My 80 year old mother got very worried when the Eco light came on in her car. She immediately drove home and called Lexus for service. I sent her your video and she has turned the "frightening" light off and all is good. Thanks for the video!

Is this recommend? Eco when low on fuel, normal when on concrete, and sport when rain, snow, and sleet

[sajidkhan-nvew]

Thanks for the demo it was very helpful.

You are the best. No one else explains things as understandably as you do. You make everything simple to understand. Thank You!

[devonpeters]

Thank you! Is there any way to keep Sport mode as the default mode like you can for Eco and normal?

[shay]

When do I want to turn the traction control off?
