Default Air Suspension?

Hi Guys,


I am trying to figure out if my car has air suspension. It is an 05 LS430 with the luxury package. It does not have the height control button in the middle though. If there is no height control button does that mean that it is a conventional suspension, rather than the air suspension? Thanks

There are geniuses on the site that can confirm this but it sounds like you do not have the air suspension. It was an extra cost on the Modern Luxury and the Custom Luxury packages and standard on the Ultra Luxury package. You didn't say which one you had, or if you know. You may get a lot of details by creating a login on the Lexus USA home page for "My Lexus" and putting in your VIN number.
The air suspension does have a height button on the center console above the shifter.

You have the custom luxury model. No air suspension.

Yes, I found the sticker that came with the car and it says "custom luxury selection", ok so no air suspension. I guess that's a good thing, from what I hear the air suspension can be problematic. Thanks for the help guy's
