Default Traded in my ES FOR an RX.

Hello all.
I'm a new owner of a 2010 Rx. Yea traded in my 2002 Es for it.
Can any one recommend factory service manuals? Where to get them from ? Dealer told me they use a company called HELM?
Mine Is still under warranty but figured get the manuals now while still fairly new.
What other things do I need to get done? Any recalls for this model? Looks like it was regularly serviced by dealer, does that mean they would have addressed ALL recalls and or any service updates recommended by Lexus? How can I tell?
Thank you

Congrats on your RX. You can sign up at Lexus.com to verify the services and updates performed. It'll also list any that are outstanding. Two that come to mind are the iPod scrolling fix and gas pedal modification. And most recently a software upgrade related to the gas pedal modification. Again, this information should be listed on the Lexus owners website.

I'm familiar with Helm. I used to have them for a previous car. But I'm not sure if they have any repair manuals available for the RX. A few people have mentioned a website where they were able to subscribe for a short time to find what they needed. They'll have to chime in. There are a few DIY threads here.

Welcome to the RX club!
I believe Toyota Technical Information System (TIS) subscription allows to download manuals:
https://techinfo.toyota.com/
I've been meaning to sign up there for a couple of days to get the wiring diagrams for the RX.

Congratulations on the new RX!
I don't have confidence on car covers, especially wih snow.
A car tent, if your place can accomodate it is what i will use.
