Default 33 month lease

Today I took delivery of a 2014 AWD RX w/navi/premium/comfort packages/BSI and remote starter.
Except for the navi/mouse, the car looks almost identical to the 2010.
I leased it for what I believe to be a very good deal. The sticker price was $50,700 and I have 32 months of $540. The only monies down were $1499 of inception fees (first month, gap, acquisition, registration, plates, and bank fee). Wife is happy and I am happy...
Now the question: is there a way to program the system so that when the driver door is closed, the car locks itself automatically ( so no need of getting the remote out of the pocketbook and press Lock?). I am referring to once the driver is out of the car.

Here are some of the Lexus Personalized Settings you will want to go through and adjust as needed for your needs. You can have these changes made one time for free.

RX330inFL already answered your question.
I used to have a 2011 RX and that's the one that's identical to the 2010.
In addition go the navi and mouse, there are a lot of NEWer stuffs for the 2013/2014.

Top of my head right now
1. Steering wheel and control buttons.
2. The color of the wood which depends on your interior combination. I perosnally have the dark/ almost black wood.
3. automatic folding side mirrors
4. SIRI (2014)
5. Spindle grill
6. Tail lights
7. 2011and older - premium gas
2013 and newer - regular unleaded.


I'm sure i have missed a couple more.
BUT 2014 is not that identical with 2010.

As far as I know, there isn't a way for the car to lock automatically. You must either lock it by pressing the lock switch inside the car, using your key fob, or by touching the lock sensor (the indentation on the upper part of the door handle).

^ right.
Another scenario where the RX locks itself automatically is WHEN:

after UNLOCKING the car using the key fob, and no doors are opened within 20 seconds ( or 30 seconds)…
it will LOCK itself back.

Remember it is also on the bottom of the handle; if you have a wife with long fingernails; encourage her to use the bottom one to save scratches that will eventually happen on the top(got this from my Excellent salesman)
