Default Disabling "Features"

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site but not Lexus. I've had a few and my question is about a 2022 LS I recently bought.
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable some of the so-called features? I'm specifically referring to the rain sensing wipers (I hate that!) and the way the steering wheel automatically "moves" you toward the center of the lane you're in if you're hugging one side.
For clarity, there are a number of two lane roads where I stay far to the right side of my lane - just in case oncoming drivers drift a little.
I'm curious if this is possible before I go to a dealer.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new ride!

Referencing the pic of the wiper lever, position 1 is Off, position 2 is Auto (rain sensing), position 3 is Lo, position 4 is Hi and position 5 is Mist. So, rain sensing is only on when the wiper lever is in position 2.



Regarding the steering wheel movement, your vehicle may be responding to activation of either a lane departure function or a lane centering function. Difficult to know which one you are experiencing without more information. I think, but am not positive, that both functions need to have Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) active. See second pic for how to deactivate LTA. If that doesn't resolve the issue, there are other settings you can change without going to a dealer that may help.

You can also use the button (switch) on the left side of the steering wheel to scroll thru various functions. It takes a little practice but is explained in your owner’s manual.
Lane Tracing Assist is a good safety feature, but if it annoys you just leave it turned off.
