Greetings from the Netherlands, most comprehensive tutorial video I have seen on ES. Most appreciated. You should not only get recognized by other Lexus dealers in the states, but even by those in the rest of the world!
Thank you so much, I think other Lexus dealers out there owe you part of their commission because you saved the day :) I just picked up my 2020 ES 350 a couple days ago and the salesperson in my dealership just randomly went through a few things and told me to call. I love 300 miles away from the closest dealership, your video is very helpful.
Awww! You just made my day! I'm glad I could help with your 2020 ES! Congratulations! I'll show this to my boss the next time I'm shooting for a raise LOL!
I’m in New Jersey and just purchased an L/Certified 2020 ES 350. This video has been immensely helpful. 😊 Thanks for your efforts in making these videos!
Thank you for this video, this is the best tutorial of using a car I’ve seen on the internet ever I’m about to buy a 2020 es300h sports luxury (with the enhancement pack) on the used market and having this documented is so helpful For why I want to buy one: I test drove this, the Mercedes e class, Audi a6, bmw 5 series, all were high spec models and the Lexus was by far the smoothest, most comfortable, quietest, and most plush interior of the bunch. The Lexus interior designs are truely a masterpiece in terms of comfort and usability The reliability is just an additional plus for me.
This is a super helpful video, while I wait for my new car to arrive. This is a better way for me to learn, as opposed to listening while in the car with the tech specialist. At that point in the purchase process I feel tired and overwhelmed, whereas with this video I can listen at my leisure and replay as needed. And of course the social distancing advantage is much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful, Susan! You are spot on about the motivation to create this series of videos. Prior to COVID19, we always sat with a Guest in their new vehicle for at least an hour teaching the bells and whistles. I wanted to find a way to give everyone a different version of a detailed introduction. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the information, it’s very helpful. I have 2019 ES , is my car has the auto play if the side mirror as I noticed that those mirrors dose not flip in when I turn off the car.
This is the most comprehensive review I’ve ever seen. Im a car enthusiast and have both a 2019 Lexus RX Ultra Lux, as well other luxury models (Audi). Was trying to see if there was anything you may have missed in your detailed review, and must say, you got nearly everything and are very knowledgeable. Very nice!! I would only add a few items: - The center storage bin lid should swivel on both sides (Driver and Passenger side) - In addition to the radar and traffic recognition sensor behind the rear view mirror, the auto rain sensor for wipers are there too (so if your auto wipers are not working properly, that’s a good place to first check that it’s not dirty or blocked) - Your front windows and windshield are acoustic glass for noise reduction, as well as your wheels if you have that option - The windows also have jam safety feature where while rolling up automatically it detects any obstruction (like a hand or finger), the windows will automatically reverse down. (Test it with something soft like a wallet) - I didn’t see any power rear window shade?? Is this not available on the Ultra Lux ES? I know it’s available on the Limited Avalon.
Hi GHN1013 Awesome ideas and great catch on the front arm rest! It does indeed open on both sides. (Insert face palm emoji here;) The rear door sunshades are an option on the ES, but are not always easy to get in our area. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a vehicle with them. They are a wonderful detail. This was the second full tutorial video I did after the virus changed how we teach our Guests at the dealership. I'll keep working on adding as many details as possible. Hopefully they will just get better and better. I'm so glad to be able to help so many people. Maybe TH-cam will add a feature where I can add notes on the existing videos for things like the arm rest? That would be so cool! Thanks again!
Northside Lexus - You can always add updated notes to your description section, and I think you can take your existing video and add pop up text notes (but I think you may have to add the text outside TH-cam and re-upload). But keep up the great work. I really think it’s one of the best car video reviews out there.
If I lived in ATL I definitely know where I would be buying my next Lexus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with the community. I am sure I'll be referencing this in the future.
Thanks so much, Matthew! We're actually in Texas? Any chance that's where you are too? We love it when our TH-cam fans shop with us! Always an extra treat! Thanks so much for tuning in!
Great video, thanks a lot! It was nice to take a tour with you while I'm waiting for my car to arrive. I'll receive my ES in a week and now I know most of the menus and features already.
@@dietrichcleijne2715 Thanks very much, Dietrich! We've gone global ;) I'm very happy to help. I know not all features and powertrains are the same, but hopefully most of the content carries over and can help!
Very informartive and detail video, but I bet you don't know that you can remote start your ES using the keyfob, if your remote enform 1-year subscription trial ended :))
Hi @@julyzerg1, depending on your model year, that is correct. The app used to be required for the connection to function. But with Gen 10 and newer models that feature is possible. The key fob remote start has the limitation of distance and none of the other Enform features, but it is nice to be able to do in the heat of the summer or on cold winter mornings.
3:30 if you hold the driver's door handle for 3 seconds, it will unlock all doors after unlocking the driver's door. But if you're approaching from the rear it's quicker to put your hand on the rear door handle to unlock everything as you're getting to the driver's door.
