Preheat/Precool Lexus RZ while charging?

[Draftsman1024]

I'm trying to figure out how to pre-condition my EV to warm up or cool down the cabin while it's still plugged in. I swear I saw a feature that lets you do this, but now I can’t find it anywhere. Anyone else used this or know how to turn it on?

You’re on the right track! Preconditioning your Lexus RZ is great for comfort and efficiency. If you’re using the app, you can control the climate remotely by navigating to the Remote Services section, just set the temperature and hit start. Use the in-car system, the Climate settings and enable “Preconditioning” with a scheduled Departure Time. Remember, it works best when the battery is sufficiently charged. If you still can’t find it, a quick check with your Lexus dealer might reveal any updates or fixes. It’s a game-changer, especially in extreme weather!

Oh, nice! I was looking all over the app and couldn’t find anything that said “Preconditioning.” I’ll check the Remote Services section, thanks for the tip!

Hey, I've read that you can usually find this feature in your car's app or infotainment system. Look for something like "Climate Control" or "Pre-conditioning" in the settings, and make sure it's set to work when you're plugged in.

You might also be able to schedule it to start automatically before you usually leave.

If you can't find it, check your owner's manual or the manufacturer's app.

you can preheat or precool your RZ while it's charging. I use the Lexus app to set the cabin temperature before I leave, especially on chilly mornings. It's pretty straightforward: open the app, go to the climate settings, and choose your preferred temperature. Just ensure your car is connected to the charger so it uses grid power instead of the battery. This way, you start your drive with a full charge and a comfy cabin.
