Default 2008 GS350 owners manual

Trying to find a GS350 owner's manual online in PDF but nothing. Anyone have a copy of the PDF and not 500 pgs as is on the Lexus website? My dealership said that it would be very hard to order a copy in and may take quite awhile. Any help would be great. thanks!

You can order one for free on Lexus.com and they will mail it to you.

You registered for the Lexus drivers website? - if not, you can go here: http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home , register with your info and VIN #, and all the various manuals for your car are there in PDF form.

Once you are able to log in there will be a "Manuals & Resources" button, then you can just hit the 'search' button with the field left blank, and it should come up with all of the various manuals for your vehicle. (There are about 30 for mine, so I won't try to repost them all here...)

ok, so after 7! phone calls and the website not allowing me to register for Club Lexus but finally on Friday they send me a generic code to sign up with and I go into the website and.....
nothing.
There are no manuals for a 2008 GS350 there which is my vehicle and the only doc's they have are supplementary documents for an update on the manual, not the original owner's manual itself. So I phone up the nice people at Lexus Canada AND the US and they keep telling me to go to my dealership and they cannot ship any owner's manuals to me at all. It has to be taken care of in dealership even though my dealership states that it's an older! manual and they're not sure they can even get it.
thanks Lexus Canada and US and the bloody website, now I'm about tired with it all. I could always download the 200 pages in regular format at the Lexus site though, gee, what a great idea. Not that Lexus is just any old car and I didn't pay a premium for it and oddly enough, got more respect and better help with my Starbucks card than I did with Lexus. Go figure. anyone help a poor soul out? (love my new GS though

No worries!

1.Go to Mylexus.com
2. Press login, and type in user name and password and enter
3. Once the site loads you will see your vehicles color and vin number on the right
4. On the icons, the 2nd row, the first icon is Manuals & Resources click on it
5. There you will find a search engine to search your owners manual, it is in PDF files
6. On the left side column theres a "Order Owner's Manual" click on it.
7. Make sure your address and information is correct and click next and you should have a copy within 2 weeks

just one catch. I'm in Toronto, Canada, and that site seems to only accept US addresses. Can I sign in with a friend's address perhaps and have it sent there instead? The Canadian site doesn't allow anything like this at all for PDF files. Is there a site to get the PDF even if in Canada? The wall is becoming higher and higher. lol

I wonder if it is your browser? Try using Internet Explorer maybe?
