Ugh. I stopped going to my dealer for questions for similar reasons. I keep getting bad info!

The lane change flasher can be adjusted from no flashes, 3, 5, or 7 flashes
Adjustment procedure is:

1. Ignition OFF, hold the wiper switch in the all the way up (OFF) position, turn ignition ON, engine not running, and continue to hold the wiper switch in the OFF position for 5 seconds or more
2. Move wiper switch down 1 position and HOLD for 5 seconds or more
3. Move the wiper switch up to OFF position and hold for 5 seconds or more
4. Move wiper switch down 1 position and hold for 5 seconds or more
5. Release the wiper switch. The right turn signal should flash 1 time
6. Place the intermittent wiper rotary switch in one of the following 4 positions
-P1 - all the way down = 3 flashes
-P2 - 1 up from the bottom = 5 flashes
-P3 - 2 up from the bottom = 7 flashes
-P4 - All the way up = no flashes
7. Pull the turn signal switch down the lane change position (not the turn signal position) and release. The left turn signal should flash 2-4 times.
8. Turn the ignition OFF and then start the car and test.

This should also apply GS I think. Enjoy and hope this helps.
are the steps for all the secret features outlined somewhere?

Not that I've found.

That's the idea with this thread.

I will contact my local dealers and see what help they may be, then post in there.

Thanks for the post of this, worked great for my ‘17 IS300. Once I figured out that it had two setting up and only go down to the one set and not all the way down. Third time was the charm.
