That is fantastic....

Are you happy with how the car drives, the hesitation from low speeds, due to the transmission up-shifting too soon you give it throttle and can feel like there's nothing there then she'll change down a gear and off it goes. Really depends on driving conditions, driving slow around the suburbs it's not a problem at all for me but when in the big cities, lots of traffic on surface roads she sometimes just doesn't have the right gear, in these instances I put it in Sports and all good, holds the gears longer.

Sport Plus mode not showing up

I just bought the 2016 RX350 F Sport 3 used and noticed I can't switch into Sport Plus mode. I read somewhere here all I have to do is disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and it should come back. Can someone confirm this? Would this cause me to lose anything else? Sorry if I sound completely clueless but I just came from a 2004 Acura, so pretty big jump in tech.

this is the thread from a few years ago from a user with similar issues

Does your F sport have AVS handling package?

You mean the mode selector? Yes it says "ECO-NORMAL-SPORT/SPORT+"

So are you saying that after you move the selector to the right 2 or 3 times, it doesn't go into Sport+. ?

After looking at a cause of the problem a battery disconnect is the only thing that is on the forums as you noted.

After a software update I lost S+. Asked the tech how long was the battery disconnected and he said a minute or 2. I requested a 30 minute disconnect and that solved the problem.
