Default Canadian VIn Auto Start?

Recently bought a 2017 IS300 with a Canadian VIn but I can’t figure out if it has an auto start option or how to even access such an option if it does. I’ve tried the key fob holding the lock button in the 3rd time for up to 10 seconds with no luck. Any help is appreciated 🙏

Canadians IS's didn't had factory remote start before 2021.

Pretty sure you can do that in the dash settings. I know you can change the fuel consumption in there also.

I’ve YouTubed and tried exactly what it’s told me but the option at the very end just isn’t there like it shows. I think it’s a Canadian thing. But thank u

I am in a similar boat, I bought a low mileage 2017 IS300 from Canada. I was annoyed by the Celsius thing so I made an appointment with my local Lexus dealership. After two hours they stated that the Canadian market IS300 cannot be changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

It’s exactly what I was told. I feel like there has to be a way to access it and have it changed without the dealership being involved.
