Hi, only had mine for nearly a month now and light comes on around 25-26 for me but seems to drop quicker than miles covered so id be interested how much is actaully left in reserve. Read somewhere that the reserve is somewhat conservative.
Haha, i only commented how the rear lighrs just seemed bright at night. As for the actual driving i do it as the manual says. In drive with foot on brake unless extended period then its hbrake neutral. Guess its just me who thinks their bright then lol
When i had my old 400 i never noticed this but in the ct when you come up to red lights at night and hold the car on the footbrake the rear leds ( never had led lights before ) really light up everything!!!! Signs behind car ,peoples faces in car behind just everything. Its like have the fog light on ( no i havent) no choice in a auto but to use brake but they just seem bright, hope its not annoying people behind. Lol
So been looking into getting the paid membership in place and nipped into halfords just to have a gander at the cleaning products and see how much id use the discount card. When i came back out to the car i didnt really notice the 3people talking infront of the next car over. Sat in belted up, selected "d" and gently pulled out... well one of the women chatting jumped so much it made me look twice. Made me smile.
Just placed a thin black foam strip across where the clip sits. Test drive tommorow but it already works.
Thar, theres so little room between the bpillar and seat squat im guessing all ct's will rattle without a passenger.
i have a little of this foam left and quite willing to pop a bit in post foc if it helps someone out. Its black so doesent stand out and easily removed .
Small things to improve.
I put my remote in the centre cup holders along with odd coins . The plastic bottom isnt very lexus and the storage bin has foam, so i cut some plush foam to size and placed in bottoms, much better.
noticed a little rattle on every drive thats been annoying. The culprit is the passenger seatbelt clip rubbing the hard plastic b pillar while driving. Other cts must do this?. Surprised lexus havent solutioned this. Im goin to place a thin strip of foam across the parts that rub. Simple but improved.
just noticed the driver and passenger door grab handles are different too. Still finding things lol.
Same findings, i moved the camera to other side of mirror away from lines in glass but not much difference.next option is to try camera in corner of windscreen or at bottom. Not ideal, but free to try.
Well that was bit of a day!, glad you got it all sorted and the repair from lexus wasnt expensive. Good to know lexus assistance do what they say they will.
200h ,,,,ive set windows to beep and just locks silent. Ill just be careful with it.
stormchaser,,,, not on mine ,i had it on previous cars and did use it. I think lexus changed the spec over the years.
:-)
Does anyone near plymouth want to use my carista customisations obd2? Have a weeks pass . Easy to use but at your own choice/ risk.
Just changed some options on my new ct this morning. Check carista webpage against your vehicle to see whats available.
Thanks to steve2006 for the idea :-)
Haha, yes anyones welcome, it took 5mins start to finish. By not using the carista obd2 it was done for under £20.
if theres a group of people close to each other it could be a very cheap thing to do.
Taken me two weeks of setting up on the media screen options and dash computer to tweek things to my liking but also wanted to change some dealer only options. While my dealer would probably have helped you also get a lot of " no that cant be done " or " we will do it on the next service, or theyll charge. Plus i like to try things and change at my convienience if i dont like it.
Downloaded the carista app, purchased a £12 obd2 reader off ebay ( instead of the £40 carista item) paid the in app charge of £8 for a weeks access. Connected as instructed and had a look through the customisation menus.
changed a few things including one beep reverse and windows up/down on remote (had this on other dars and it suits me) and set to beep so you know youve activated windows and not just locks which ive kept silent.
Found it quick and easy and simple to use . Have a week to try things out and if i decide to change things again £8 wont break the bank.
digitechbuys-uk was the seller i bought the reader from and delivery was fast.
you can veiw the carista site for a guide list of options to change for your car / year
Different car but my ct allows me to change indicator flashes on the media screen under " setup " car customisation menu.
changed mine from 3 to 5 but goes as high as 11!
Hi, the seats are low in a ct. is your drivers seat adjustable? With mine right up my heads on the headliner!! I have it low though.
As for folding mirrors i keep forgetting to push the button which is anniying.
the electric mirror loom could be standard across models. Needs someone to see if theres a unused connector behind the panel where the switch would go. Maybe that easy but prob not lol
How do people find the dab reception in their ct's ?
i find it hit n miss. Some days great reception somedays all stations garbled if recieving at all.
