“Start Your Engines”Remote Engine Start Value StoryYou know what it’s like to climb into a vehicle on an extremely cold or warm day
— you want to make the interior temperature more comfortable as quickly as
possible.
With the available Remote Engine Start, you can start the engine before you climb
into the vehicle and activate such features as the air conditioner, heater and
windshield defogger, as well as heated and ventilated front seats.
For added convenience, you can even use the system to pre-program the climate
control and seat settings so your vehicle is ready and waiting for you with the
desired temperature settings. An added plus—Remote Engine Start is seamlessly
integrated with your vehicle’s keyless entry system so there is no need to carry an
additional remote fob.

“No Key Required”SmartAccess Value StoryNobody likes fumbling for their keys—fortunately with SmartAccess, you don’t
have to.
Even functions like starting the vehicle, locking or unlocking the doors or trunk,
activating the illuminated entry system, or activating the panic button are made
easier and more convenient with SmartAccess. SmartAccess allows you to perform
all of these functions without the use of a conventional key. All you have to do is
keep the SmartAccess fob in your possession. You can also program which doors
you want to lock and unlock. And for added security, you can separate the
mechanical key from the key fob when using valet services.
All operation signals are sent to the vehicle as a rolling code.
With SmartAccess, you enjoy hands-free convenience, along with added security.

Lexus Premium Seats
Lexus Premium Seat Design•Optimum comfort and support• Easy-to-operate manual and power adjustments• Available heated and ventilated front seats on most models• Available memory settings
– Seat position– Side mirrors– Steering column
Advanced Fabrics and Seat Trim• Luxurious perforated semi-aniline leather• Eco-conscious NuLuxe™ seat trim
“Preferred Seating”Lexus Premium Seats Value StoryOne of the most important ways Lexus helps ensure that your comfort is through
advanced seat design and features. Whether operated through power controls or
manually, Lexus models feature seats that are specially contoured for excellent
support and comfort.
Depending on the model, you can enjoy heated and ventilated seats as well as a
climate control feature that automatically adjusts the seat temperature to
maintain the ideal temperature setting.
In addition to multiple seat adjustments, Lexus also offers a variety of upholstery
and fabrics that feel as good as they look. Lexus offers superior quality perforated
semi-aniline leather. This extremely soft leather is dyed all the way through, unlike
the conventional surface dyeing process, for improved durability and appearance.
“Preferred Seating”Lexus Premium Seats Value Story (cont.)A few Lexus models are also now available with NuLuxe™ interior upholstery. It’s
an eco-conscious alternative to genuine leather that weighs less, which helps
reduce overall vehicle weight. In addition, no Volatile Organic Components (VOC)
or metal dies are used in the manufacturing process. During the manufacturing
process, it also reduces C02 output by 65% over genuine leather.

“Bright Lights”Lexus Headlamp Design Value StoryNight driving demands good visibility, which is why Lexus has put so much thought
and effort into headlamp design. High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps
provide excellent illumination on even the darkest nights. The bulbs produce a
brighter light, with a longer and wider reach than conventional headlamps. And
while they operate at a considerably higher voltage, they also consume less
electricity. HID headlamps include the added convenience of an auto-leveling
system to help reduce glare from oncoming vehicles and maintain an optimum
position in relation to the road’s surface.
Lexus also offers the enhanced performance of light-emitting diode headlamps
which reduce energy consumption even further, have a longer life expectancy and
illuminate a greater area than conventional bulbs. In addition to auto-leveling, LED
headlamps offer the added convenience of headlamp washers.
“Bright Lights”Lexus Headlamp Design Value Story (cont.)Because conventional headlamps have certain limitations, Lexus engineers also
developed an Adaptive Front Lighting System. Available on select Lexus models,
this innovative headlamp system points the headlamps toward the inside of the
corner when turning. In a sense, it enables the driver to “see” around corners. The
system operates automatically and includes auto-leveling.
Various Lexus models also offer the convenience of Intelligent High Beams. They
automatically switch to low beams when the system senses an oncoming vehicle.
Once the vehicle has passed, the system switches them back to high beams.

Lexus Electrochromic Auto-Dimming Mirrors
Electrochromic Auto-Dimming Mirrors• Two sensors in mirror detect glare and automatically dim mirror• Enhanced driver comfort and visibility• Available on interior rearview and side mirrors
“Eliminate Glare”Electrochromic Auto-Dimming Mirrors Value StoryYou know what it feels like to be driving at night and have to contend with the
headlight glare from the vehicle traveling behind you. An electrochromic auto-
dimming mirror is specifically designed to detect glare from behind the vehicle and
automatically “dim” the mirror effect to prevent bright lights from being reflected
into the eyes of the driver.
Electrochromic auto-dimming mirrors are designed to improve safety and driver
comfort by reducing this glare automatically—and many Lexus vehicles are
available with electrochromic auto-dimming mirrors both on the inside rearview
mirror and the external side mirrors.

Lexus Power Windows
Unique Power Window Features• Electric drive motor slows the closing and opening of power windows• Forms a tighter seal• Reduces interior noise• Promotes durability and longer life
“Special Window Treatment”Power Windows Value StoryLexus power windows operate in much the same manner as a traditional power
window, but with a unique Lexus touch.
As the lift mechanism approaches the top and bottom of the window travel, the
electric drive motor slows down to minimize pressure on both the window seals
and on the window winder mechanism. In this way, the window seal will retain a
better quality seal which, in turn, means a quieter ride and longer life.
This is another detail that shows the traditional Lexus approach to quality,
durability and longevity.
