the F Sport models are not equipped with AFS. Auto leveling yes, AFS no.

MP3 files on a CD will give you the folder tree. But not from USB.

I am pretty sure your car doesn't have AFS. But if you want to confirm, at night have your car facing your garage door or wall when you start it (headlights on Auto). The headlights will do a self-test. If yours only move up and down than you don't have AFS. On cars that have AFS the headlights will move up-down, left-right.

There is also a AFS disable button located underneath the dash, to the left of the brake pedal, at least on left-hand drive models.

Hi Gvvts,

It is a pleasure to meet you. Can you enlighten me about the maximum angle before the hill start control gives up? I have the 2013 Lexus gs350 Fsport awd and I find the hill start assists works on most occasions but doesn't work all the time.

If I can find out more on this I will certainly post the info.
Do you know if the software is able to read foreign characters (eg. Chinese)?

I am sorry, but there is nothing published that I have at my disposal that indicate and actual maximum angle the Hill-Start Assist Control will work at. The only thing I have is the following warning:

GVVTS,

Can you share the exact TechStream menu flow to disable the automatic seat heater ramp down on the 4th gen GS350? My dealership claims they couldn't find anything related to the seats.

Thanks,
