Glare-resistant instrumentation
For optimum instrument readability even in 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.
Refreshed Interior Treatment
A redesigned facing around the EMV display, and a metallic finish on the meter faces and gear shifter face plate complements the clean, contemporary look of the GS interior.
Climate controlled seats with memory
Whatever the weather, you'll have the comfort of Climate Controlled Front seats keeping you refreshed on long hot journeys or toasty warm on cool days. The 8-way power adjustment lets you 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 by the touch of a button.
Inbuilt Bluetooth™ keeps you in touch
In the GS 300 Sports Luxury, simply register your Bluetooth™* compatible mobile with the inbuilt system for hands free communication. Call functions are right at your fingertips via the EMV screen, letting you search the phone book, register and receive calls.
You'll be directed efficiently to your destination by an advanced Satellite Navigation** system. Being a DVD based system it displays the three most efficient routes to your destination on the Electro Multi Vision (EMV) screen faster than you can unfold a paper map. You'll be guided by visual maps and spoken commands, making paper maps a thing of the past.
Rear View Camera for easier reversing
Both the GS 300 Sports and Sports Luxury models are equipped with Satellite Navigation, with the GS 300 Sports Luxury also offering you the guidance of a Rear View Camera***, discreetly mounted above the license plate. Select reverse and a colour image of what is immediately behind your rear bumper appears on the Electro Multi Vision (EMV) screen. Rear Guide Assist (RGA) gives you a more precise indication of distances, allowing the driver to line up the vehicle more precisely for easier parking and reversing.
Power rear sunshade
To reduce glare, an electric rear sunshade emerges at the touch of a button for greater passenger comfort in the Sports Luxury model.
*Bluetooth™ will only operate with telephones enabled with compatible Bluetooth™ wireless technology (HFP (Hands Free Profile) v1.0 and OPP (Object Push Profile) v1.1 international standards).
The Bluetooth™ word mark is owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
**As at 2007 the mapping database encompasses major capital and primary national road networks as well as offering some coverage of major regional centres in regional areas. Available for current model GS 300 Sports Luxury.
***Rear view camera is designed as a driver assist device only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving and safe parking practices. 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.
