I have a spare battery for the FOB and my reading glasses. The sunglasses are on the pocket at the overhead.Originally Posted by Neckbeard
After two weeks of ownership and wondering what little things could be put in the little compartment under the "mouse" wrist rest, I discovered the hidden storage pocket on the left side of the dash just below the switches for the HUD, etc. What to put there!

To adjust the height, press the close button on the hatch when it gets to the height you want. Then, press and hold the button until it beeps. To reset the height, you can manually push the door up, and then readjust the height using the same process.
You can also manually pull down the hatch to exactly where you want it, then push and hold the button until it beeps.Originally Posted by Suns75
This is likely already well known, but the adjustable rear hatch height is a great feature. I need it so that the hatch doesn’t hit my garage door.To adjust the height, press the close button on the hatch when it gets to the height you want. Then, press and hold the button until it beeps.

The thing I don't like about the mirrors folding when locking is that they unfold every time you open the door even thoughOriginally Posted by AkiD
Good point but at least in my situation, I don't have that problem but I see your logic in having the mirrors fold in when locking. Maybe that's Lexus' line of thought as well.
you have no intention of driving. They then fold again when you lock the car. Seems like a lot of wasted drain on the battery.

There is so much going on that is not visible that this is just a little more on the lot!

I would worry more about the drain on the battery from a turn signal than the folding mirrorsOriginally Posted by PeeVee

Slim-fit pant pockets. Not enough room, so it causes other items to press down on my keyfob button and drain my battery. Happens to me all the time lol.Originally Posted by mikemu30

Just turn the function off !!! Problem solved and the car looks nicer when parked anyway without the mirrors folded in.

When I first showed my RX to my father, he was not very impressed. But when he saw the mirrors folding when I locked the doors by touching the handle, THAT got him impressed! Go figure!Originally Posted by LordBowral

Sounds like you need to change your pants.

Typically the car is running when the turn signals are on so the battery is being charged at the same time. The mirrors always operate with the car off.Originally Posted by mikemu30

The gas door on my 17 450h has a weird "loop" inside the door. Not sure what it's for and I can't seem to find anywhere where the gas cap would be
held. My '06 RX400h had a half moon crevice that would hold the gas cap so it wouldn't dangle and hit the car while I'm filling up but I can't seem to figure out if there's
a way to hold the cap inside the gas door on my 17?
