I am hoping your tutorial will get me to the few things i am interested in understanding how to operate.,especially the overall 12.3 inch infotainments screens etc. This is my 3r ES over the past 30 years and my initial impressions are that it is as spectacular as i expected, if i can figure out all the gizmos!

It is the best tutorial how to use the new car, I think at the end, turning everything ON, automatic climate control and use voice control, then just drive and enjoy. Regularly check message alert for service, check fuel, heat, tire pressures, safe driving rules, wash your car weekly, clean your car daily, park in the garage, no trip to shopping centers, will be fine for a long, long time. Oh! it is so elegant however I wish the LS/ES size is made smaller and a bit higher fit with V6hybrid or V8hybrid and AWD.

Hi! I would check your Dynamic Navigation subscription in your Lexus app first. The 2021 ES uses a type of NAV called Dynamic Navigation. It's not quite cloud based nav, because it still has data on a Micro SD memory card, but it uses cloud-based overlays and connects to the DCM for time zone and state line changes. First see if you need to renew your services and if that doesn't solve it, have your service team check it out for you. Thanks for tuning in!

@NorthsideLexus4 жыл бұрын
Hi Ralph! Thanks for watching! It's tricky when you see the Range for a brand new vehicle, because it is only averaging based on a very few miles on the odometer. There are also learning mechanisms in the powertrain (it learns your octane rating, driving styles, etc.) and that impacts the fuel Range too. The range that shows on the first tank will not usually ever be duplicated as the averages become more realistic. Also, if you change fuel octanes (like going from Premium to Mid-Grade, etc.) it will take it three full tanks to make the adjustments. I hope this helps!

Hi! I believe there is a setting that can be turned off by a Technician at your Lexus dealer to disable the "remote" feature of the key fobs. It might mean you have to use the mechanical key to lock and unlock your vehicle and the emergency start procedure to start your car. (Hold the fob in front of the push button Start so the computer chip can be recognized by the vehicle.)

In the winter, when i turn on Climate Concierge, if my windshield is covered with ice/snow, will the windshield de-icer automatically turned on to melt the ice or i have to turn it on manually?
@NorthsideLexus3 жыл бұрын
Hi Aiden, Great questions. The Windshield Wiper Deicer and the Defroster features need to be accessed manually. The Climate Concierge is focused on the comfort of people inside the vehicle, so it will adjust fan speed, seat climate, etc. based on the temperature selected, but I have read about it activating other climate features. That is such a great suggestion though. If I have an opportunity to pass that along to anyone at Lexus I will mention it. Thanks for tuning in!

Hi Norman, Thanks for tuning in. Currently all of the Lexus vehicles with Apple CarPlay require the phone to be plugged in. The newest system that was announced by Lexus a couple of days ago will offer wireless car play, but it doesn't look like there will be a retrofit for our current systems. I was hoping they would announce that also, but it might not be compatible hardware. Hope this helps.

Hi Linda, The ES comes in an all gas platform theES250 and ES350. They also have an F-Sport model for the gas versions. The ES also has a hybrid the ES300h. There are a variety of packages and it is always better for you to check with your Lexus dealership for availability since I am not in Sales. Here's the link for the Lexus USA website for the ES. www.lexus.com/models/ES Hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.

Yes I know but my question was, can my 2021 ES350 can be updated to auto pilot (once auto becomes available)
@NorthsideLexus3 жыл бұрын
Hi Larry. I sure wish I had a crystal ball for that. Since the technology doesn't exist yet for the vehicles, it is not possible for me to guess if Lexus would release a retrofit update. In my 22 years with Lexus, I can tell you that there has only been a retrofit update for Apple CarPlay in the US and Android Auto in some other countries. Frequently when they make changes to technology they change hardware and software and retrofit updates are not compatible. That's the issue with not being able to do the Android Auto update in the US, for example. If they have to update hardware, they don't do it. What you'll typically see, is a model redesign that would introduce new tech, etc.

