See the following, item #1, #2 and #6 (located here at Club Lexus): Lexus Personalized Setting. You have the ability to change these settings.

See item #44 and #45 regarding trunk logo opening features and this thread: Touch Free Rear Door Issues

I hope this helps.

It;s crazy with these personalized issues! Just found out yesterday, that the reason why my windows don't open with the remote is that I didn't have so set when I went in for my personalized option check at 1600Km.
WTF I assumed that it was all set up for this and it wasn't on the list. So I'll have changed when I next go in for service.

Are you sure that your car actually has the touch free rear door feature? It is a $200 option and not standard on the car.

As far as doors auto locking, I could be mistaken, but I don't believe that any Lexus vehicles have a door auto lock feature.

Be prepared to pay to have it changed. I believe s/w changes are free only at the first service.

the sale person showed me and I tried it and it worked before exiting the dealership next day it was kinda difficult to do it. The paper work say I got it the touchless rear door. And my 2013 GS has the auto lock feature. When you forgot to lock the door, u set a timer and when the timer up and u didn’t lock the door it auto lock it for u.

Autolock features only work if the car is already locked and then you press unlock on your keyfob and do not enter or exit the vehicle for a certain amount of time... 30 sec? It will lock again.

None of the Lexus auto lock otherwise ever.

My dealer is very good, I'd be very surprised if they did charge me, but if they did they'll get an earful!

i've had way better luck using my elbow to get the touchless sensor to operate than holding my hand in front of it.

Hold your hand sideways, over the top portion only, say the top half. My tech guy at the dealer showed me this when i asked last week It has worked perfect every time since He said the bottwhalf doesn't do anything. He laughed when i said i have unlocked it a few times, guess thats the start of the process. I use to like cup my hand a few to 6 inched back, covering allvof the emblem.

Hope this makes sense

No, but you can increase the brightness of the screen at night so that it is the same as it is in the daylight.

Did you try Menu/Display/Day Mode when the headlights are on?

"? If the screen is set to day mode with the
headlight switch turned on, this condition
is memorized even with the engine
<hybrid system> turned off."

The handsfree trunk opening feature is pretty worthless.

It's easier to put the stuff down and press the button than to wait for a year for it to open when waving your hand in front of the emblem.
