Touchless Back Door Sensitivity
Anybody requested dealer to change the sensitivity of the Power Back Door?
Power Back Door / Touchless Sensor* SensitivityThe sensitivity of the touchless sensor on the power back door can be adjusted as follows:
□Low(Standard)
□Medium
□High
What does happen when you go to the other settings?
Less time to wait or less distance from the sensor?

I touch the emblem, so I don't know about distance. It's not a dramatic change.

One of these days I'll have to check what mine is set for....it works about 25% of the time. Otherwise I've gotten used to just using the button above the plate.

The sensor under the Lexus "Arrowhead" is specifically under the top half, do not fully cover the whole
logo with your hand, just the top. If you hold your hand "fingers up" your palm will be over the bottom...
Try holding your hand or elbow across the hatch lid, do not wave around, just hold it there until you hear
the chirp and then move away.
The manual mentions not to coat or cover the emblem with wax or other preparations. We sell a paint
protective and the crew was slathering it pretty liberally over the whole area...made the opening operation much
less consistent. Had to use a solvent to fully clear the dome, window cleaner didn't cut it, and that restored
the magic.

Not that close. I was able to open the back door using the touch-free sensor while standing about a feet away from the vehicle (key fob inside my pocket). I have increased the sensor setting to high so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

Lots of discussion here on this - anyone ever try the button underneath - it works well

Yep, I mostly use this method as I use the button on another vehicle we own as well that's situated in the same location.
