[@abrams3171]

Best. Tutorial. Ever! I purchased a 2020 Lexus GS 350 F Sport Black Line and this is a fantastic orientation to the vehicles technology capabilities. Thank you!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much, @Abrams! I really appreciate your kind comment! Congratulations on your GS F-Sport Black Line! Such an awesome vehicle!

[@ghostridertom]

Love it. I drive the GS F since 2017 but I did find new features ;-) My friend is waiting for LC500 cabrio delivery and we love you have the video for it. We are going to watch it like a movie and look forward to experience amazing ;-) Thanks for making those professional tutorials.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! What fun for your friend and a new LC! Very exciting! Thanks again for tuning in!

[@zacharyhicks2136]

Double secret head rest tip, they ratchet forward and back to better suit your head position. Pull forward to reset. AMAZING SEATS in this car. AMAZING.

[@NorthsideLexus]

The best! I wish all of the headrests had that feature!

GREAT JOB MELISSA!

Thanks so much, Guto! :)

Does that screen play videos

[@NorthsideLexus]

On the 2020 GS with a compatible audio system, you can play some DVDs on the main NAV screen. The GS must be in Park with the Emergency Brake on. Thanks for checking in.

[@kcaly413]

You taught me somethings, thank you. Q: Can you change the Lexus startup animation video ??

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately the startup video is not editable. It is preloaded from the factory. Hope this helps. All the best.

[@JCC__BMX]

Thank you very much. From Spain. I have a question: Is possible adjust the number of blinks of turn lights with soft touch? Excuseme for my english. Thanks!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks so much for being here! Yes, that feature is customizable, but it usually needs to be done at your Lexus dealership. There are specific steps that a Technician uses to make that customization. it can be 3, 5, 7 or off for the lane change customization. Thank you again for all of your support! I'm sorry I don't speak enough Spanish to reply in Spanish for you.

Do you have any advice for a college grad who is passionate about Lexus Vehicles and looking to work at a Lexus Dealership?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Superfastjellyfish! There are some great entry roles at Lexus Dealerships. If you are looking to go into Service you can start with a Cashier or Valet position, move up as a Service Advisor. If you are looking to go into Sales, then I would see if your local dealership has a Lexus Delivery Specialist or Lexus Technology Specialist jobs available. You get to learn all about the technology and safety equipment on the vehicles and teach new Guests how to use their new vehicles. It is a great foundation for a sale career. I hope you find something fun! Thanks for tuning in!

[@erichollimon5148]

If the GS has the up/down button to the left of the steering wheel on the dash panel does this mean the vehicle has the HUD option?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Eric, if the GS is equipped with HUD you will see a panel of buttons with the top left button being labeled HUD. The up/down arrow buttons control the display brightness with and without a HUD, so you need to make sure you see the HUD button to determine if the vehicle has a Head Up Display. Thanks for checking in.

[@antongchen4732]

Lots of great details. Is there a way to stop the driver’s seat from retracting once the engine is stopped? Thanks!

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Antong! There sure is. Here's how: Menu > Setup > Vehicle > Vehicle Customize > Other Vehicle Settings > Driver Seat Easy Access (Exit) > Turn the feature off. Hope this helps!

[@antongchen4732]

@@NorthsideLexus thanks! Nobody have been able to provide this level of answer on the entire KZbin, you are fantastic!

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@antongchen4732 Thanks so much, Antong! You made my day!

[@antongchen4732]

@@NorthsideLexus got one more question: does the car have a regular trip computer recording distance and other information of a trip without auto reset, say the reset has to be done manually? Thanks!

[@NorthsideLexus]

​@@antongchen4732 You should have Trip A and Trip B on your odometer. Just press the ODO/Trip button to toggle through to see the Trip A and B. That will show mileage only. Then on the car's main screen you can also see Trip Information. Menu > Information > Fuel Consumption 👍

[@leevaden8405]

GREAT information...thank you!

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in!

I own a 2021 RX 350 .I received a recall letter from Lexus about the front low bumper may drop down anytime . But Lexus hasn't been able to find a solution . Very nervous when driving .February /2024

[@NorthsideLexus]

Make sure to check in with your Lexus dealership's service department to get more details about the recall. If your vehicle is not safe to drive they can help offer suggestions about what to do while you wait for Lexus to determine what the resolution is.

[@zacharyhicks2136]

Appreciate the mute feature. Just learned that one.

[@NorthsideLexus]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching and for your great comments!

[@lrodd247]

You showed the jack but how do you remove the freakin thing..? Very helpful tutorial btw! 😊

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Usually there is a tension band holding the jack into place and you may also need to loosen the expander that will close the jack down a bit so you can remove it. I hope this helps! Thanks for being here!

[@lrodd247]

@NorthsideLexus Oh ok, I've been looking for the info everywhere and I've been going crazy . Thanks, I'll try that. I really appreciate it. I saved this video in my favorites 😉👌

[@subhan7782]

Hi How comes My 2019 GS F sport with Triple beams and Mark Levinson doesn’t have a heated steering wheel but every other F sport has it. Also i have the cold weather package

[@NorthsideLexus]

Great questions. Usually the heated steering wheel is part of a package or a separate item. Since I'm not is sales, I'm not sure what the packages were at that time. Have you checked with your sales person? They may be able to tell you more. Thanks for checking in!

[@hunainsaleem7792]

Can you please give the full review of LC200 V8

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! This is the 2020 LC500 full tutorial. There are not a lot of major change for 2021. Hopefully this will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6KUm2p9fqmghq8 We don't have an LC200 in the states. Thanks so much for tuning in.

