I'm not really sure I understand your question...

Which settings are you asking about? Climate, seat, transmission, cool/heat seat..?

I understand that the car can be programmed to my personal preference when I approach/enter/start the car (ie. volume of the lock/unlocked door beeps, automatically roll down the windows when I open the door, etc.). These settings are not the same as the seat configuration or user settings. Am I all goofed up here?

Thanks.

it's not as snazzy as you might think. there are 15 options to choose from. the important ones relate to the door lock settings - all of these you can adjust yourself using instructions in the manual. the other settings i don't know if you can do on your own.

you have 12 months to get it done. they basically got rid of the complimentary 1k service and put the LPS in there. you should have gotten the pamphlet for the options in your manual, but in case you did not, here is the link: http://lexus2.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/l...ted=1119453697

as for my settings, i did the locks myself, none of the other options interest me:

- ALL doors unlock when i touch ANY handle on the car
- car doors lock after reaching 12mph, Not when shifting out of P
- ALL doors unlock after shifting into P

For Lexlover:
How did you set the locks yourself?
I read that part of the manual several times, and couldn 't figure out what they were saying... must be lost in translation.
All doors lock when shift into P
is the one I'm most interested in.

the instructions are in the door lock section in the manual. the instructions are pretty clear, but it still may take you 2-3 tries to get it right. you will know when you have done it right when the door locks lock and unlock automatically to confirm.

have you tried it yet? what part are you having trouble with? remember that all the steps have to be performed within a certain time frame, and that holding down unlock must be performed for 5 sec. you should literally count out loud, 1-one thousand, 2-one thousand, etc. it works!

Here's what the book says:

To select the unlocking linked with the shift position:

1. Close all doors and select the engine switch in “IG-ON” mode.

Closed doors is obvious, but does the last part mean to press twice w/foot OFF brake?

2. Shift the selector lever to the “P” position.
Isn't the lever already in P? The rest seems easy enough

3. Within 10 seconds of selecting the engine switch in “IG-ON” mode, press and hold the driver’s side power door lock switch in the unlock position for 5 seconds and then release.
The doors will be locked and unlocked to indicate that the function is set.
To cancel the function, do the above operation again.


When I asked at the 800 number, they said I had to take it to the dealer.

You seem to have it down fine.. but i guess no go, eh?

IG-On mode is pressing the Ignition button twice with out pressing the brake. As far as the Park goes that is just to ensure that you are in park and havent stopped the car in your drivway, turn off the engine and left it in D or N.

hziemba, you have the right instructions. the reason they say 'P' is because for other lock procedures, you have to put in 'N'. if the instructions are confusing to you, here's a simpler way of stating it:

1. get in your car and close the door
2. push the start button 2 times WITHOUT your foot on brake pedal
3. press and hold down the UNLOCK button on your door panel, count 1-one thousand, 2-one thousand, 3-one thousand, 4-one thousand, 5-one thousand
4. release the button immediately after 5-one thousand, the doors should lock and unlock once to confirm

voila, you are done. good luck!

How can I deactivate the moon roof from opening when I press the remote key for 2.5 seconds to roll down the windows? That's # 7 in the quick reference listings.
