
  23. NemesisUK
    As above simple swap with the included starter but if you want to get the full benefit and save energy you will have to bypass the ballast as well.
  24. NemesisUK
    Do you have just auto high beam or the full adaptive high beam system? Sometimes it can be difficult to detect the changes with the adaptive set-up... This Lexus.eu tech doc is an interesting read, it's for the RX450h 2020 model. LIGHTING SYSTEM CONTROL ADAPTIVE HIGH-BEAM SYSTEM (AHS).pdf

    As the auto fold works ok and the drivers side mirror retracts ok then I'd guess a controller malfunction if it's just that one function that doesn't work on that side. The mirror isn't getting the command to retract on locking , replacing the mirror isn't likely to fix that.
