    A bit like the compulsory speed limiters that will be making an appearance soon, these 'safety systems' should all be on by default but they can all be disabled, even if only for the duration of the journey I'm not a fan of all these functions IMHO they can promote laziness and a lack of concentration in the driver. No matter if the handbook reiterates time and time again these are driver aids and the driver is always responsible for driving safely....

    The most important thing is to remain polite and calm. That very first interaction with whomever will set the tone for future negotiations. Having been on the receiving end of customer complaints myself if the customer comes in all guns blazing or starts off with abusive language and accusations my shutters come done and I'm not inclined to help! That said usually my first question to the customer is "what is the outcome you are looking for?", helps focus the discussions and often reveals the customer isn't clear in their own mind what they expect!

    Possibly because it became mandatory on new cars from 2022 Mandatory It is currently only mandatory on trucks and buses registered since 2015. It will not be mandatory on passenger cars and vans until July 2022 for new approvals, and 2024 for new registrations. https://www.fundacionmapfre.org/en/education-outreach/road-safety/adas-systems/types/lane-departure-warning-and-lane-keeping-assist/ https://www.interregs.com/articles/spotlight/eu-regulation-on-emergency-lane-keeping-systems-published-000229

    I actually got a printout after one service,on my first RC but not since, just a confirmatory tick, all ok ...

    Suspension geometry check is included as part of the major service, on my RC at least. Haven't checked if the same with the RX. If any adjustment required it would be an extra cost item.

    Perhaps you have these set to On in the My Settings function? Each time you enter the car with the key fob the car will restore the settings to those linked with the fob How to enable/disable this is detailed in the Multimedia handbook. Might be worth a look? Touch [⚙️ ] from the main menu. 2 Touch [ ](User profile name or vehicle name) or [ ][Guest] on the submenu. 3 Select the desired item.

    The handbook clearly shows it is possible to turn off the function using the customisation settings 1 Select ⚙️ on the center display. 2 Select [Vehicle customise] or [Driving assist]. 3 Select the item to change the settings of from the list.

    Just fill up with V-Power?

    More likely down to weight saving ..

    Apologies, I missed that bit That said, does the UX have acoustic glass on the front windows? This was a big difference I noticed between my RC and now the RX, the RX has acoustic glass and outside sounds are very much reduced

    Where does some of the "ambient noise" come from, if not the tyres?

    Have you tried setting up your account on the My Lexus portal and verifying your car? https://www.lexus.co.uk When I did this the multimedia info was automatically added Check out the FAQs on the Lexus.eu web page below (scroll down to the lower part of the page) https://www.lexus.eu/owners/about-my-lexus/lexus-link-connected-services/#check-car-compatibility

    Touching the door handle to lock/unlock will only work if the key fob is within range, so there must be a radio signal present? I always use the touch method to lock the car, as I'm stood right next to it I can see and hear it is locked, plus I always have the door mirror auto-fold on so I can see when I look back, the car has been locked. When in a public space I also double touch (touch, wait a couple of seconds and touch again) the handle to deadlock the car. This means even if a window is broken the car doors cannot be opened from the inside.

    This, to me , is the biggest positive for the plug-in models. 👍

    So, called into my local ATS (visited often when I had my AMG..) and spoke with the manager regarding the availability of CC2 in the 235/55/20 size. He tapped away on the keyboard and sighed... Yes, they are offered in that size but currently there is no stock and Michelin give no date for when they will become available. Apparently this could mean anywhere between 4-6 weeks to 6 months! As ATS Euromaster is part of the Michelin group I would imagine they would be best placed to know

    Just inputting the tyre size brings up that offering, along with the Pilot Sport EV
  17. NemesisUK
    You have them fitted? What was the price?
  18. NemesisUK
    Just went on their website and nothing?
  19. NemesisUK
    I've checked both those suppliers and nothing for the RX on 20" wheels No problem getting CC2 in the 18" wheel size...
  20. NemesisUK
    Can you see small round button-like inserts in the front valance area? If yes, are the parking sensors switched on? The button will be identified in the handbook

    If you sign up to lexus.eu https://www.lexus-tech.eu/Default.aspx go to the Repair tab https://www.lexus-tech.eu/Menu/Repair and then you can input the VIN to give you the complete build sheet for your car. It will not tell you what is 'extra' as that would require a baseline but it is genuine Lexus information...

    You need to find out why the battery is being discharged. Being a hybrid the car doesn't require a high capacity battery as all it does is monitor and activate the entry system and power up the computers.

    Just be aware the Faraday pouches do fail, sometimes quite rapidly, due to the constant flexing. So would recommend testing the effectiveness routinely. Otherwise you could simply temporarily disable the function with the double key press on the fob?

    Depends on how the suspension has be designed. The RX on 20" and 55 profile tyres corners just as flat as my RC on 19" and 35 profile tyres. The big difference is the RX tyre soaks up the sharper irregularities, it's less 'crashy' over expansion joints etc.. Both cars have/had AVS. I'm guessing the suspension in the NX will be the same irrespective of wheel choice, so I think cornering might suffer? Does the model variant chosen have AVS?

    I didn't but on our trip to Cornwall the notification appeared, I changed nothing. On our drive home, nothing! I'm investigating one of the apps from the e-store, Cyclops a safety camera alert function updated in real time. Only thing is my Lexus portal reports me as having a subscription to the end of Oct 2023, when the car is 3yrs old but the multimedia system in the car keeps asking me to subscribe..... A disconnect somewhere!
