45If you drive only occasionally under
any of the special operating condi -
tions noted, it is not necessary to

What are Lexus
Personalized Settings?
Your vehicle includes a variety of
electronic features that can be pro -
grammed to your preferences. For
example, doors can be programmed
to remain locked when you shift into
“Park.” (For more information, see the
“Customizable Features” section of the
Specifications chapter in your Owner’s
Manual .) Programming of these fea -
tures is performed once at no charge,
provided you obtain the service at the
six-month/5,000-mile scheduled
