You need a gauge for filling tires if one is not on the fill nozzle.

Default Cup holder blues!

As this is my second rx I miss the cup holder that I had in my 2011 rx 350 in the left upper corner by the Steering wheel it kept my water cold in the summer with th a/c and my coffee hot in the winter , my 2016 rx450h doesn’t have one and the side door pockets are smaller as well as the rear cup holder and storage also the rear cup holder is less sturdy

What a waste of a perfectly good phone holder...
Or get an adapter for wireless

I have done both, run a cable and used the wireless adapter on my 2022 F-Sport.

Using either, I have generally put the phone in the neat little phone holder.

Using the cable, the phone charges, but with the adapter it does not. On longer trips, I just throw the phone into the phone charging cubby or conveniently keep it on the cable and leave it in the phone slot.

Windshield wiper linked headlight illumination
When driving during daytime with the headlight switch turned to AUTO, if the windshield wipers are used, the headlights will turn on automatically after several seconds to help enhance the visibility of your vehicle.

Many states in the US require headlights to be on when driving in the rain. Good idea.

I seem to recall someone from a previous post suggested that was because the transmission cooler was behind that opening. Perhaps only on vehicles with the tow package?

Ever wonder what happens if you run the RX so low on fuel that the Range figure in the MID goes to zero? I did this a few days ago, unintentionally. I was thinking the Range would just stay on zero, but that's not what happened. The MID goes blank except the word "REFUEL". I only drove it a couple of miles in this condition. Even then, the vehicle only took 15.5 gallons of fuel into the 19.2 gallon tank. Lexus sure does want to protect the fuel pump.

please research sunroof drain holes and clean every time you wash your car to safe a ton of headaches due to clogging and water in the cabin. Thank you.

I just ordered the tool from Amazon to clean the drain holes. This is the one Carcare nut recommended.
