Default SatNav operation - please help

Hello friends,

I have a little problem with the sat-nav, i.e. I do not know how to use it!
I have just bought a is-250 2nd generation.
Is it possible someone can tell me in a few steps the simplest guide to using the sat-nav?
I live in London, and usually use a postcode to enter the destination.

Your help is kindly appreciated!


Kind Regards,
Edward.

Did your car not come with a leather-bond owners manual wallet that would include the NAV instruction book?

Edward--

You want us to briefly summarize that fat instruction manual for the navigation system? Ha--I love British humor; it's hilarious!

You can go on the Lexus Owner's website and get all the information you need. You can even order a manual from Lexus on the site. My owners manual was free of charge. https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home

Hello people.

Thank you for your "interesting" feedback. I do have the manual, but I believe someone in Japan had the document translated into English and may not have had the first clue as to what they are talking about. To be honest I haven't even read it! Lol but I will have a look today. If there's any advice on the easiest way to use such machine, please let me know. I really don't have the inclination to read the dodgy manual.

Have a nice weekend

Kind Regards,
Edward.

And by the way does it mention tyre pressures in there?

So--the manual that you haven't read is hard to understand? Personally, I think the nav system is pretty straightforward to use without reading the manual.

And your tire pressures are in the drivers door jamb (at least they are in the US).

Thanks for that!
Yes I have scan-read the manual. lol.
I will have a look at the satnav again, it's a little cumbersome. And the routes it chooses, wow!
Tyre pressures are in the inside of the door?
Errr, did I mention engine coolant? I can't see what the level is under the bonnet? Is there an easy way to check the level without messing it up?

Kind Regards,
Edward.
