Coming Home Headlight Function For Is 220D

[wug]

Hello,

Since i am new here and fresh owner of is 220d i need to find out if Lexus offer this kind of feature. Mine is a Luxury line model and so far i didn't manage to find either it has or not this feature. Before i had a VW Golf V DSG and it does have the Coming Home feature and i really enjoy it.

Please advice if anyone has the feature and let me know how to activate it.

IS doesn't have such a function.

Lexus has the puddle light under the mirrors which provide sufficient lighting for the follow me home feature

Thank you for quick replies.

Yeah, you right it does have the puddle light under the mirror. And also is there any way to adjust the car features from a software e.g VAGCOM at Audi/VW ?

Adi

[Matus]

you can adjust couple of things via the software.

yes

Thanks very much for info and also the fuel consumption is not bad at all. How can i setup the doors to lock when i am driving over 20km/h automatically?

This is only for the automatic transmission I think. There is no such option for 220d.

[wug]

Thanks Denis. Good to know.

Quick question. I don't want to open up a new post for this question. On the driver door are the windows commands. The driver button always blinking when drive. What is the reason ?

Adi

[Matus]

I reckon the Battery was disconected and the windows were not "initialized"

you have to put down the window to the middle and then up to the top.

Ok, this issue solved thanks to Matus. Now, how to adjust the headlights? :) Sorry for being a kid but seems like my lights are not strong enough driving at night.

Thanks guys.

I recommend to do also the headlights washers mod...to keep the car nice and clean.

The problem i don't think is the level but the intensity of light. Can't believe Lexus doesn't offer electric adjustment.

it does have the automatic electronic adjustment, but the basic setting (when standing) you set via those screws.

[wug]

Check this. Auto has no Xenon lights. Found it on IS250 Automatic 2007 model

[Matus]

I thought you have Xenon lights

[wug]

I do have it.

[Matus]

so now I don't understand what do you need :-)

Hi, I am probably missing something here, but the under mirror lights do not come on when leaving the car? At least on mine, pull up, switch off, open the door and lock and no lights - am I doing something wrong?

I would also like the under mirror lights to recognise the key a little further away. At the moment I am practically in the car before they come on - on the other hand I can take the key out and use the unlock from a long, long way off and it works but sort of contradicts the whole point of the perimeter detection - I guess all the systems are linked (mirror lights, ability to unlock boot / doors) so that the doors cant be opened until your right by the car but the light working a little further away would be nice.

Ok, i have Xenon lights but no electric adjustment on button. Headlights are moving up and down only when engine starts automatically. Basically i cannot control the level. How come on non-xenon lights this feature is available?

[Denis Ivanov]

Because the Xenon systems have AFS and auto-leveling but no manual adjustment from the cockpit, only with the screws.

The halogen systems don't have AFS and auto-leveling and you can control the level from the cockpit.

Can you put headlight washers if you don't have them as an option? My lights are halogen and I don't have the washers. Has anyone done that before? Is it easy?

[wug]

Alright, that make sense.
