1. With the car running set the odometer to display total vehicle miles - not to the trip odometer.

2. Shut the vehicle off.

3. With the trip odometer reset button held down, switch the vehicle to on (ie push the start button twice without your foot on the brake).

or here: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22489

"hold down the reset button in the drop down button compartment and turning the car on and off" or "That same compartment on the left that you open in order to to pop the trunk has the reset button on it. When you press it scroll to the oil change message and hit reset."

Hope this helps. Take care.

How do you change the cabin air filter on a 2006 Lexus GS430?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Open the glove box and remove all the contents. A rectangular cover at the back needs to be removed. Without putting your foot on the brake to start press the start button until the HVAC system works. Change the control from outside air to inside air. You will see a flap go up and down. The filter is behind this flap when the flap is up. Just pull it out to check it.

Take my advice here on this part replacement...... Take your ES300 into your Lexus dealer and have them replace and install. There's more to it than a "do it yourself" in the driveway repair. Genuine Lexus part cost about $200 and one hour labor. Without the proper codes fed into your car computer and proper adjustment....... A total malfunction of this parts can cause more proplems than the mer $300 to replace.

How is a regular car better than a hybrid car?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am a Hybrid technician, so I guess I can offer some input here. The question is a little strange to me, because most people ask the opposite, How is a Hybrid better than a regular car? Anyway, there are some issues to owning a hybrid that must be taken into consideration. Right now the cost of a hybrid is prohibitive. There was a study done recently by a consumer group, that calculated that in order for the hybrid to economically be feasible, gas would need to reach close to $9/gal. I don't know if that's true, but hybrids generally are more expensive than the same car in the regular gas model. Another issue is serviceability. Some shops are even afraid to change the oil on a hybrid, and honestly some shops shouldn't. While the gasoline engine part of a hybrid is the same as always, the electrical is completely different, with some areas containing voltages in the range of as much as 500 volts! Interestingly, the transmission is also part of the hybrid system, and contains high voltage. These high voltages are also a concern of rescue workers in the event of an accident. They are concerned about cutting open a vehicle to save someone, if there is a danger that the rescuer may be electrocuted. Another factor to consider is that once a hybrid is out of warranty, what will it cost to repair it? The high voltage battery, located in the rear, on a hybrid can cost over $1000.00, and requires a fork lift to remove and install. So I guess the four main areas of concern surrounding a hybrid is the initial cost, serviceability, and safety in the event of an accident, and cost of repair.

To upgrade the GPS-DVD-CD system in a 2001 Lexus GS 300 exceeds 350 dollars what other options are available and what to look for?

User Avatar

Asked by TomLunsford

The dealer is offering a "plug-and-play" solution. No wiring headaches or compatibility issues, etc. Talk to a good mobile sound system sales and installation pro and see what else is out there. There are too many options to list. With the dealer, you're upgrading. With any after-market shop, no matter how good they are, you're basically "junking out" the current system and starting over. It won't be cheap.

Why does the floor on the driver's side of my Lexus GS 300 stay wet?

It is either the drain line below the air conditioner condenser or a leaky heater core. If the water is cold it is the drain line. If the water is warm and sweet smelling it is the heater core.

How do you replace the cabin filter on 1995 Lexus GS 300?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have a 1998 Lexus GS300 so I am assuming the process will be similar. I recently changed my cabin air filter due to musty smells in the cabin interior. You gain access to the filter through the glove compartment. Under the section where the CD changer is, there should be a plastic piece towards the back of the glove box where it looks like it connects to the car. This piece should slide off if you push in and then up. Once that is off, there is another plastic door that will be exposed that also slides off, but take a little bit more pressure. It will come off, you won't break it. Once that is off, then you will see a tray that slides out of the compartment and this contains your air filter. Remove the old filter and put the new one in, then repeat the above steps in reverse. Hope this helped you.

I have a 99 GS300 and there is a lock on the left side, right above your knee that you can puch in. This will make it so the truck can not be opened, except with a key. You also need the main key to unlock the button, the valet key will not work in this lock. I hope this is helpful.

Asked by Wiki User

First, slow down to the speed limit. Have a mechanic check that your tires are balanced and are in good shape. In addition, make sure that your shocks and struts do not need replacing. In this age of a car, it may be that they are failing.
