Default Valet / Loaner Mode

Is it possible to keep the car in snow mode? I was thinking of a modification that would use the inside valet lock for the trunk to trigger and keep the car in snow mode until the valet lock was released. If you loaned your car to someone with only the valet key they would only be able to drive in snow mode. Anyone know the location of snow mode relay or the wiring to it?

that's very interesting question.

i dont think it's possible though but i'm not quite sure .. i think the best thing would be ask lexus dealership and i'm sure they wouldn't know anything about it

power/normal mode has too much power which new driver might not be able to control so switchin it to snow/econimic mode is a good idea

See if you can have the dealer program the Valet key (pretty certain it has a chip in it) to only go like 5mph or a super low speed. Only thing I can think of.
