Lexus App Functions
We recommend you browse the app’s functions on your cellphone. As you explore the various remote operations, it’s important to remember that your Lexus must be parked in an area with reliable cellular service. Your Lexus communicates with the Lexus App through a unique cellular connection tuned specifically with your smart device. Think of it as a personal cell phone on wheels that only you can call.
Remote Lock/Unlock
Now you can lock or unlock your vehicle from anywhere you have a signal on your smartphone, which can come in handy.
For instance, when your friend calls and tells you that they left their wallet in your car when you went to lunch earlier and they need to retrieve it, but you’re stuck in a budget meeting. You can unlock your car without missing a line item and lock it again once they retrieve their wallet. Or perhaps you left town but have that nagging feeling that you forgot to lock your car. Open the app and check. You can lock it with a push of a button, return to your getaway, and relax.
Remote Engine Start/Stop
L.A. summers get hot, and there’s nothing worse than getting into a car that’s been baking in the sun all day. Well, you don’t have to anymore with the Lexus App. Open the app on your cell and press and hold the “Engine Start” button until the wheel starts spinning. The wheel stops when your engine starts, and your Lexus will cool down to your current climate control settings.
Or maybe you decided to hike Mt. Baldy on a cool winter’s day, parking your Lexus GX at the trailhead. You can remotely start your engine and let the interior warm up to take the chill away before you return. Lexus built in a feature to protect you against leaving your car running by mistake when using this feature. Your Lexus engine will shut off after ten minutes if you don’t arrive.
Find Your Lexus
Have you ever walked out of a mall and forgotten where you parked? Staring down row after row in a seemingly endless pattern can sink your spirits. However, using the last parked location feature on your Lexus App helps you find your vehicle in those big parking lots. If your Lexus has a good cellular connection, you can open the app and locate your car.
You can also use this function in the city. For example, say you found a great parking spot outside your client’s office but had another errand to run nearby. It’s easy to get turned around in unfamiliar territory. However, with the Lexus App, you can get walking directions to return to your car without getting lost.
Guest Driver Settings
You love your new Lexus, but you know you won’t be the only person driving it. Perhaps your wife’s Lexus needs service, or your teenage son asks to borrow the car to go out with friends. Of course, you know the valet at your favorite restaurant will drive your Lexus too. The Lexus App allows you to set driver parameters when someone else gets behind the wheel. Now, you can relinquish your keys confidently in these situations, knowing you can set limits for speed, curfew, engine run time, total driving distance, and the distance from a fixed location.
Vehicle Health Reports
The Lexus App allows you to view all your vehicle’s critical data, from oil levels and degradation to any safety recalls and upcoming maintenance. You can use the app to schedule service too. Plus, you can link your finances and make monthly payments using the app.