I have a 2013 ES350 with only 36k miles ... it’s the BEST car ive ever owned and ive owned 20 cars since I’m 17 years old, I’m 56 now.... I only watched about the first 5 minutes, but what ive seen so far looks like a great video....A lot of these features are similar to my 2013. ONe thing about closing the trunk, there is a manual pull down handle inside the trunk lid.. I use it all the time since mine doesn’t have electronic trunk closing feature
That's awesome Stephen! A 2013 ES with only 36K miles! Sounds like a dream car! My Lexus has a manual trunk also and I love the interior handle to close the trunk. Makes it so easy. Thanks so much checking out the channel and the sweet comment :)
Awww, thanks so much @Emmanuel :) I know I can't make everyone happy all the time and I have lot of short tech tip videos that they may like more, but it is never fun to see those dislikes when you work hard to help. But sweet comments like yours make it all worth while! Thanks again!
Absolutely great tutorial. The touch pad doesn't look a awful as many car reviewers have said. Can you change the sensitivity of the touch pad to movement? Sorry if I missed this.
Thanks so much for watching! You are spot on about the Touch Pad. It has come a long way in just a few generations. They are highly customizable in the Setup Menu. I like to turn the Feedback Force down to nothing, because I don't like the popping sensation. Some people love it though, because it indicates a clickable surface. You can also speed up and slow down the cursor, depending on what works better for you. Hope this helps!
Hi Christopher, Thanks for watching! If you have a power trunk it will be able to open and close form the key fob. There is not a close function on the key fob for a manual trunk, just the pop open feature. The key fob can be programmed at your Lexus Service Department to power open the windows and moon room, but there is not a power close feature from the fob. The Lexus App with Enform Remote will tell you if your windows or trunk are left open, but you can not open/close them from the phone app. Just unlock. I hope this is the info you needed. Thanks so much :)
Thanks a ton for this video. I just bought this car "used". Sadly, I assumed it came with GPS but I guess it does not come with it? Or am I not pushing the right button? I don't know. Most likely, mine didn't come with GPS. But this video is very informative. Stay safe, well, Happy and beautiful. I'll watch it again soon since I can't remember it all. LOL
Hi! Thanks for being here. I'm so glad the video has been helpful for you. The 2020 ES comes standard with Apple CarPlay and most models built after October 2019 also came with Android Auto. I would highly recommend using the NAV apps from your phone for navigation. They are a great integration with the vehicle!
Hi! If you aren't seeing Spotify in your Apple CarPlay menu, nake sure to check the app on your phone. You might need to update the app, give a new permission, or just sign back in. All compatible apps on your phone will show on the apps menu on the car screen, unless you have customized the screen to hide them. Here are a couple of my short tutorials about Apple CarPlay that you may like: th-cam.com/video/Yatf9H11jQM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mpSOpZVFep4/w-d-xo.html 👍Thanks for being here!
This is very useful . How do you adjust the time on the clock when time changes for winter/summer by one hour? The clock did not adjust itself automatically.
Hi @Salman. Thanks so much for watching. Check at 1:11:31 for more Clock information. If you have a NAV vehicle with the Auto featured turned on for Daylight Saving then it will change depending on when your area is setup for that change. Daylight Saving end in the US this Saturday evening. If you have a non-NAV car, then just click on Daylight Saving to make the change. Hope this helps :)
Hello...Many thanks for your prompt response. I am in London UK and have an ES300h 2020. Our time changed last Sunday to winter time and clocks went back by one hour but the clocks in my car did not change time. The car manual says it should have adjusted automatically but it did not. How do I fix it? Thanks
@@SalmanKhan-xt7wj If none of those settings work, switch to manual operation until you can visit your dealer to see if they need to resync your clock. Hope this helps.
Hi @tectorama, I'm sorry I don't have a separate video for the ES300h. I have a deep dive tutorial for the 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 model ESs, but not a separate one each powertrain. I usually do a separate section toward the end about the hybrid though. Hopefully that will help. Thanks very much for being here!
Hi! Great to see you're enjoying the videos! I haven't seen a setting for the headlights to always come on when you unlock the car, but you should have indicator lights flash and some interior and exterior lighting should come on at night. Make sure you have the dome lights set to Door mode. You could also go through the Vehicle Customization settings for the lights and see if there is something that might get closer to the setting you prefer. See if this one is helpful: th-cam.com/video/Xtiip8c7MXc/w-d-xo.html Let me know how it goes. Thanks again for all of your support!
I posted a previous comment mentioning what a great tutorial this is! That being said, there is almost nothing on TH-cam explaining how the lateral performance dampers work and what benefits they offer? Of course, the dampers are available on the F-sport and Ultra Luxury model. Would you be kind enough to put something together? It would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi @SGriffin597! Thanks again for being here and for the great video suggestion. I'm working on the 2021 full tutorial videos, but have added your request to my list. I'll do some research for you and make sure I can explain it well. This will be fun! Thanks so much and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
thank you so much , its very informative , please take a chance to make another tutorial video on ES 350 F Sport and the differences between the F sport and the regular ES 350 the lady in the video is so adorable please say hi for me :D thanks again
Thank you for such an informative video... Something I have always wondered about is there a way to change the default startup for the from GPS/Map to Phone and Radio?
Hi! Glad you're here. It is very common for the Map to come up by default, especially if you were on a phone call when you turn the vehicle off. Try turning off the Auto Screen Change feature in the General Setup menu, then press the Radio button to open the audio system on screen. That should help in many cases, but it will only apply to the Radio screen. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!
