For cars that are equipped with PCS, the blank panel in the picture above is probably occupied by the PCS Braking Disable switch.

Yes C I know about those buttons, I wanted to see that extra button on his car.

I am not sure.. may be I just forgot about it..

1. TPMS on/off. I actually need this because I don't want to spend $228 for 3 months that I put snow tires on. My dealer charges me $114 to program tmps of my snow tires and another $114 to program the summer tires back in spring.
2. There is a reset button right next to the preceding button. This resets the PCS malfunction light. It worked for me.

These two buttons are just above the accelerator pedal. If you lean into the well, you will see them side by side.
How do you come to own THREE ls 600HLs?
Again just curious....not bustin ya bawls!

Display? What display? There is no display on the top of the steering wheel. If you are refering to the LEDs, yes, both cars have them. They actually are idential cars, because they are both nieman marcus edition - which came only in one color, with all options (excluding executive seating).

Yes I was referring to the LEDs display on top of the steering wheel column.

Injudicious operation of the Set switch can compromise the safety features provided by the TPMS and cause nuisance false alarms.


I stand corrected. I checked and you are correct. The on/off switch is for PCS. There is a TPMS button but I don't know what it actually does!
