I have an '06 GS300 AWD and I have a couple minor issues that I hope someone can help me with.
#1 - The default value for MPG average on this car is set for a tank-by-tank average that automatically resets after each refueling. I would like to have an option of monitoring MPG average over a longer period of time than each refueling, but cannot find anything in the owner's manual that would allow me to alter this. The dealer had no helpful answer on this. Is this the only setting for monitoring MPG other than the "old-fashioned" manual method?
#2 - I experienced an intermittent problem with the keyless entry feature. For reasons unknown to me, and at random times, I will approach my GS300 with the keyless remote in my pocket and the doors will not open when I touch the back of the door handle. This will stay that way for a couple 2 or 3 days and then, just as inexplicably, I will approach the car and it works as advertised. The only possible connection is that it seems to occur when it gets colder (below freezing).
Has anyone else experienced this?
#3 - My driver side seatbelt locked up and had to be replaced by the dealer. They intimated that this has been a reported problem with the 2006 GS models. It was a quick fix, the dealer was awesome, but I still had to go there and alter my schedule to preserve my safety. I'm passing this along in case others have experienced similar issue.