Sorry to bother you but I have a question. To turn the traction back on I just press the button again? and as long as its off the pop up won’t go away right?
Hi! Sorry for the delay. When you push the Traction Control button again and the message about "Trac Off" goes away you are turning Traction Control back on. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Luxur Review, the calendar feature is no longer on the vehicle since most Lexus vehicles have Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and the calendar app on the phone can be operated by your phone's mobile assistant mor efficiently. There is still a service menu on the vehicle. It is more robust on NAV package cars, but most people prefer to us the Vehicle Health Report in the Lexus App. It is part of the Service Connect feature. The Notes feature is gone, but you can use your phone's assistant to make notes in your Notes app as well. Many of the older features like these have been replaced by more advanced phone capabilities :) Gott love technology!
Noted that you showed us how save a preset radio station... Can you please also show how to remove one? Also my 2019 ES 350 has apple carplay but not android auto... Any idea how to get an update that has android auto? Your help is much appreciated. Triet.
Hi Triet, you can't remove a radio preset, just overwrite what is in that spot. Get your new station playing and then save it in the spot you want and it will replace the old saved station. For that year model only Apple CarPlay was available. Unfortunately that is not a retrofit for Android Auto in the US. 👍
@@sugarbear1225 I'm so sorry your comment was missed. As Jerrl mentioned, retractable mirrors were added. Also, on those built after Oct 2019: Android Auto , WiFi from AT&T and the Enform trial periods were changed. Hope this helps.
I hear ya and totally agree. When the hard buttons it is definitely more convenient. In our area we don't turn the AC compressor off much, if ever, because of the humidity. Even in the winter the compressor is on to "condition" the air. But in areas with less humidity, I know people like to be able to turn it off and you really have to do a lot of clicking to get there. Sorry I don't have a work around for you.
a most helpful & informative video. this poured fuel on my lust. thanks for that! a couple questions/observations..... 1:50 ... Lexus has announced the ENFORM app is ending. they *HAVE NOT* announced any plans to rescue deserted Lexus owners. 30:30 *TPWS* is _not_ an acronym. an ACRONYM is an abbreviation which can be _pronounced_ as a word. such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving... MADD. TPWS is an abbreviation, but it cannot be pronounced as a word. therefore, it is NOT an acronym.
Hi. Thanks for watching and for the grammar lesson. Always happy to learn and have a good note. To correct you on your Enform update. The Enform App Suite 2.0 and the Lexus Enform Remote App content have been moved into the Lexus App. The compatible content is still there, but in a new location. Lexus owners will only need to have the one Lexus app instead of multiple apps. You are looking at a video that was made before those announcements. Videos made after the announcement have the newest information. This was also mentioned in the video about Apple Watches having issues syncing after the update.
@@googoo-gjoob You are talking about the cellular companies shutting down 2 and 3G. That will impact Enform services on older model vehicles not the 2020 ES. It is a 4G vehicle. This shutdown will impact any device, including phone, cars, etc., that have DCMs and connected services that use 2 or 3G. It is beyond the control of Lexus and Toyota and there is not a hardware retrofit that is available. So two years from now those vehicles will not have the ability for Enform services that require a cellular connection. Since you were commenting about the Enform App on a video about the 2020 ES, I thought you were discussing the latest updates to the Enform app. It was not clear that you were pointing out the announcement about telecommunications companies turning off 3G. Hopefully this clarifies things for you. If you have any feedback for Lexus corporate, I would recommend reaching out to them at 1-800-255-3987, since I am with a dealership in Houston and can't get your feedback very far up the ladder.
Hi Abdullrhman, There is not an accessible setting for turning that message off. A Technician at your Lexus dealership might be able to do it, but I'm sure there are legal and safety details about why they don't permit it. When it shows "Airbag Off" it means weight is not detected in the front passenger seat. When it shows "Airbag On" it means weight/a person is detected. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!
I just notice an X enclosed in a square on the upper right corner of the screen when I move into the garage when the beeping starts. Do you know what that is?
Hi. Yes, that is a mute button for the beeping from the Parking Sensors. You can click on the X and still have the visual, but mute the audible alert. Thanks for checking in!
So glad you love the video! If the lights flash and the horn sounds that indicated that your alarm has been triggered. Just press the lock button the key fob to turn it off. Then you can press the unlock button and open the vehicle. Hope fully this helps your situation. Let me know if you have any other questions. All the best!
@@NorthsideLexus i feel its more of a technical problem this keeps happening when there is no one or any movement around the car. This has happened around 7 times now it flashes and the horn plays for 2 mins and goes off on it own. I would appreciate some technical advise on this matter if possible by you. Thank you for the prompt reply. Also if you can do a video of how to change the tire of the car and start the car with a physical key if that is possible.
Hi @@mehernoshkhajotia6881 Thanks for following up. I would recommend talking with a Technician at your Lexus dealership. I'm Master Certified as a Lexus Technology Specialist and am not able to diagnose an issue like you are describing. I love the idea of a tire changing video. I'll add that to my list of requested videos. I do have a video about using the mechanical key. It's part of this video: th-cam.com/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/w-d-xo.html Hope you like it.
