I have a LS460 flier that refers to: “Hands free parking that pulls the car into a parking space.”

This is fascinating! How does it work?

Are there little midgets underneath just waiting to “raise up and push,” is there a caterpillar track, or what?

And, by the way, is the exterior appearance different on the 460 from the 430? If so, what are the noticeable changes? (I'm a NEW Lexus guy and don't know my Lexus cars very well yet.)

There are TONS of pics posted of teh LS460 that can be found in just about every thread in the LS460 forum. Lots of discussion about the self parking feature as well. Have a look, and welcome to Club Lexus by the way.

 

hello, welcome!

here's a video link of the upcoming 07 Prius that has the same parking feature. pretty neat-o

By the way, is this feature standard or optional on the 460? the 600h?

 

Auto Park feature is supposed to be optional on the LS460 and L models. I can't get my sources to confirm the feature being standard on the 600hL. considering it's the top dollar Lexus...I don't see why not.

 

I wonder if this feature will have a nag screen: "Lexus is not responsible if you run over ppl's toes' !!

 

i would think it's probably standard on the 600hl too

 

I would be a little nervous the first time I try it. I would probably try it with my plastic garbage bins first just outside my house . . .

 

The magic button!

 

hahahaa, you are thinking the same thing i do andrew

 

It works using numerous sensors and such.
