Thanks for the welcome. Got to make some photos this weekend after all the rain this week.

I find the sensors super annoying. Once you get used to the dimensions of the vehicle, the beeping is just that.

Default I'm back...

So, I purchased my second lexus in my life. I had an 08 lexus is250 years ago. I sold my highlander and purchased a Venza....didn't like it and now I have an 10 rx450h.

It is red exterior, beige interior. Navigation with rear entertainment. 19' wheels.

I have power folding mirrors...but cannot figure out what the auto button on the opposite side of the folding mirrors does.

Glad to be back!

with the Auto button on, the mirrors fold when you lock the doors and unfold when unlocked.

Hello everyone!
2013 RX 350 Certified dealer car (With questions)
Claret Red/saddle
Navigation
Park sensors
Blind spot monitors
19" wheels
Heat/cool seats
Sun roof

We have questions!
1. Brochure said it should have rain sensors in the convenience package. Doesn't seem to have them.
2. Should the back up camera have colored grid lines like our Honda had?
3. Is there a voice command to cancel a navigation route which is underway? Mouse will do it but that is unsafe!
4. Is there a way to re-lock the car after you close the tailgate without digging for the fob or going back to the front door and touching the sensor again?.

I have a 2010 RX 450 h, fwd, navigation, etc and NO roof racks. Hard car to get when purchased. Had to go to Roswell, GA to find it. Love the car. 95% highway driving in Illinois and consistently get 28-30 mpg (on highway). Over 214,000 miles and no problems so far. I have high hopes, or delusions, of doubling this mileage. I appreciate the info all of you offer. Thanks.

Hi everyone! We have three Lexus vehicles so far:
1999 Lexus RX 300 - about 125,000 miles on it
2013 Lexus RX 350 - about 40,000 miles on it
2015 Lexus GX 460 - about 15,000 miles on it

I'm always looking for tips and tricks.

Default Rims for 2013 Lexus RX

I LOVE my '13 RX 350. It has a black exterior AND black leather interior. However, I think the rims that came on this crossover are rather lame. Does anyone know if I can purchase another Lexus model rims to put on mine that will fit? There is a '13 Lexus RX 350 F Sport with great rims but they are 19". I don't want to purchase new tires...just get the sharp rims. Any suggestions?

Thanks...I'm new to posting so please offer advice if I'm doing this all wrong!

^^Welcome to CL and congrats on your RX.... Besides other Lexus wheels, there are a lot of aftermarket wheel choices that are available. Just do a search online to find something you like.

As far as posting, you're doing fine...

Welcome to CL. Depending on the condition of your tires, you may be able to sell or trade them. Or, wait till they wear out. There are more choices with 18 or 20 inch tire selections too. Another thing to consider is your current tires. If they are Dunlops, don't feel bad about trading them early. They are junk. There are tons about tires in related tire threads. Good luck.

I noticed that someone has already explained the auto fold button for the side mirrors. The rear hatch is also simple. Feel carefully and on the right of the release you will find a raised bump. This is the lock button. After you close the hatch simply press the button and the car will lock. Watching the mirrors fold is a simple indication that it is locked and makes it easier to look back in a parking lot to be sure you locked your car. Get your hands on the 4 inch thick manual and you will find all kinds of things that are not well known about the car. My wife has a '13 450H and we are still finding things. I just bought a '14 350 with 8,800 miles on it and it has already taught me things. Discovery can be fun!