I just bought a 2020 es 350 (Base Trim I think) but my touch screen doesn’t look like yours. Do I need to update it or my trim level is too low? Also how do I remove a device from my cars Bluetooth
Hi! If you have a non-NAV base trim ES, you will have a different screen, but the setup for the Bluetooth pairing on the phone should be very similar. Menu > Setup > Bluetooth and follow the steps to remove any old phones and then add your phone. :)
Hi, I have 2015 NX200T and have 3 hates about it. The mouse control infotainment screen(so I never use it at all), the single reverse light and the unadjustable back and forth headrest. I like the new ES look, does it have those annoying things?
Hi Danh, Sorry to hear that you aren't enjoying your 2015 NX. If you are comparing it to the 2020 ES it will be very different. Addressing your concerns: 1. They both use a touch pad to control the screen, but the new touch pad is much more customization, larger and easier to use. 2. The tails lights are completely different. 3. The ES headrests are manually adjustable up and down. I would recommend that you connect with a sales person to get more accurate information for your area. I am certified to teach Lexus technology, but I do not work with the builds of the vehicles. Thanks for watching. All the best :)
One more question, when I first got the car, the high beam has auto turnoff when it see other cars headlight. Then it stopped and I cannot figure out how to turn the auto on again. Please tell me what I did wrong?
No worries. The Automatic high beams are controlled by pressing the button at the end of the headlamp stalk. Then move the stalk forward into the "high beam on" position and the car will control them automatically. Here's the section in the video for 15:36 Headlamp Controls to demonstrate. Thanks for tuning in with us!
Hi Sarah, For the 2020 ES: Check the dial in-between the rear air vents to make sure they are open. Also select face & feat for the Air Flow mode and that will direct air to the lower vents. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking in.
Hello. I have the 2019 ES300H. You stated in this video that the soft press of the turn signal causes the turn signal to blink a certain number of times, and that it is customizable. I read through the manual and there's no indication that it's customizable. Just 3 blinks and that's it. No other option. Is the customize feature new for 2020?
Hi @Jerry. The Lane Change setting is customizable at your Lexus dealership. It requires a Tech to use a computer to make this change. Check out the online version of your Lexus Personalized Settings here: drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drivers-lscs-theme/PDF/services/2019/2019_ES350_LPS_v3.pdf It should be #46. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching.
I have a serious question about the gas mileage on the 2020 ES 350. I’ve had the car for about 4 months and my take only fills up to 12-12.4gal the MTE indicated 250mi-260mi max. Never has it past 300mi. I need answers because I took it to the dealership with my concern and their answer sounded like BS to me. Im filling up like every 4 days 🤨 and 90% of the time I am on Eco mode. Make it make sense to me.
Hi Paulino. I'm happy to try to help. There are multiple factors with MPG. Here are some things to consider: 1. Did the car have a previous owner? The car has learned their octane rating history and their driving habits and it has adjusted to all of that information. 2. Even though the 2020 ES can use Regular fuel, I would do three tanks in a row of Premium (that's the fuel that is frequently used for testing in research for the numbers you see on the window sticker. (It will tell you in the Owner's Manual as well. If you need to double check it.) Three full tanks will give the learning components on the car time to reset to the new octane and your driving habits. Take notes about your current MPG. Then reset your MPG calculations in the MID so that the Average after Reset reads 0. Then you will be able to start fresh while you do your research. Typically using Premium fuel allows you to get more miles per tank. 3. If you press hard on the gas and fight the eco function of Eco mode you may be using even more gas than you realize. Consider changing to Normal mode and see if you that feels better to drive light on the gas and light on the brake. 4. Check your tire pressure. Proper tire inflation helps with fuel economy. 5. Extra cargo can add weight, which can reduce fuel economy as well. I hope this helps :)
Hi M B, On the ES this feature is customized at your Lexus dealership by a Technician. Here's the pdf of all of the items that can be customized. The feature you're looking for is listed as #45 drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drivers-lscs-theme/PDF/services/2020/20ES350.pdf All the best!
@@VP48 I wish all of the customizations could be made in the vehicle. They keep adding more and more capabilities, but not all of them are there yet. All dealerships handle charging in different way. Usually if you are there for a regular service they won't charge extra to do this, but it may be different at your dealership. I can't speak to the practices at each store. I would call your dealership and ask if it can be done for free when you have a service done. Maybe that will help.
i bought this car last week ... to my b-day ... i have problem with driver´s seat memory storing ... i did it same way, but driver´s seat is not stored, wheel change position correctly, as was set, but seat is still not moving ... i stored 2 different driver´s positions into 1 and 3 ... this must be something wrong or? ... i did it correctly, but still the same ... so i think must go to diagnostics ... or where could be a problem?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like your seat may need to be recalibrated. When you move the seat doe it beep while you are making the adjustment? Also, when you press "Set" and then the number do you hear one single beep? Here's how to do a recalibration. You are basically moving each possible position to the max in each direction. So for every possible adjustment go all the way that direction, hold for 3 seconds, go all the way the opposite direction, hold for three seconds. For example: go all the way forward, hold for 3 seconds, go all the back, hold for 3 seconds. Then repeat for all possible adjustments. I have also seen this document that does it differently. Hopefully one of these procedures will help: static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10145738-9999.pdf
@@NorthsideLexus don´t worry ... i picked up my car directly on my b-day as i wanted to pick up ... problem was fixed in authorised service today ... i had some activity there, so chief of the service made it in just few minutes ... i will keep your link for the future, because they told me, that from time to time this car could reset all the stored positions ... i will be prepared for the future ... many thanks fom your advice ... i am writing from the other side of the World ... i found your tutorial videos, they are very usefull ... once again ... big thank you
Hi Kolohe! Yes, the ES is designed to use Regular fuel or 87 octane. The Owner's Manual notes that 95 octane was the research octane. So you can always use Premium fuel. It will end up giving you more miles per tank. If you change fuel, it is a good idea to give it three full tanks of fuel to allow the system to learn the new rating and adjust the calculations for you. Hope this helps.
