Default Very Important Lexus Question!

Ok maybe not so important, but still important enough.

My last lexus was a 96 GS300... It had a warning beep if you left the sunroof open, is the SC400 suppose to emit this same tone?

Also,

Are the Parking lights suppose to flash with the keyless entry or is it only suppose to make the tone?

Lights dont flash, just a tone.

I have a 95 and it makes no noises or anything if I leave the sunroof open or tilted. When did they start putting the warning tone in the SCs?

Do you think it might has something to do with where the car was manufactured ie. what plant?

My cars production date is : 05/95 and it is a 1996 Model..

BTW: Anybody every wonder why Lexus makes there cars so early in the year and sells them as later models?

My friend has a 1995 SC400 and his was made on 02/94 which should technically make it a 94 model, but its definetly not a 94.


Back to the main quesition though... WHATs your opinions on the sunroof beeping noise???

My '93 beeps when the sunroof is *tilted* open and a door is opened - it does not beep with the roof slid back - I think the Toyota engineers probably figured you'd notice if the roof was open, but maybe not if it's tilted - -

What I miss on my '93 is no beep or flash when I lock up using the remote - I can't hear it locking 90% of the time - anybody got any ideas on how to update that?

My 93 will beep after I remove the key anytime the sunroof is not fully closed.
