This is why, My friends, you should always thoroughly test drive the car you pick before laying down wads of cash on the table.

he probably could not test drive a fully loaded F sport. most are sold before they hit the lot. I want to test drive a fully loaded 450H F sports. but no dealer have any within 500 miles.

I thought that the CC could be activate without the DCC--I don't believe that it can. Also, p.326 (OM) states :
"■ Automatic cancelation of cruise control
Cruise control is automatically canceled in any of the following situations.
● Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the set
speed.
● Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF switch.
(Thought that this might help)
Also, my voice recognition is fine as is the traffic info.
What I am having a difficult time with is the PCS. Do I have almost have a crash before it warns me. The tech guy at the dealership says yes but I don't know.

From TexasRxh - "Note: I actually picked mine up on Weds last week but as we were getting started with the delivery we discovered the AC was not working. So we stopped talking, they wheeled it back to the shop and gave me a loaner. They told me that "on rare occasions" the AC does not get fully charged at the factory. They opened a "campaign" on this issue to make sure no one else getting one from Canada has to suffer this oversight. Lucky me!"

I've had my 4RX (Luxury) for a week now and I've definitely noticed the A/C gurgling/hissing sound that others have mentioned. Turn off the A/C and the sound stops. My car also was assembled in Canada (manufactured 3/16) and I wonder if my issue is related to perhaps an incomplete charging of the refrigerant? It's good that they started a "campaign" on this and I'll ask the Service department to check at the 5000 mile service.

Note that this gurgling sound can only be heard if the windows are rolled up and if the radio is off. In other words, the interior is quiet. It is a somewhat irritating sound in an otherwise placid environment.

I test drove the cars and tested the DCC, but not to speeds of below 50 km/h, as I was unfamiliar with the system and its operation. I did not want to risk a collision on test drive.

I didn't check traffic in navi since last gen RX had it in Canada and current USA models have it. I didn't think that Lexus Canada would regress instead of progress. I guess I was wrong!!

Maybe it's our Canadian accents, mine doesn't understand me either!

dentate - you can turn the Automatic Parking Brake off by pressing down on the
parking brake switch for five (5) or more seconds. It will trill and the Auto light
shuts off plus you get a dialog box in the Driver Information Center by the Speedo.
If you change your mind you simply pull up on the PB button till it re-enables APB.

When you have a full (2/3?) radio screen, select the lower left side button to find
stereo tone settings including Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for surround sound.

cec327 - a quick press of the cruise control stalk button turns on Dynamic Cruise
Control. If you first turn it on with a longer push it will enable "Dumb" cruise and
the dash icon will lose the car profile and show the traditional style "speedo + arrow"

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. It's good to know that regular CC can be activated.

Yes, you must almost crash. For example, the car about two car lengths in front of you suddenly decelerates or stops. If you do nothing, your multi-information display flashes red and a buzzer sounds. If you do not respond by hitting the brakes, your car will activate the brakes.

This is a general description of incidents I have experienced on several occasions. One occasion, I thought big deal car what are you doing, I've got plenty of room. Once, my attention was off the road ahead and I thought good going car. Two other times, I was a split second slower than the car's response. So it seemed we responded at the same time.

To test the system would be difficult, as you must be close to having an accident. Your naturally well honed driving skills and instincts cause you to apply the brakes rather than allow the car to do it for you. Accident avoidance response.

cec327

I really appreciate your response. It's what the Tech person told me. I tried to test it several times but I was not really close to an accident because I hit the brakes. The reason that I had doubts about the Tech person's answer since I had to tell him about how to get the rear hatch door to open by placing your hand , elbow on the top of the Lexus emblem in the back. I learned that from people on Club Lexus forum. Again , thanks loads.

Same issue here. A week in the shop and "no known remedy". Mgr said if they don't find a fix they are going to deem it a design 'feature'. Did get him to admit there is a bulletin out re the issue and we would be 'added to the list of complainants.'

toyotaman7

Same as which issue?

mydayjob

Here's a link to a recording of the noise....from the front dash.

DunWkg

I have the same spot, although I think of it as larger than a spot since it's about the size of a sheet of paper.

I'm headed to dealership today for 5,000 mile maintenance and will see what remedy they try to make it disappear.

ericsan13

I have this problem too after 500 miles and I sense a recall coming...
