9-2. Customization
■Vehicle customization
●When the “Auto Lock by Speed” and “Auto Lock by Shift from P” are both on, the
door lock operates as follows.
• When shifting the shift lever to any position other than P, all the doors will be
locked.
• If the vehicle is started with all the door s locked, the “Auto Lock by Speed” would
not operate.
• If the vehicle is started with any door unlocked, the “Auto Lock by Speed” will operate.
●When the smart access system with push-b utton start is off, the “Select Doors to
Unlock” cannot be customized.
●When the doors remain closed after un locking the doors and the “Auto Relock
Timer” activates, the signals will be generated in accordance with the “Lock/
Unlock Feedback-Tone” and the “Lock/Unlock Feedback-Lights” settings.
■When customizing using Remote Touch or Lexus Display Audio controller
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to P.
Also, to prevent 12-volt battery discharge, leave the engine running
while customizing the features.
CAUTION
■During customization
As the engine needs to be running during customiza-
tion, ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide
(CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
NOTICE
■During customization
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the engine is run-
ning while customizing features.