Do you have any cons on this car? My only con is the AWD option on the 6 cylinder model.......
@NorthsideLexus4 жыл бұрын
Hi @Jeff. I haven't gotten to drive the AWD version yet. We don't get a lot of AWD in my area. I think they added the option, because so many consumers ask for AWD even if they live in an area that doesn't need it. What I like most about the ES is that it is really designed to be a junior version of the LS Flagship vehicle. You get a ton of safety and technology with lots of room for a family and a very large trunk for cargo. The only thing that bugs me is the USB location for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I don't mind that the phone is plugged in, and I like the phone holder slot at the front, but I don't like that the cord can be a bit all over the place. A small complaint, for sure. What did you not like about the AWD?

Since it is a 5 seat vehicle there will not be room in-between rear passengers like you can do in an SUV that seats 7 or 8 with a third row, but if you're looking for a family sedan, It is a great choice!

On the other vehicles where Lexus has Rear controls, there is usually a "Rear" soft button the the menu for that item on the main screen at the front. There is also usually a way to lock out the back screen if there is a screen in the back. Sometimes you just push and hold on the screen for a few seconds. Just don't do it in front of the kiddos or they will instantly know how to do it them selves LOL. Check the Owner's Manual for anything about the Rear Climate or Rear Screen. If you have that feature, then you will have information about it in the manuals. Sorry I can't be of more help.

My 2020 ES 350 NAV volume is too low. How do I raise its volume ? - I usually have music playing, so if I raise the volume to hear the NAV, it also blasts the music... Is there a NAV preference just for its volume? - Most vehicles 'save' the NAV volume if you turn the hard-knob volume DURING a command...
@NorthsideLexus4 жыл бұрын
Hi y2ktube! All of the voice volumes are separate. Here are some tip that will hopefully get your settings more to your linking: 1. for NAV: Menu - Setup - Voice - Voice Volume (This will adjust the NAV volume and other Voice command volume) 2. The volume will save for each audio source (AM, FM, SAT) and will go back to the last selected volume for that source when you change sources. 3. Any app, including NAVi apps, will have their own volumes and they are first adjusted form your phone. Get the app content playing, then turn the volume all the way up on your phone, then adjust it on the car. 4. There are other volume and voice volume customizations you can play with in the settings that I mentioned before, but I recommend making the other changes first. Then explore: Menu - Setup - Voice and look through the other customizations. There is a lot more information about all of this in the NAV Owner's Manual as well and it can be found in pdf format on lexusdrivers.com at: drivers.lexus.com/t3Portal/document/omnav-s/OM06175U/pdf/OM06175U.pdf I hope this helps to answer your questions.

IS 350 or RC 350 or ES 350 which would be better?
@NorthsideLexus3 жыл бұрын
Hi Christina! Thanks for being here. SUCH a great question. They are all amazing, but very different vehicles. Here are some things to consider: - IS & RC are sports luxury vehicles with sport tuned suspension systems, sportier seats and a tighter more "cock pit" style front seat area. They will both have a zippy sporty drive feel. - The RC is a coup so if you need the back seat a lot, or big trunk space. I would look at a 4-door (IS or ES). - The ES is more of a family luxury sedan. Very open and spacious interior. Designed to be a junior version of our flagship LS vehicle. Lots of trunk room, soft quiet luxury drive feel. - The ES uses regular fuel. The IS and RC will require premium fuel. - Pricing varies depending on the powertrain and package you select. - Whichever you choose go with 2021 or newer to get the latest technology and connected services. If you are shopping pre-owned and want Apple Car Play/Android Auto make sure it is listed on the window sticker. There is not retrofit for Android Auto in the US. The IS older models are not compatible for the Apple CarPlay Retrofit in the US. The RC and ES are compatible for the Apple CarPlay retrofit in the US, but only certain year models. - See if you can test drive them back to back and make notes after each drive. Take a picture of the window sticker for each one so you can go over all of the equipment. It can all start to blend together when you're car shopping and you want to make sure your final decision has all of the features you want. I have seen a number of people who thought a feature was standard, only to realize it was part of a package they didn't select. Not fun. You want to be confident in your choice and informed about the equipment. I hope this helps! They are all amazing so you can't go wrong. Chose the one that works best for your lifestyle, budget and the one that makes you smile when you're behind the wheel! Happy shopping!