Hello thank you for your information. I have lexus es 350 2020 but my car doesn't have kick sistem and no rim lock ???!@! Can you tell me why Thanks again Daryoush
Hi, Daryoush, The Kick Sensor and Wheel Lock sets are available options and is not on all ESs. It would depend on the package that came on the vehicle you purchased. Wheel lock sets can be installed after purchase at your Lexus dealer, but the Kick Sensor is only installed at the factory. Check the window sticker for all of the equipment on your ES for more details. I hope this helps. Thanks very much for checking in with me.
Thank you for your answer. Just one more thing I forget to ask my es 350 2020 dosnt have trank key from inside my trunk also.?? And why the car from same year have to be different.??? I wish you all the best and thank you.
@@daryoushb110 I know there were some years and some packages that did not include a locking pass through from the back seat to the trunk. Is that what you mean? I know it can confusing when there are different packages and cars are built differently in different parts of the world also. I only have access to vehicles built for the US market. I hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus I buy my car from key lexus in los angels.. my point is for closing trunk there is some button you press it and trunk closed . Button is near to trunk luck.
@@daryoushb110 I see. The button to close the trunk is for models with the power trunk option. If you have a power trunk, you will see the power trunk close button on the left hand side. I hope this helps. Thanks again.
14:30 "So the rule now is every 5,000 miles or every six months you should bring your Lexus vehicle in for service." Who made that "rule"? The Lexus service center that wants my money? If I'm not driving much -- or at all -- why do I constantly need to bring in a car that you sell as one of the most reliable in the world?
Hi @Bigwave2003, vehicles with full synthetic oil only require an oil change every 10,000 miles. The Owner's Manual states that the vehicle should be serviced every 5,000 miles or six months, which ever comes first, for tire rotations, fluid top offs, filter checks, etc. Vehicles used to require much more frequent maintenance, so guess I'm confused by your questions. Most people are happy to have these longer intervals between maintenance. If you have a question about your Lexus, I'm happy to try to help.

LOL! I actually was! But only for a year at a tiny school and the school closed when the owner moved. So I changed careers. You can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you apparently can't take the "teacher" out of the teacher! LOL! Thanks for tuning in with me!
Typically the 2020 ES is recommended to use Regular fuel. However, it is always best to look in the Fuel section of your Owner's Manual to confirm what fuel was used for testing and what fuel is recommended or required for your year and model Lexus. Thanks for checking in.
That's awesome that your head unit is compatible for DVDs also. Not all Lexus radio/head units have DVD compatibility. Some are CD only, some are DVD audio only, and some have full compatibility and will show video on the main screen when the vehicle is in Park and the Emergency Brake is applied. Thanks for tuning in with us.
Oh my goodness. I probably sound like a chipmunk at that speed 😂 I know it is a long tutorial. Hopefully the chapter Index helps 😊 Thanks for tuning in with us.
Just don't make me sound even more like a chipmunk ROFLOL! Thanks for tuning in! Also, don't forget to use the Index to jump through faster. Hope this helps :)
Hi Bassem. The Deep Dive tutorials are full lessons on the vehicles for our new Lexus owners. If you prefer shorter videos for your Lexus, you might like the Tech Tip Tuesday videos better.
You've put gigantic effort into this tutorial. Great job.
Thank you so much for your kind support! So glad you're here!
Best Lexus walk around I have ever seen. Phenomenal job.
Wow! Thank you so much, Isaac! I'm so glad you liked it!
This video is better than having a owners manual great job 👏
Thanks so much for your support! 👍
Just bought my ES 300h. Very helpful. Best tutorial I have ever seen on car functions.
Wow, thanks so much! Congratulations on your new ES! I'm so glad I could help you learn more about it.
Hey , how much mileage do u get on ur 300h?
Greetings from the Netherlands, most comprehensive tutorial video I have seen on ES. Most appreciated. You should not only get recognized by other Lexus dealers in the states, but even by those in the rest of the world!
That's awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in with me all the way from the Netherlands! I'm so happy to help with your ES! Thanks again for being here!
Thank you so much, I think other Lexus dealers out there owe you part of their commission because you saved the day :) I just picked up my 2020 ES 350 a couple days ago and the salesperson in my dealership just randomly went through a few things and told me to call. I love 300 miles away from the closest dealership, your video is very helpful.
Awww! You just made my day! I'm glad I could help with your 2020 ES! Congratulations! I'll show this to my boss the next time I'm shooting for a raise LOL!
@@NorthsideLexus Man this lady is so awesome. I learned so many things about my car from her video.
