Majestic sunrises and sunsets are like nothing else in the world. The brilliant shades of orange and red. The flickering sun on the horizon. The glare. Yes, even
meteorological wonders have their problems. Not that the driver of the GS would ever notice, mind you. Because the faces covering the instrument panel gauges
in the GS are all part of a larger Electronic Chromatic Device (ECD) system. The system is activated by a sensor in the rear window that detects the amount of
light being projected into the cabin of the GS. In the case of a setting sun, for example, the faces automatically lower their transparency level to help reduce glare
and maintain optimal visibility. When the vehicle is off, the ECD system is inactive and the faces are 100% transparent. When the vehicle is on and the ambient
light level is low, the faces are 70% transparent. When the ECD system becomes activated by light entering the rear of the GS, the faces automatically reduce
their transparency levels to as low as 30% to reduce glare. While anticipating your needs is one component of luxury, adapting to your personal preferences
is just as important. Hence, features like dual-zone automatic climate control and heated, 10-way power-adjustable front seats with available internal ventilation.
With Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS),
8
you can tailor nearly 40 different options to your taste, from the automatic opening of the moonroof when you unlock
the doors to the volume of the remote entry beeper. And what could be more personal than a car that detects its owner’s presence? With SmartAccess

you can
operate the door locks, open the trunk and start the ignition without ever taking the key out of your pocket. Sure it’s unconventional. But, then again, so are you.
