when you 1st use the beta version, carista will take a snap shot of the cars system so if there is an issue with any of the new features they can restore your original settings the beta version may or may not have new features for our lexus cars it could be for 1 of the german brands so thereforre of no benefit to you so before you decide wether to be a beta tester see what new features there are for your car.

no it cant be cleaned in situ here are 3 photo's from when i cleaned mine the filter is near the drivers side hinge in 1 of the photo's

i've had this on a mercedes many years ago the dealer either hosed or pressure washed the boot door and they found water had been running down the screw theads that hold the number plate on and then dripped into the boot its worth a try on yours just to eliminate it

is the boot lid seal still sitting on the lip and fully pressed down and are there any leaves or dirt build up that could make water pool around the top of the seal

i think you'll find its an AGM battery (absorded glass mat)

here is a video goto 1min 50 seconds its where the app is shown

have you thought about having the piece of trim wrapped

if anyone has a fogging machine this would be good for locating any leaks in the car and would sterilise at the same time

are there any drain holes in the boot lid that maybe blocked

make sure the spare wheel well isn't filing up with water as your hybrid battery is located where a spare wheel would be kept there is a gap under the battery but better to be safe than sorry remove the boot floor carpet then remove the plastic storage tray this is held in place with approx 12 clips once the tray is removed you can see the hybrid battery.

your speedo will under read by 1.3% using the 245/45/18 this tyre size diameter is the closest to your original size diameter this is the calculater i used https://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

below is a list of possible parts you may need but it will give you a good idea of the cost parts & prices are from lexus parts direct

sorry to hear of your accident , i know how you feel as i've only recently got mine back from the bodyshop. DO NOT TRY AND OPEN YOUR BONNET you wont close it again you will probably be going through your insurance as you're possibly looking at circa £5k to repair using new parts, i believe the gas charges for the bonnet are £1500 each,then you need a headlight , a pressure tube maybe needed, airbag module to be replaced or reset, a set of bonnet hinges & radar re-calibration if its fitted to the car it will be more if you need a bonnet, bumper & a radiator pack if i can find some prices i will post them here for you member Shada will give you a better idea as they repaired their own IS300h front end

even though the batteries are 7 / 8 years old if you have a look on the forum there is a guide on how to change them i think the member went to a tyre bay and had the tpms valves removed and had std valves fitted so he could work on the tpms valves at home the member also purchased a new set of seals for when the valves where re fitted

is this what you are looking for ??? i may of misunderstood the part you are talking about https://www.lexus-tech.eu/aimuploads/d1a1d80c-8468-4a9a-bb42-65e1e861ae9f/Lexus_IS_Wind_Screen_LHD_PT933_53100_AIM_003_054_0.pdf

since your GS is 12 / 13 years old if they are original they will probably be getting low on power and we all know when the 12v accessory battery starts to get low on power on our hybrids we can get loads of spurious messages and issues with the car, my thinking is the batteries maybe be getting low on power and not reporting the tyre pressures correctly. if you can get the id off the sensors it may be possible to find out when they where manufactured you'll then know how old the batteries are. the carista paid version can give you the id from the tpms sensor

by any chance are the tpms sensors the original ones from when the car was new

if the tyre pressures have been set to say 36psi but the tpms system is set at 40psi then you may still get the warning light on the dashboard , press and hold the tpms reset button to set the new tyre pressures.

off to a tyre outlet then and see if they could reseal the tyre on the rim for you and repair any punctures you may have

does your car tell you of the pressure in each tyre ??? if not do you have any diagnostics to see what pressure each sensor is reporting there maybe 1 thats under reporting the pressure thus putting your light on

i havent heard of you being able to disable the tpms system but personally i prefer a cure find the issue and resolve it, it cant be much thats making the light come on either an air leak or a battery issue in a sensor

the 17 plate IS Fsport i owned had 255/35/18's on the rear i think the fronts where 225/40/18's the ride was pretty comfortable i have lower back issues and never found the ride to be an issue for me, everyone is individual go and have a good test drive 30 minutes minimum to get a good feel for any car you plan on purchasing its the next biggest purchase to your house so be 100% certain the cars right for you before the salesperson gets paid their commission.

triple black black paint black seats black roof lining and A,B,C pillar cappings

it was on the website early this morning here is a picture of when i 1st bought it the paintwork had a deeper cleaner shine to it and looked so much better when i sold it

dont forget the extra £320 per year on top of the road tax if your car's list price was over £40,000 before any discounts. for 2.5 years i was paying around £240 for 6 months road tax
