Tailgate adjustment?
#16
I was just searching this for my 2013 RX350 and found this thread. I'm surprised to see Cadillac thought of something Lexus did not.
The SRX Crossover power liftgate with memory height allows you to open the rear liftgate to any pre-programmed height, and close it, at the touch of a button.

More a case of Lexus being slow to implement features. Think about how long they included cassette players in their vehicles, how long it took to provide a auxiliary input for the stereo to connect an MP3 player, etc.

I wonder how many people really find this feature useful or use it at all if it were available? If it's one in a million I think it's hardly worth the development effort and cost to build it into the vehicle.
I'd rather get the better gas mileage, better leather quality than such odd feature.

If I open the tail gate from the button on the tail gate, it open's manually unlike powered control from remote. Does anyone knows how to adjust the settings on tail gate button so that it powered open.

On a different but related note, my boss has an old but beautiful LS400. The first day he had it, he backed it into his bay, under a concrete overhang. It just fitted until he got out and the thing rose up a few millimetres on the springs and scratched the boot lid.

Powered opening is only available from the key fob or the button inside the vehicle. However the gas struts (on mine, anyway) are strong enough to lift the hatch without any help once you've released the catch.

No, I don't play soccer!
my1strx350, usually it's one push of the button on the tail gate to unlock all doors, then second push to open under power. Otherwise it may need to be programmed by the dealer. Check here for the list of Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS) based on model year to see your options.

RAV4 also has the guidelines on backup camera which I found useful:

RAV4's BSM has RCTA (rear cross traffic alert) which RX does not have.
I wonder could all these features be implemented with the OBC software modification? Just wondering.

Tailgate adjustment?
Just purchased a 2013 RX 350 few days ago. The garage I'm temporarily in right now is a bit too low and when I open the tailgate, it bumps into it right at the end of it opening.
Is there a way to adjust how far the tailgate opens? Haven't found anything so far.

Welcome to the forum, but bad news, the height is not adjustable.
You'll want to consider disabling the power hatch when in the garage to open the hatch manually to control the impact. Button is in the glovebox.
Good luck.

On my 2010 I can just press on the button on the outside hatch itself to release and manually raise it up. I would think the 2013 still had the feature. The button is on the underside of the chrome trim piece/handle. I have not disabled the power part, I can still hit the dash button or remote button to open it.
