The button when depressed, allows you to shift the gear stick out of P without starting the car.

you'd have to look hard to find a GS NOT equipped with the Premium Package which includes Heated/Ventilated Seats, Power Rear Sunshade, and Rain Sensing Wipers

Yeah, no heated seats, this looks like a stripper/fleet model.

If anything, I'd think a stripped model would have heated seats and not the ventilated. I'm assuming then there is no nav either. I've always wondered what a 4GS without the flat screen tv up front looks like lol.

Interesting. So I can see why you guys don't need seat warmers lol. So do you have the 12.3 in screen? Also, do you get the card key as the primary key?

Looking back through I noticed you live in Dubai which makes total sense for you to only have ventilated seats. This is probably a specific build for the UAE.

Nobody has explained why his car has the button there and most other cars only have a place to put a key in a slot. I have a brand new 2014 and it only has the key slot.

It could be the fact that us in the US get physical keys with out cars as the main keys, which we can use to put in the slot. Other parts of the country only get key cards. Maybe?


Quick Reply: the button on the side of gear shift ??
