The manual is available online, I saved the PDF files for perusal at home, and leave the actual manual in the car for quick reference.

What's the URL for that? I'd love to have it in PDF format.

Log into the Lexus owners site and click on "Search owner's manual". Set "Document" to owner's manual and then click search. It will list every chapter of the manual, but the chapters start at the bottom of the list and go up. I guess that's a Japanese thing!

Not available yet for the LS600hL. Can't tell me my personalized settings and doesn't show any manuals yet. Oh well.

I know the 460/460L manual is available, would you be interested in that one?

My first instinct is to say sure. My second is to say, don't worry about it. I'll wait till mine is available.

It's like the scene from Animal House with the angel and devil on that guy's shoulders.

OK, I know it also took a while for the latest RX 400h manual to get uploaded.

For what it's worth, I registered with lexus.com today as per the above suggestion. When it described my LS460, it said it was a 6 speed transmission. I guess they modified the LS430 description but missed that.

I sent Lexus.com an email about that after I registered mine, they sent me some BS about working on it. 3 months later, I sent another email wondering why this was not changed--they knocked me off as a registered owner and will not let me back on!

daryll40, what brand of tires came on yours? My tires are loosing 2.5 to 3 lbs of pressure each month (they are Bridgestone EL42). I'm going to a tire dealer this week, as my dealer said it's not the wheels.

I have the Bridgestones too.

Losing 2-3 pounds/month? So? ALL tires do that. For years I have religiously checked my tire air (in three cars) twice per month, every month. Usually I have to add a few pounds. Michelins do seem somewhat better. Plus when the weather cools down (like now, here in the Northeast), you lose pressure. I fail to see what the problem is.

The seal between the tires and the wheels is leaking, and needs to be re-done. It happens. That is your dealer's responsibility, and is in fact a warranty item. Call Corporate if you don't get results.

Hmm, that sounds needlessly malicious! I suggest re-registering under a different username.
