Text Messages and Hillside Assist

[Stompe]

I have just changed my car from a 2013 Premier to a 2018 Premier.  I have been through the manual (I find Lexus and Toyota manuals not very good and even less now you do not seem to get the Nav manual and the comprehensive manual it is all online) and under text messaging I cannot receive text messages on the sat nav screen anymore. Has anyone else noticed this on the 2018 model please?

Also it seems Hillside assist is now deleted off!  I used to press the brake and a light came on the dash and a bleep to let you know when the brake was releasing but now this does not happen on the 2018 model!

Bewildered of Essex!

I've found that if I have the phone tethered to get live traffic updates then text messages don't appear.

My RC automatically prevents the car rolling back on slopes, nothing to do especially.

Yep they changed the hill assist. It is automatic in the 2018 cars, although I sometimes find it doesn’t engage on lesser slopes where I would have manually engaged it in my 2014. Go find a big hill with no one behind and give it a test 😀

Lol, thanks Colin.  Don't know why they did not leave the old system always worked well for me.
