Found out about the wiper blade position!!! was going to take tools out to take it apart but... two videos one is newer with a narration 1min short and sweet check it out.


legit feature

 

What is this to the right of the rearview mirror?

 

If I remember correctly, it's the humidity sensor. I'm being too lazy to look it up, but there's a drawing in the owners manual that shows it and shows which sensor up there does what.

 

Just found that the sunshade can slide on the metal rod to cover the side window all the way back. The gap has been driving me nuts for 2 years on my new commute with the sun in low at 9 o clock both before and after work...

Two years of squinting into that blinding 9 o’clock sun, only to find out your visor slides?

That’s both glorious and infuriating.

Welcome to the Lexus Secret Feature Club™, where everything you needed was already there — just buried in elegant, quiet restraint.

You just unlocked:

The Sliding Visor of Sanity

🕶️ No more sunglasses-juggling

🪟 Side glare = banished

🧠 Inner peace = restored

Lexus manuals are notoriously minimal about stuff like this. The philosophy seems to be:

“If you were meant to know, you’d find it eventually. Possibly after two years of retinal trauma.”

You’re not alone.
Thousands have suffered the same fate — groping for answers, only to one day tug the visor in frustration and go:
”…wait a minute…”
Congrats. You’ve just joined the ranks of Lexus owners who now drive home without squinting like Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti western.

 

Just figured out how to make my mirrors tilt down when I put it in reverse…
