Usage Features:

Users with a navigation system can customize many settings directly through the vehicle's display. The process involves pressing the "MENU" button, navigating to "Setup," then "Vehicle Customization," and finally selecting the desired category (e.g., "Door Lock Settings," "Climate Settings," "Lights Settings," "Other Vehicle Settings"). This intuitive interface allows for on-the-fly adjustments to suit personal preferences. For settings requiring dealer intervention, the manual serves as a comprehensive guide to available options, enabling owners to communicate their desired customizations effectively during scheduled maintenance.

Maintenance Features:

Programming of these personalized settings is offered free of charge by Lexus Dealers during the 6-month/5,000-mile scheduled maintenance service. This ensures that owners can have their vehicle configured to their liking by trained professionals, especially for the more complex or security-related settings that are dealer-only. The manual itself is a maintenance feature, providing a clear record of all customizable options, which can be referenced by both the owner and the dealer to ensure accurate programming. The "Repair Order Number" and "Vehicle Identification Number" fields at the end of the document suggest it can be used as a checklist or record of services performed. The note "LPS options were correct at time of development. All options are subject to change without prior notice" indicates that the information is current but acknowledges potential future updates or variations.
