Does anybody how i can change the temperature units from Fahrenheit to Celsius ?

RX 450H 2010/smokey granite/Navi/Premium/Comfort/...

 

i dont believe you can. THe car is programmed from factory so only overseas and canadian RXs have it in C

 

If you have Nav it is an option and very simple.

 

Can you explain how. I read the manual and couldn't find it.

 

I was remembering making the change on the home Thermostat unit. The A/C is a TRANE with a control unit / thermostat by Honeywell. The Lexus only allowed an Auto setting.

Sorry for my confusion.

 

I believe if you hold the folder button on your steering wheel for a few seconds, it will bring up a menu where you can change the temperature setting. Either that or hold the toggle switch next to the folder button down for a few seconds. One of those definitely brings up a different menu.

 

Have you tried it? There is no way in the steering wheel or in the instrument panel can you change the temperature unit.

 

My bad. I just went to check and that only allows you to change the miles to KMs. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Or, the other way of putting it is, "... only U.S. RXs have it in F"

 

hi to all
so anyone find way how to change f to c ?

 

Just picked our 2010 RX 350 that we bought in the U.S. and imported to Canada.
It comes with Nav. Sure would like to adjust the settings to display Celsius, and kilometers. Any one find an answer to this puzzle?

 

The customizable features are explained starting on p 623 in the 2011 owner's manual. I can't see where you can change the temperature display but at least you can change from MPG to L/100KM (p 629) or you can change the language to French or Spanish. Maybe Lexus of Calgary or Lexus of Edmonton have a way of reprogramming the system, they must be familiar with lots of Albertan's buying in the US and bringing the cars up here.

The owners manual is a very large book but I find that many questions asked on this forum could be answered by reading it after picking up the car. The salesperson is supposed to spend at least an hour explaining all the features to each customer on delivery but obviously some are skipping this part of the sales process!

 

I did read the manual, and saw the MPG to L/100KM setting. I also found that I am able to change miles to KMs, for the NAV settings. I was mostly interested in changing the outside air temp, and display for air cond/heating system. I was hoping to read an easy short cut that other importers may have found. It doesn't appear so.
Are you an owner of an American Model? Have you inquired about the 400.00 dealer reprogramming I have seen mentioned on this forum? Lexus Calgary will be my nearest Dealer. As an importer, I am also curious about the reception I will receive getting warranty/service work.

I own a Canadian market RX but your question is about one of my major pet peeves about the car. I owned a cheap GM product before this purchase and was able to switch seamlessly between KPH/MPH, temperature, etc even while the car was moving. Lexus electronics are way out of date and all we hear on this forum if we criticize the car is what junk GM, Ford et al are. Maybe Lexus product planners should read the forums once in while and try to improve the product.

I don't know how the Alberta Lexus dealers will treat you but several aquaintances here in southern Ontario have had no problems getting their US market cars serviced. Dealers make more profit on providing good service than selling cars these days so hopefully you will have a positive experience at Lexus of Calgary.
