Trivia Question just for fun.

[steve2006]

The last of the LS400s 1998-2000 gen IV) had ARS fitted as standard but what is it and what does it do.

No I haven’t missed an E off the end and it has nothing to do with the seats 😀

No prizes, just for fun and brain activity.

The only significant things I know of that are on the last of the LS400s 1998-2000 gen IV and not on previous models are the 'Automatic Light Control System', SatNav/Voice Navigation System of course and electric folder mirrors on the very last LS400's produced.

[steve2006]

One of you has actually got it correct but failed to explain part 2 of the question 😀

[Razor61]

Air Recirculating System

A function that monitors both exterior and interior air quality, automatically switching to recirculated air if exterior pollution was sensed and opening the vents if cabin humidity exceeded a predetermined level.

[steve2006]

Yea....that’s the one 😀

 

[Malc]

Oh my, such technical complexities  ........ override it all i say ....... open and close the window probably does me best 

Oh, and the sunroof  ..  isn't that why we have the automatic buttons to push ...  to give us the finger exercise maybe

how late are these "very last LS400s"? I have those on mine but I thought they were all standard for the Mk4 😮