[@AllEyezOnRod]

Yes now add CarPlay Apple Play please it’s just a software update which is all needed to make the GS line up relevant and competitive simply!

[@NorthsideLexus]

That would be so great! I wish the GS was on the list of vehicles compatible for the Apple CarPlay retro fit. Unfortunately the Gen 9 systems were not compatible for the update so Lexus wasn't able to roll that out for this vehicle. Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@thedailydoseofficialTV]

very nice tutorial ! !! !helpful ! ! !

[@NorthsideLexus]

Thanks so much! So glad it was helpful for you! Thanks for tuning in!

[@alizadarmz]

What is the function we can have on the blank button on the left side of the steering wheel?

[@NorthsideLexus]

If you have a panel of four buttons with the top right button blank, that is also what the Owner's manual shows. It is possible there is a feature available in other countries that I don't have information for in the US, or the button is there for symmetry in the layout. Quick Guide pg 7: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM30J10U/pdf/OM30J10U.pdf

How do i make the screen from split screen to full screen

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi @Ultra_Soubway. If you are on the Home screen, just click on one of the tiles and the image will go to full screen. Please let me know if that doesn't answer your question. If not, please give me a little more detail and I'll be happy to help.

[@subhan7782]

Thanks so much it worked i am in the uk i have a gs450h F sport and a 2012 RX450h

[@dansgen1alero]

On the HUD, it appears if the LKA is on it takes priority over any other display option on the left side. Is there a way to have the LKA on but not display on the HUD and be able to toggle one of the other two options (ECO or REV and shift indicator). The LKA has its own screen on the dash which I prefer so do not need it on the HUD. If this is not possible, what was the design intention of not allowing it to be cycled off but keep LKA on? thanks

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Dan, The HUD isn't as customizable as I would like, but try this. Use the Driving Support screen on the MID (the display on your instrument cluster), use the left or right arrows to select that screen, then chose the HUD layout that gives you the most additional content. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in with me!

[@dansgen1alero]

@@NorthsideLexus Thanks for getting back to me, however I have not seen a screen on MID on the left that cycles through the HUD options. Can you provide a little more detail as to where this screen would be? The LKA settings on the MID also do not appear to have any HUD settings unless I missed it. Thanks

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@dansgen1alero Hey Dan, check this section of the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafbi4lrptKifck use the arrow pad on the right side of the steering wheel until you are on the screen that show the LKA and Cruise Control info (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jafbi4lrptKifck) That should allow you to see that information more clearly. Then you can customize what else shows in your HUD, by toggling the DISP button for the different available views. I hope that helps👍

[@dansgen1alero]

@@NorthsideLexus Yes I can get to the LKA, however I misunderstood you about the HUD settings through the LKA screen on the MID. That I do not see. That I can only set the LKA sensitivity etc, The only way I have been able to toggle the HUD left side options is by turning off the LKA then I can toggle the DISP button on the HUD control to go between the ECO screen and the drive dear/tach screen. So it sounds like there is no way to have LKA on, but not show on the HUD.

[@NorthsideLexus]

@@dansgen1alero I see what you're saying. I'm sorry there aren't additional customizations in the car for that. When you are in for your next service, I would ask if the Technician can find any additional customizations with the TechStream. There may be more advanced setting they can see with the computer that I don't have access to. That will be our last hope.

[@subhan7782]

Hello how do i use the headlight washers in the 2018 gs350 f sport because i can see them in my bumper but i dont know how to use them. If it is in the video can you tell me what time in the video it is or just tell me where the button/switch or where it is on the stalk

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi Thanks for tuning in. I checked the online Owner's Manual to confirm for you: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/om-s/OM30G34U/pdf/OM30G34U.pdf (Page 224) - "Washer/wiper dual operation: Wipers will automatically operate a couple of times after the washer squirts. - Vehicles with headlight cleaners: When the headlights are on and the lever is pulled and held, the headlight cleaners will operate once. After this, the headlight cleaners will operate every 5th time the lever is pulled." Make sure the headlights are on, or the linked function won't activate and just the windshield will be cleaned. I'm sorry I don't have an index for this video yet and I don't think the GS I was able to get had the Headlamp Cleaners. Hopefully this will help :)

Nice video, but you did't open the hood once to talk about the engine...so almost a full tutorial. ;)

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi, doctajonz . Thanks so much for your feedback. There are so many other amazing Lexus reviewers out there that cover the powertrains, performance capabilities and packaging. Since I specialize and am certified in Lexus Technology, I try to focus my tutorials on what we teach a our Guests when they pick up their new Lexus at our dealerships. I hope this helps to explain the purpose of the tutorials and what we do and don't cover. If you're looking for reviewers, I highly recommend: kzbin.info and kzbin.info Thanks again for tuning in with us!

How do you deactivate auto telescope after power shut off?

[@NorthsideLexus]

Hi! Thanks for watching. That feature is customized under the Setup menu. Here's how to do that on a 2020 GX: Here's the list of customizable settings shown on LexusDrivers.com: drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drivers-lscs-theme/PDF/services/2020/20GX460sml.pdf Menu - Setup - Vehicle - Vehicle Customization - Other Vehicle Settings - Driver's Seat Easy Exit (the seat and steering wheel movement are linked). You can change the setting from Full, Partial or Off. See item #18 from the list above. If you don't have that customization then your Lexus dealer can customize the Tilt Away feature for you through a computer in the Service Department. Check out item #38 for details. Hope this gets you what you're looking for :)