@@DDR88767 Thanks so much, SAZ Raz! You've made my day!
I’m in New Jersey and just purchased an L/Certified 2020 ES 350. This video has been immensely helpful. 😊 Thanks for your efforts in making these videos!
Thanks so much! Congratulations on your ES 350! I hope this will help you learn a lot about it! very glad to have you here!
Thank you for this video, this is the best tutorial of using a car I’ve seen on the internet ever
I’m about to buy a 2020 es300h sports luxury (with the enhancement pack) on the used market and having this documented is so helpful
For why I want to buy one:
I test drove this, the Mercedes e class, Audi a6, bmw 5 series, all were high spec models and the Lexus was by far the smoothest, most comfortable, quietest, and most plush interior of the bunch. The Lexus interior designs are truely a masterpiece in terms of comfort and usability
The reliability is just an additional plus for me.
Thanks for your kind words about the video! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I agree about the Lexus ES being a great car. You'll really enjoy it.
Finally, the complete video tutorial we've been looking for after months of winging it.
Always better than fumbling through the book. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! I'm so happy to help!
@@NorthsideLexus Suggestion: Sound like my "high school teacher" instead of my "2nd grade" teacher. 😊
This is a super helpful video, while I wait for my new car to arrive. This is a better way for me to learn, as opposed to listening while in the car with the tech specialist. At that point in the purchase process I feel tired and overwhelmed, whereas with this video I can listen at my leisure and replay as needed. And of course the social distancing advantage is much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful, Susan! You are spot on about the motivation to create this series of videos. Prior to COVID19, we always sat with a Guest in their new vehicle for at least an hour teaching the bells and whistles. I wanted to find a way to give everyone a different version of a detailed introduction. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the information, it’s very helpful. I have 2019 ES , is my car has the auto play if the side mirror as I noticed that those mirrors dose not flip in when I turn off the car.
just bought a used 2020 es 300h - Might be the best car I've ever owned. This is an extremely helpful video. thanks for posting

Ditto all these other comments. I just bought a 2020 ES and loving this detailed video to help get me over the learning curve!

This is the most comprehensive review I’ve ever seen. Im a car enthusiast and have both a 2019 Lexus RX Ultra Lux, as well other luxury models (Audi). Was trying to see if there was anything you may have missed in your detailed review, and must say, you got nearly everything and are very knowledgeable. Very nice!! I would only add a few items:
- The center storage bin lid should swivel on both sides (Driver and Passenger side)
- In addition to the radar and traffic recognition sensor behind the rear view mirror, the auto rain sensor for wipers are there too (so if your auto wipers are not working properly, that’s a good place to first check that it’s not dirty or blocked)
- Your front windows and windshield are acoustic glass for noise reduction, as well as your wheels if you have that option
- The windows also have jam safety feature where while rolling up automatically it detects any obstruction (like a hand or finger), the windows will automatically reverse down. (Test it with something soft like a wallet)
- I didn’t see any power rear window shade?? Is this not available on the Ultra Lux ES? I know it’s available on the Limited Avalon.
Hi GHN1013 Awesome ideas and great catch on the front arm rest! It does indeed open on both sides. (Insert face palm emoji here;) The rear door sunshades are an option on the ES, but are not always easy to get in our area. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a vehicle with them. They are a wonderful detail. This was the second full tutorial video I did after the virus changed how we teach our Guests at the dealership. I'll keep working on adding as many details as possible. Hopefully they will just get better and better. I'm so glad to be able to help so many people. Maybe TH-cam will add a feature where I can add notes on the existing videos for things like the arm rest? That would be so cool! Thanks again!
Northside Lexus - You can always add updated notes to your description section, and I think you can take your existing video and add pop up text notes (but I think you may have to add the text outside TH-cam and re-upload). But keep up the great work. I really think it’s one of the best car video reviews out there.
Thanks for pointing out additional instructions, this is very helpful, and thanks again Northside Lexus!
If I lived in ATL I definitely know where I would be buying my next Lexus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with the community. I am sure I'll be referencing this in the future.
Thanks so much, Matthew! We're actually in Texas? Any chance that's where you are too? We love it when our TH-cam fans shop with us! Always an extra treat! Thanks so much for tuning in!

Excellent video. I have a 2019 ES and you taught me a lot of things that I didn’t know about it.
Great to hear that, Jerrl! Thanks so much for watching!
Very informartive and detail video, but I bet you don't know that you can remote start your ES using the keyfob, if your remote enform 1-year subscription trial ended :))
Hi @@julyzerg1, depending on your model year, that is correct. The app used to be required for the connection to function. But with Gen 10 and newer models that feature is possible. The key fob remote start has the limitation of distance and none of the other Enform features, but it is nice to be able to do in the heat of the summer or on cold winter mornings.
Northside Lexus correct, I forgot to mention that if I recall correctly all es made from Oct. 2018 can do it
Same here a f sport, the dealer just really don’t explain anything like they use to. I guess they only care about getting the sale now.
Your video is very helpful! Sure beats a user manual!
So glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

3:30 if you hold the driver's door handle for 3 seconds, it will unlock all doors after unlocking the driver's door. But if you're approaching from the rear it's quicker to put your hand on the rear door handle to unlock everything as you're getting to the driver's door.
