Tips and Tricks you might not know about your LS
 

As we all know the LS has lots of bells and whistles. In this thread I would for the owners to contribute at least one tip that others may not know about. I'll start off.

When you open your truck, if you are in a rush just press the truck key again and you can manually open the truck. This is great when you are in a rush and don't want to wait for the automatic opener.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the automatic air filter by pressing and holding the air recirculate button (you may have to be parked with just the battery on so you may have to check the manual).

you must have the side mirror button pushed to either L or R in order to have the mirrors drop down when backing up....

can you give more information with photos if possiable.

Not everyone at once please!

Good tip on the side mirror settings....I had just wondered why my mirrors weren't pointing down while backing up.....very timely! I'm still new with this car to know any tips....but will try and absorb other's tips.

No kidding. There are definitely more things that people could share.

Using the window washer with the headlights on also activates the headlight washers. Guaranteed to mistakenly happen the morning after a hand car wash.

that's only if you turn on the headlight washers i believe. otherwise only windshield washer is on?

if you use the window washer WITHOUT headlights on, it will never activate the headlamp washers. if you use the window washer WITH the headlights on, it will activate the headlamp washers the first time.

if you just got a car wash, why would you wash your windshield :uh:

umm, maybe i gotta try it then. if that's the case, why is there a headlight washer button?

if i'm inside the car and i opened my trunk how i will close it while i'm using the smart card???????????????

OK, I will add another. AFS allows you to keep the headlights stationary (AKA: not swiveling with the curves).

And another: When you push the pollen filter button the car will go into recirculate mode when the weather is warm. When it is cold, recirculate is not activated to keep the windows from fogging.

>if you just got a car wash, why would you wash your windshield?

Habit mostly, I always give it a little squirt every morning going down the driveway to wash off yesterday's gunk. And this time of year, it is usually covered with pollen even when sitting in the garage.

>if that's the case, why is there a headlight washer button?

Confuses me too. I never think to play with it before I wash it, and don't want to mess up the clean car more when I "remind myself" the next morning.
