Default New owner, first of lots of questions!

Hi everyone

I picked up my GS300 SE last week and am trying to learn what all the buttons, gatgets and gizmos do but I love the car. I was shocked to learn from the sales geezer at Exeter lexus that the voice commands are not listed in any manual - not impressed with that. Ive had a look on here but it doesnt jump out at me but im sure that one of you has a list that you can either send me, post on here or post the link to. Many thanks

The voice command is listed in the Nav unit and there is a list floating around here somehwere. I believe the list in the Nav unit is not complete.

Welcome and congrats on your new ride!

Uh your sales geezer doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm 99.9% sure they are listed in the full nav manual. At least they were on my '04 GX and '07 GS. Look again and I'm sure you'll find them but don't worry, they don't work that well anyhow

You can get a good list from the nav itself under help. I also got a foldout glossy hardcard, separate from the owners and nav manuals, that had the voice commands listed. i haven't looked at it closely enough to see any differences. Bottom line tho, you didn't get all the docs you should. But try the help on screen function for starters.

Welcome to Club Lexus Sharon!! Congratulation on your purchase of the GS300.

I have one question. What is a GS300 SE? I never heard or seen one before.

^^ Look at the OPs profile, she's from the UK. SE is a model designation in Europe:

The GS300 specification includes Smart Key entry and push-button start-up system, 10-speaker sound system with in-dash six-disc CD player, speed-sensitive electric power steering, cruise control, sequenced interior lighting with LED technology, leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel, advanced automatic dual-zone air conditioning, eight-way electrically adjustable front seats, tyre pressure warning system, Adaptive Front-lighting System, 17-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth® connectivity and an eight-inch touch-screen display.

GS300 SE models add the Lexus DVD-based satellite navigation system with rear view monitor and steering-guided parking sensors, leather upholstery and additional lumbar adjustment plus heating and ventilation functions for the front seats.

The GS300 SE-L adopts an electric tilt/slide sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels and a Mark Levinson® 14-speaker hi-fi system. Standard features on the GS430 include Adaptive Cruise Control with Pre-Crash Safety and a wood and leather trimmed steering wheel.

The OP will think that all of you across the pond are daffy . . .

I got with my manual a foldable pamphlet that lists all of the voice commands.

Here is a list I posted a while back (though I am not the original source).... may not
apply 100% to U.K. models.... but at least it is a start.
