Gs430 2005 Power Switch

[brian155]

Hi all, As title I have a GS 430 2005 Lexus and was wondering what the Power switch for the engine and the Sport switch for the gearbox do?. I'm old school and from what I remember the sport switch for the gearbox used to hold on to the gears longer up the rev range but mine changes normal no matter what mode its in. Also the power/snow button what does this supposed to do when In power mode? does it increase bhp/torque to the engine? and also I have adaptive headlights how do these work? do they turn like some citroens do or does the relevant front fog light come on as most new cars?.

Kind Regards Brian.

from what I can remember on my 05 GS 300,

Power = Opens the trottle for quick acceleration

Snow = useless button. Doesn't add any value when most needed

Not sure of the Sport mode but I guess it makes the engine sound agressive

Thanks for reply, mate like you stated power/snow button is useless not sure about sport button making it sound aggressive because there ain't any valve devices in the exhaust system to alter.

Cheers Brian.

Does the car handbook not give relevant info?