These tips work for many Lexus models now. Hope it works for you as well. Thanks for being here!

I have a 2013 ES350 with only 36k miles ... it’s the BEST car ive ever owned and ive owned 20 cars since I’m 17 years old, I’m 56 now.... I only watched about the first 5 minutes, but what ive seen so far looks like a great video....A lot of these features are similar to my 2013. ONe thing about closing the trunk, there is a manual pull down handle inside the trunk lid.. I use it all the time since mine doesn’t have electronic trunk closing feature
That's awesome Stephen! A 2013 ES with only 36K miles! Sounds like a dream car! My Lexus has a manual trunk also and I love the interior handle to close the trunk. Makes it so easy. Thanks so much checking out the channel and the sweet comment :)

Thanks it’s very informative
Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely great tutorial. The touch pad doesn't look a awful as many car reviewers have said. Can you change the sensitivity of the touch pad to movement? Sorry if I missed this.
Thanks so much for watching! You are spot on about the Touch Pad. It has come a long way in just a few generations. They are highly customizable in the Setup Menu. I like to turn the Feedback Force down to nothing, because I don't like the popping sensation. Some people love it though, because it indicates a clickable surface. You can also speed up and slow down the cursor, depending on what works better for you. Hope this helps!
Thank you. This was VERY helpful.

Thanks!
Would you please go over in detail the setup specially “lights? “
Great video, thank you. Is there a way to close the trunk from the remote or open/close all windows from the remote?
Hi Christopher, Thanks for watching! If you have a power trunk it will be able to open and close form the key fob. There is not a close function on the key fob for a manual trunk, just the pop open feature. The key fob can be programmed at your Lexus Service Department to power open the windows and moon room, but there is not a power close feature from the fob. The Lexus App with Enform Remote will tell you if your windows or trunk are left open, but you can not open/close them from the phone app. Just unlock. I hope this is the info you needed. Thanks so much :)
Such a cool car
Definitely! The ES is like a junior version of the flagship LS, such a great choice!
Thanks for your suggestions.. I will do the suggested steps. Thanks again.
You bet! I hope it works for you :)
Thanks a ton for this video.
I just bought this car "used".
Sadly, I assumed it came with GPS but I guess it does not come with it?
Or am I not pushing the right button? I don't know.
Most likely, mine didn't come with GPS.
But this video is very informative.
Stay safe, well, Happy and beautiful.
I'll watch it again soon since I can't remember it all. LOL
Hi! Thanks for being here. I'm so glad the video has been helpful for you. The 2020 ES comes standard with Apple CarPlay and most models built after October 2019 also came with Android Auto. I would highly recommend using the NAV apps from your phone for navigation. They are a great integration with the vehicle!
This is great! Learned so much. Why cant i see Spotify in menu like i see APPLE music etc?
Hi! If you aren't seeing Spotify in your Apple CarPlay menu, nake sure to check the app on your phone. You might need to update the app, give a new permission, or just sign back in. All compatible apps on your phone will show on the apps menu on the car screen, unless you have customized the screen to hide them. Here are a couple of my short tutorials about Apple CarPlay that you may like: th-cam.com/video/Yatf9H11jQM/w-d-xo.html

How do you adjust the time on the clock when time changes for winter/summer by one hour? The clock did not adjust itself automatically.
Hi @Salman. Thanks so much for watching. Check at 1:11:31 for more Clock information. If you have a NAV vehicle with the Auto featured turned on for Daylight Saving then it will change depending on when your area is setup for that change. Daylight Saving end in the US this Saturday evening. If you have a non-NAV car, then just click on Daylight Saving to make the change. Hope this helps :)
Hello...Many thanks for your prompt response. I am in London UK and have an ES300h 2020. Our time changed last Sunday to winter time and clocks went back by one hour but the clocks in my car did not change time. The car manual says it should have adjusted automatically but it did not. How do I fix it? Thanks
@@SalmanKhan-xt7wj Sorry to hear that. Do you have a Navigation version?
@@SalmanKhan-xt7wj Check the time zone and make sure Auto Adjust by GPS is also turned on.
@@SalmanKhan-xt7wj If none of those settings work, switch to manual operation until you can visit your dealer to see if they need to resync your clock. Hope this helps.
Very good video, do you also cover the ES300h ? A lot will be similar to this, but with a few variations.
Hi @tectorama, I'm sorry I don't have a separate video for the ES300h. I have a deep dive tutorial for the 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 model ESs, but not a separate one each powertrain. I usually do a separate section toward the end about the hybrid though. Hopefully that will help. Thanks very much for being here!
Hello again "OG" Melissa..
One more question for you. Whats the setting for turning on your headlights when you unlock your car?
Hi! Great to see you're enjoying the videos! I haven't seen a setting for the headlights to always come on when you unlock the car, but you should have indicator lights flash and some interior and exterior lighting should come on at night. Make sure you have the dome lights set to Door mode. You could also go through the Vehicle Customization settings for the lights and see if there is something that might get closer to the setting you prefer. See if this one is helpful: th-cam.com/video/Xtiip8c7MXc/w-d-xo.html Let me know how it goes. Thanks again for all of your support!
