“For the GS, we reappraised everything about how a luxury sedan looks and drives. For instance, central to the stunning L-finesse design concept is a bold spindle grille that has, quite literally, changed the face of Lexus. Then we created a rigid body, reengineered the suspension, and developed innovative stability systems for an exciting yet refined driving experience. In the cabin, we integrated various advanced technologies to provide outstanding comfort and pleasure for every drive.”

YO U R P E AC EO F M I N D
Even though the GS comes with 10 SRS
airbags, Lexus understands there is much
more to protecting you and your passengers.
It’ s not a matter of counting features, but
ensuring how they work, both independently
and in harmony.
The all-new Lexus GS is equipped with the
most technologically advanced active safety
and driver assistance systems available on any
automobile today.
Available on the GS Turbo F SPORT, GS
350 and GS Hybrid, the Head-up Display
system projects navigations directions, audio
in format ion and veh ic le speed on the
windshield in front of you, so you can spend
more time focused on the roads ahead.
Also adding to the safety features of the GS is
the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) function, which
utilises radar devices to detect overtaking
vehicles in adjacent lanes.
The true brain, however, of the GS safety
system is to be found in the Vehicle Dynamics
Integrated Management (VDIM). It oversees
everything, from braking and traction control
to Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and power
steering. This system constantly assesses road
conditions and the vehicle’ s performance,
then makes minute corrections in milliseconds
as required.

01 / Blind spot monitor
When the quasi-millimetre-wave radars in the
rear bumper detect vehicles in adjacent lanes
that aren’t visible in the door mirrors, the
system activates a warning indicator in the
relevant door mirror the moment a vehicle
enters this blind spot.
02 / Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
To assist safe reversing, RCTA uses
quas-millimeter-wave radars in the rear
bumper to detect approaching vehicles in
difficult-to-see areas behind the vehicle.
When an approaching vehicle is detected,
RCTA alerts the driver using a buzzer and
indicator in the relevant door mirror.
03 / Rear view camera with back guide
monitor
Engage reverse and the view behind the car
is shown on the display, together with
on-screen guides to help you park.*1
*1The area the cameras can show is limited. Be sure to visually check your surroundings before you proceed.
SAFETY
01 / 10 SRS airbags
The driver and front seat passenger are
protected by dual-stage SRS airbags
together with pretensioners and force
limiters of the front and outboard rear
seatbelts. The driver and front seat passen-
ger are protected by dual-stage SRS driver
airbag, dual-stage SRS front passenger
airbag, SRS knee airbags and SRS side
airbags. SRS side airbags are also available
for the outboard rear seats. SRS curtain
shield airbags cover the front and rear door
windows.*
*The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seatbelts. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seatbelts properly at all times. Never install a rear-facing CRS (Child Restraint System) on the front passenger’s seat. For a forward-facing CRS, it is recommend-ed you use it in the rear seats. Please do not use accessories for the seats which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags should inflate. Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags from activating correctly, causing serious injury (Lexus genuine seat covers are specifically designed for models equipped with the SRS side airbags. To find out about availability in your area, please inquire at your local dealer). The photo shows all the SRS airbags activated for display purposes only (the SRS side and curtain shield airbags only inflate on the side of the collision in an actual accident). For details on these and other important safety features, be sure to read the Owner’s Manual carefully.

Every Lexus is based on an uncompromising
approach to creating premium automobiles.
Inspired by our ‘Yet ’ phi losophy, we seek
innovation in every facet of engineering through a
sophisticated fusion of seemingly incompatible
ideas such as ‘high performance yet high fuel
efficiency. In addition, unique Lexus styling is born
off our L-finesse design language, a fine balance
of ‘leading-edge’ and ‘finesse’ , which ensures
every Lexus is not only captivating and luxurious,
but also highly refined. Finally, every new Lexus
model is also measured against a set of internal
s tandards cover ing des ign, per formance,
speci f icat ions and equipment, to ensure i t is
distinctive and worthy of the Lexus emblem.
This pursuit of perfection is evident at every stage of
the manufacturing process. Every Lexus vehicle is
created with a masterful skill and attention to detail
inspired by both tradi t ional ar t isanship and
state-of-the-art engineering. For example, at the
Tahara plant in Japan, precision components made
us ing lead ing-edge d ig i ta l techno logy are
assembled and finished by master craftsmen called
Takumi, whose technical expertise and sure senses
are honed by decades of rigorous experience.

There is no higher honour within the engineering

Craftsman. Each is hand-selected for performing
their craft more skillfully and artfully than the
rest. Tasked with training and instilling pride
in the thousands of engineers beneath them,
this elite group of ten oversees every aspect of
development at the Tahara plant. They think in
terms of microns. Their margin for error, even less.
Though Hirofumi Koga has a specially calibrated
machine designed to identify imperfections in the
dash, he prefers to use a far more reliable tool:
By running his gloved hand over the surface,
he can detect less than a millimetre of difference
in the uniformity of the foam underneath. And he
requires his team members be able to do the same.

our development and global leadership of hybrid
luxury vehicles, and the knowledge we have
gained is applied in al l of our vehicles. Our
commitment to recovering, recycling and re-using
is built into the DNA of our entire company. To
reduce waste to a minimum, we carefully recycle
various materials in our offices, factories, and sales
faci l i t ies, reducing CO2 levels beyond our
achievements on the road.
Specific initiatives to enhance the environment
include integrating a keen environment-friendly
focus on the entire life cycle of each vehicle, from
design and production, through to the recycling of
vehic les at the end-of- l i fe . To reduce CO2
emissions, at the design stage we specify extensive
use of plant-derived plastics for components,
instead of petroleum-derived plastics. During
production, we make repeated use of reusable
items, work hard to efficiently use resources to
minimize waste, and recycle any waste produced.
