Default Just picked up my gs300!

Does anyone know when I can get a manual for this car? What does the ect pwr and snow do? Is there a way to adjust the headlight level? Is there an aux plug for music?

ect power and snow are just modes you can switch to. I know when I put mine in ECT power it shifts quicker and doesn't shift early. I can't stand driving it normal because of the way I drive. I get better mpg with ect mode than normal. There should be adjusters on the headlamps themselves. No aux unless 08+ I believe. My 06 430 doesn't have one. I'm using a grom unit.

ect power allows you to drive in the 6th gear, like its in over drive. you can order a new manual for free if you register your vehicle with Lexus, try www.lexus.com

If you're car is equipped with AFS, then yes. You can check by going to the hidden buttons on the driver side knee area, and if you find a button that turns off / on AFS then yes you have it
