Driving position memory
Check that the shift lever is in P.
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside rear view
mirrors to the desired positions. (When memorizing the front
passenger’s seat, adjust the front passenger’s seat to the desired
positions.)
While pressing the “SET” but-
ton, or within 3 seconds after
the “SET” button is pressed,
press button “1”, “2” or “3”
until the signal beeps.
If the selected button has already
been preset, the previously
recorded position will be overwrit-
ten.
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat,
steering wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be memorized
and recalled by pressing a button. It is also possible to set this func-
tion to activate automatically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.
The same buttons are found on the front passenger’s side, allowing
the position of the front passenger’s seat to be memorized (if
equipped).

Operation of each component
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
When driving position memory is linked with door unlock operation
If the driver’s door is opened, the driver’s seat will move toward the memo-
rized position but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehi-
cle.
Turning the engine switch to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode, or fas-
tening the driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
Operating the driving position memory after turning the engine switch off
Driver’s seat:
Memorized seat positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the
driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is closed again. Mem-
orized steering wheel position can be activated by pressing the engine switch.
Front passenger’s seat:
Memorized positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the front pas-
senger’s door is opened by pressing button “1”, “2” or “3”.
Correct seat position
When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat
is being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize
the current position and the memorized position will not be correctly
recalled.
The auto away function for exiting the driver’s seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function
may not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away
function can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 855)
CAUTION
Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear
passenger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.

Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and cause an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.

1723-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
Auto anti-glare inside rear view mirror
Responding to the level of brightness of the headlights of vehicles
behind, the reflected light is automatically reduced.
Changing automatic anti-glare
function mode
ON/OFF
When the automatic anti-glare
function is in ON mode, the indi-
cator illuminates.
The function will set to ON mode
each time the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode.
Pressing the button turns the func-
tion to OFF mode. (The indicator
also turns off.)
To prevent sensor error (vehicles with auto anti-glare inside rear view mirror)
Indicator
To ensure that the sensors operate prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.

Operation of each component
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
Using the switch
Press the switch to fold the
mirrors.
Press it again to extend them to
the original position.
Setting automatic mode

1763-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing
When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, the outside
rear view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is
reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this func-
tion, select neither “L” nor “R”.
If the mirror angle adjustment switch is operated while the linked mirror
function is in operation, the angle and position of the mirrors can be remem-
bered, and the mirrors will operate at the angle adjusted to the last time the
linked mirror function was operated.
However, because the mirrors move based on the angle they are in when the
linked mirror function is not operating, the mirror angle when the linked
mirror function is operating will also be changed if the mirrors are adjusted
while the function is not operating.
Rain clearing mirrors (if equipped)
When water droplets collects on the mirror surface, for example when it
rains, the rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect of the mirrors causes the droplets
to be spread out into a film making the rear view clearer. In the following
cases, the rain clearing effect will be reduced temporarily, but will return
after 1 or 2 days’ exposure to direct sunlight.
After wiping dirt off the mirrors
When the mirrors fog up
After waxing your vehicle in an automatic car wash
After your vehicle has been parked for a long period in underground park-
ing lots etc. where there is no direct sunlight
When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers.
Turn on the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror
defoggers. (P. 430)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automati-
cally by the driving position memory. (P. 162)

Operation of each component
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the out-
side rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 172)
Using automatic mode in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze
up and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event,
remove any ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror
using manual mode or move the mirror by hand.
CAUTION
Important points while driving
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.
When the mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot
and burn you.
NOTICE
If the mirrors become iced up (vehicles with rain-clearing mirror)
In order to retain the rain-clearing properties of the mirror, do not attempt to
scrape the ice off. Instead, remove it by turning on the mirror defoggers or
by applying warm water.

1823-5. Opening, closing the windows and moon roof
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
The moon roof can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Operating the moon roof after turning the engine off
The moon roof can be operated for approximately 45 seconds after the
engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. It cannot, how-
ever, be operated once either front door is opened.
Jam protection function
If an object is detected between the moon roof and the frame while the moon
roof is closing or tilting down, travel is stopped and the moon roof opens
slightly.
Sunshade
The sunshade can be opened and closed manually. However, the sunshade
will open automatically when the moon roof is opened.
Door lock linked moon roof operation
The moon roof can be opened and closed using the mechanical key.* (P.
