Key Remote Activated Features

[mckellyb]

I know the windows/sunroof open if you hold the remote's 'unlock' button down, but aren't they also able to be closed by holding down the 'lock' button? I'm going in to pick up three little screws which have fallen out/been misplaced by the previous owner's service dept., and was considering taking the RX in to have this changed, if it can be, *and* have he doors set to one push = unlock all. Is there a good way to approach this, and who would I take it up with???

I've *never* had a dealer who was worth a damn, so the friendliness there, Beaverton, OR Lexus, catches me by surprise.

Thanks!

I don't believe you can use the lock button to auto close the windows and sunroof. However, you can insert the key into the door lock and turn and hold in the lock position to auto close the windows and sunroof.

As for changing the alarm to one button unlock all, tell your service adviser you want to change one of your CBEST settings.

Here's additional FYI for all RX300 owners.
