There's like an invisible button next to the headrest. You push down where the right rod would be and it'll allow you to pull up.

Nav help!

Does someone know how to set the Nav to either take "mostly highway" or "inside road" is there an option for this?

My settings right now kept taking me inside roads instead of highway!

Jon, on the navigation Map screen click on ROUTE (assuming a destination is already set) and preferences. Make sure Freeways are set to "ON" aka green/yellow light

NP

Actually waiting to here more on the GS-F and RC-F. 14 more months of tenure and two more classes and I'll be Master Certified so Lexus will pay part of my Master Lease on the Lexus of my choosing, so I'l be keeping my current car for at least a year and half more. No worries though as just today I turned it in for a 60K service

I wanted something a little roomier plus the the GS350 came with the 3 main criteria that ive been looking for in a Lexus (white, parking assist, and mark levinson)

Here is what I think about the 2 cars:
GS350 vs IS350
Speed: The IS350 is definitely quicker
Room: The GS is nicer, GS has nicer interior
Ride: GS is smoother and quieter
Handling: IS350
