Reset After Battery Disconect?

[sp107]

Hi have just got a RX 400h (at a very good price) but it had been standing for 6 months so the Battery had gone flat. I have read somewhere that things need to be reset, what? and how?

Are there any known regular problems? I have just checked on Lexus web site and my car is on a recall but won't tell me what for!!

Iv'e only had it for a day but love this car

If you go to VOSA website and click onto recalls then enter TOYOTA and model RX400h you will see what your car might be subject to recall for. If you have no paperwork relating to any mechanical work done on the car then Lexus should be able to tell you if your car has had the work done.

The following is from VOSA website

hi , you will need to do an ISC reset ( idle speed control ) to set the required load when the engine cuts in , reset the windows and sunroof ( slide it back then hold the switch to forward until it goes forward , up , down , back and finally fully forwards til the closed position ) hope this helps.
