Hi, I was in the "secret" menu that you can get to by pressing the "Info" button and turning the lights on and off several times. I'm not in that menu anymore, but I must have accidentally changed a setting while I was there and I need help getting back to my original settings. Now when I am on the Trip Information screen, I see a different screen that doesn't display the hybrid energy consumption information. It shows Average Consumption and Cruising Distance, instead of the hybrid screens that have the diagram showing energy usage and fuel consumption. I don't know what I did or how to undo it. Can anyone help?

And if you press the Energy button on the lower left corner?
Or is it gone?

caseylab

It is gone. I suspect that I am seeing the screen that appears in the non-hybrid versions.

Hmm thats scary.

I cant really remember all option in the menu as I've only been in there once for a long time ago.
Perhaps someone else can chip in.

caseylab

Thank you anyway, petterf. I have retraced my steps to no avail. Nothing in the menus seems like it would have anything to do with that setting. I have a copy of the service manual on CD. Hopefully something in there will help, and if not, I guess I will contact a Lexus dealer for advice.

What year is your RX? How did you get to the 'secret' menu?

caseylab

Mine is a 2006. You hold down the INFO button, and turn the lights from Off to On 4 times.

When in doubt, reboot. (thank you Microsoft).
Did you try pulling the fuse for the NAV system or disconnecting the battery?
Just remember if you disconnect the battery to do the ISC reset when it's up and running again.

Just curious, does your new screen show you distance to empty (how many miles left in the remaining gas in the tank)? Is this what you mean by 'crusing distance"? Interesting if so, because that is not something that is normally available in the hybrid (at least in the 2006).

caseylab

I am going to disconnect the battery in the morning. I will let you know how that turns out. And yes, the screen you described is the one! I have somehow made the computer think the car is not a hybrid. Cool, huh?

Does anyone know if the same 'info button and light' combination works on the 2008 RX?
If not, is there a different way to get to the secret menu in 2008 RX?

Casey - good luck and keep us posted.

TIA

I'd love to be able to get the cruising distance display. The lack of it is probably the most frustrating thing on the 400h.

I tested out the info+head lights on the 2008. And, it works!!

Casey, are you back to hybrid display mode?

what ended up happening?

I know this is an old thread, but I thought it may come up again. I was playing around and doing the "hold down the INFO button" trick and somehow messed it up. My trip info was gone and my climate control wasn't working. Apparently, i had told the computer that I had a different car and it set itself up for that car.

If you do the on/off light thing 3 times you enter another screen that allows you to change which vehicle your computer is set for. For a 400h you want to pick 900N4WD. Hit WRITE and you should be good to go.
