Electro-Chromatic Device in the Dash

For optimum instrument readability despite bright sunlight, there's an Electro-Chromatic Device (ECD) system installed in the meter glass of the dash. It controls sunlight reflection by day and enhances the readout visibility at night, allowing the instrumentation to keep you informed at all times

Climate controlled seats with memory function

Fan-assisted Climate Controlled Front Seats cradle you with comfort, keeping you refreshed on long hot journeys, or toasty warm on cool days. With 8-way power adjustment, you can easily tailor settings to maintain your preferred posture. If another driver has been in your car, the memory function allows personalised settings to be instantly recalled at the touch of a button.

Bluetooth Technology

Handsfree communication assumes a new dimension in simplicity. Simply register your Bluetooth-compatible mobile with the inbuilt system, then key call functions can be accessed via the EMV screen. So you can make calls, search the phonebook, register and receive calls with fingertip ease.

Mark Levinson Audio

Internationally renowned sound designer Mark Levinson considers Lexus cars among the most acoustically pure platforms worthy of his audiophile-quality sound systems. The 14-speaker system in the GS430 incorporates an Automatic Sound Leveliser (ASL) and 6-disc CD changer. Audio controls are also located on the steering wheel, for your convenience.

DVD Satellite Navigation (1)

The Lexus Satellite Navigation in the GS430 is DVD based, offering faster recall of electronic maps than CD-based systems. It displays the three most efficient routes to your destination on the EMV screen. Voice commands guide you to your destination like a personal navigator, to make getting lost a thing of the past.

Smart Key Entry

As you approach the car with Smart Key in your pocket, you can unlock the doors simply by gripping the handle. Then, you can start the car at the touch of the 'start' button. You can also open the boot with similar ease. For security, your Smart Key is unique to your vehicle. In addition, smart illumination activates the door and interior lighting offering a warm welcome on dark nights.

Rear View Monitor (2)

Even when you're going backwards, Lexus technology is thinking ahead. The GS is equipped with a rear view camera discreetly mounted above the rear number plate. Simply select reverse and a clear image of what's behind the rear bumper is displayed on the Electro Multi Vision screen, for easer reversing and parking.

The area into which the vehicle is to be reversed must still be visually monitored by the driver while parking. Keep reversing speeds under five kilometres per hour. Camera images may be affected by the weather and light conditions. Always observe skilled driving and safe parking practices.
