hi i just bought an 06 gs300 today and it didnt come with a manual. i tried searching but seems like no one is having my problem

1) how does the 3 presets for adjustments work after you save to memory? for example, i set my presets and hold the preset number and set and hear the beep. i do this for my wife also for her preset. when she goes in the car, she presses the preset set for her and nothing happens?? it seems to always default to my preset

2) when i hold close on the moonroof, it goes into a cycle and closes all the way and opens back up again as long as i hold the button. i have to wait just right when it goes down before i can let go to have it close all the way down, is this normal?


other than these 2 things the car drives great

also another question is, whats the S stand for on the transmssion next to drive? is that like a sport mode?

congrats on the new car! hopefully i can help with your questions.

1) this is for the seat position correct? IIRC you need to have the car in P in order for that to work.

2) same thing happened to my moonroof and it was pita. your tracks may be dirty. get a cloth and wipe down the tracks on each side. that did the trick for me when i had that issue.

yes S is for sport mode. you get quicker shifts if you put it in S mode

sign up at mylexus.com and request they send you a manual. When I bought my GS350 I had to do this.

1) Car must be in P for the button to recall, oddly you can make all seat and steering adjustments while driving at any speeds, it just refuses to do recall the positions. Each key can have a preset associated with it so when that key unlocks the driver's door the preset is recalled
2) something is jamming your sunroof and the pressure switch is causing it to stop closing, it re-opens for safety in case whatever was stuck was someone's head (car does have a low roof line)

I am pretty sure S actually does not stand for "sport", IIRC in my manual it is referred to as "Selectable" meaning you can select the gear range to operate in, it really seems quite apt as it does not do any "sport" mode things like re-map throttle response or stiffen suspension, all it does it limit the max gear range up to the one shown on the LCD and even then it will ignore you if you over rev it..... basically use for towing or on really hilly terrain.

its only for the trans thats why. it wont change your suspension or engine at all.

That's awesome! I was trying to find out how to get a manual as my car didn't come with one. Thanks!

thanks all for the help! ill order my manual. by the way, i did leave it in P and set the seat and held the set and preset, heard the beep, but when i change it and get out of the car, it does get back to where it was before? do i need to press something to get the seat to move back to the preset? im doing all of this in P by the way

I'm pretty sure it goes back to the last programed seat position when the car is started. I don't know that for a fact because I don't let the wife drive my Lexus. Either way if you select a preprogramed seat position it should move into that position.

Your moon roof needs to be programed...

Basically you need to close the moon roof then hold the open tilt button, the moon roof will tilt open, then shut, then open all the way and then close itself. When its done with this process the moon roof will be programed and you can release the open tilt button.

Don't waste you money on a manual go to...
