One more thing. can one of the IS250 owner create a new thread
1) Maintenance schedule and cost.
2) Basic data about IS250 and specs.

We can pin it up for future reference for potential buyers

I've confirmed uk spec ODO meter is based on miles, not km. So if ODO meter show that the car has used for 30,000++ , u have to multiply by 1.61 = 48,000++ km, dun be fooled by the salesman that the car has only used 30,000++.

The next big question IS..are those what you see the ACTUAL mileage that was clocked during it's time in the country of origin?????
Think about it....

ikennylaw,

actually we can change the settings for the waning light on the meter. for both speed and rpm. problem is the setting part is all in japanese :(

also my AFS is off now, tried setting it to on b ut once again everything is in japanese. i downloaded the is250 users manual. should be the standard one for all, quite a number of things that can be done if everything was in english.............

even the main screen to connect bluetooth and all susah to do.

maybe all us jap specs should hire a japanese translator and spend like a couple of hours to lset and learn more about the car.

i checked with my acc shop guy and he said can change to english by changing the ECU to UK model........guess the cost.......... 13K!!!!

The red zone and orange zones are when you turn on warning for your speedo. The red zone is fixed (UK & M'sia 200kmh, JDM 120kmh). The maximum limit for orange zone is the red zone.

Same orange and red zone is available for tacho too!
