One thing I'm sorta weirded out by is that the doors on my car seem to be somewhat... creaky. As in when I open them slowly, they creak a lot, as if there isn't enough oil in the hinges. Does anyone else's do that?

 

might need to lube them up then

 

Havent tried this yet... but how do you pull it out? I could definitely use more room in the middle armrest compartment.

thanks,

 

First try, then post...

 

I have the same problem. When I do my 5K service, I am going to ask the dealer to lube it up for me. It gets annoying a bit.

I also found that when I get out the car, the suspension make noise too (not all the time). I have sports package. Anyone else with the same problem?

 

Did you know.... that Lexus paid special attention to this. In fact, on the GX 470, most open/close devices take almost the same time to open (cup holder compartment, glovebox, ashtray, lighter cover, center storage compartment, sunglass holder...).

They probably did this on the IS too. Try it! Open two or more things (cuphoder, ashtray, glovebox, sunglass....) at the same time and you should find that they take about the same time to complete their full motion.

Let me know if this works on the IS also.

 

it's not hard at all. I think there's a clasp but can't remember. just pull it straight up. If it doesn't come out rather easily then you're doing it wrong.

 

discovered something about the fob. did u know when ur near the car. a little red light on the fob which i didnt know existed flashes?

 

"MODE" button on steering wheel

don't want anyone to miss this cool feature...... Thanks Redpaste.

From <Redpaste>:
"Did you know that when you hold down the "Mode" button on the steering wheel, you can turn the audio system off and on?? I just found this out today. I love finding new things out on the car!!! Yes, I do know about holding down the next track buttons to change cd's"

 

I just found out that you can't pop the trunk unless the car is at a complete stop. I tried popping the trunk as I was coming to stop, and I thought my trunk release button was broken. Then as the car came to a complete stop, it started working again.

 

I suppose that was for the anxious passenger who pushes buttons while you're on the hwy!

 

I can not wait till give this a test lol
I just also want to point out something about the windshield wipers. When you flick the wiper controls up, the blades wipe three times, pause for a couple seconds, then the wipers give the windshield one more wipe just to make sure the extra fluid is wiped off the windshield.

 

Oh I'm starting to love this car more and more....

It's cool finding all these neat things out!

 

So I know holding down the unlock on the fob for a few seconds will roll all the windows down and open the moonroof. Is there a way to close them all with the key fob? I tried holding down the lock button for a few seconds but nothing.

 

If you take off the cover and put the mechanical key in the door lock, it works. Hold the key in the lock position, and the windows and sunroof close.