I posted a previous comment mentioning what a great tutorial this is! That being said, there is almost nothing on TH-cam explaining how the lateral performance dampers work and what benefits they offer? Of course, the dampers are available on the F-sport and Ultra Luxury model. Would you be kind enough to put something together? It would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi @SGriffin597! Thanks again for being here and for the great video suggestion. I'm working on the 2021 full tutorial videos, but have added your request to my list. I'll do some research for you and make sure I can explain it well. This will be fun! Thanks so much and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Outstanding! I’m sure you’ll produce an outstanding tutorial!
thank you so much , its very informative , please take a chance to make another tutorial video on ES 350 F Sport and the differences between the F sport and the regular ES 350
the lady in the video is so adorable please say hi for me :D
thanks again
That's a great suggestion. I'll see if I can work that one into my list. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for such an informative video... Something I have always wondered about is there a way to change the default startup for the from GPS/Map to Phone and Radio?
Hi! Glad you're here. It is very common for the Map to come up by default, especially if you were on a phone call when you turn the vehicle off. Try turning off the Auto Screen Change feature in the General Setup menu, then press the Radio button to open the audio system on screen. That should help in many cases, but it will only apply to the Radio screen. I hope this helps. Thanks for being here!
Sorry to bother you but I have a question. To turn the traction back on I just press the button again? and as long as its off the pop up won’t go away right?
Hi! Sorry for the delay. When you push the Traction Control button again and the message about "Trac Off" goes away you are turning Traction Control back on. Thanks so much for watching!
I know older Lexus like the ES330 had a calendar, service menu and maybe even notes 😂 Does this have those features?
Hi Luxur Review, the calendar feature is no longer on the vehicle since most Lexus vehicles have Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and the calendar app on the phone can be operated by your phone's mobile assistant mor efficiently. There is still a service menu on the vehicle. It is more robust on NAV package cars, but most people prefer to us the Vehicle Health Report in the Lexus App. It is part of the Service Connect feature. The Notes feature is gone, but you can use your phone's assistant to make notes in your Notes app as well. Many of the older features like these have been replaced by more advanced phone capabilities :) Gott love technology!
Noted that you showed us how save a preset radio station... Can you please also show how to remove one? Also my 2019 ES 350 has apple carplay but not android auto... Any idea how to get an update that has android auto? Your help is much appreciated.
Triet.
Hi Triet, you can't remove a radio preset, just overwrite what is in that spot. Get your new station playing and then save it in the spot you want and it will replace the old saved station. For that year model only Apple CarPlay was available. Unfortunately that is not a retrofit for Android Auto in the US. 👍
Excellent detailed review 👍 can't wait to get mine😁

Thanks so much for tuning in with me, @Ngali!
Great car, just wished there was a hard button for AC instead of going into the menu. Somtimes I want fresh air without AC.
I hear ya and totally agree. When the hard buttons it is definitely more convenient. In our area we don't turn the AC compressor off much, if ever, because of the humidity. Even in the winter the compressor is on to "condition" the air. But in areas with less humidity, I know people like to be able to turn it off and you really have to do a lot of clicking to get there. Sorry I don't have a work around for you.
a most helpful & informative video. this poured fuel on my lust. thanks for that!
a couple questions/observations.....
1:50 ... Lexus has announced the ENFORM app is ending.
they *HAVE NOT* announced any plans to rescue deserted Lexus owners.
30:30 *TPWS* is _not_ an acronym. an ACRONYM is an abbreviation which can be _pronounced_ as a word.
such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving... MADD. TPWS is an abbreviation, but it cannot be pronounced as a word.
therefore, it is NOT an acronym.
Hi. Thanks for watching and for the grammar lesson. Always happy to learn and have a good note. To correct you on your Enform update. The Enform App Suite 2.0 and the Lexus Enform Remote App content have been moved into the Lexus App. The compatible content is still there, but in a new location. Lexus owners will only need to have the one Lexus app instead of multiple apps. You are looking at a video that was made before those announcements. Videos made after the announcement have the newest information. This was also mentioned in the video about Apple Watches having issues syncing after the update.
@@NorthsideLexus , as of this minute, the Lexus site says Enform will cease to work 10/31/22.
are you saying the Lexus app is the route for future?
@@googoo-gjoob You are talking about the cellular companies shutting down 2 and 3G. That will impact Enform services on older model vehicles not the 2020 ES. It is a 4G vehicle. This shutdown will impact any device, including phone, cars, etc., that have DCMs and connected services that use 2 or 3G. It is beyond the control of Lexus and Toyota and there is not a hardware retrofit that is available. So two years from now those vehicles will not have the ability for Enform services that require a cellular connection. Since you were commenting about the Enform App on a video about the 2020 ES, I thought you were discussing the latest updates to the Enform app. It was not clear that you were pointing out the announcement about telecommunications companies turning off 3G. Hopefully this clarifies things for you. If you have any feedback for Lexus corporate, I would recommend reaching out to them at 1-800-255-3987, since I am with a dealership in Houston and can't get your feedback very far up the ladder.
@@NorthsideLexus , thanks for the clarification.... folks helping folks!
@@googoo-gjoob absolutely!
How can I turn off the “AIRBAG ON” sign in the right side of the screen? I mean the orange sign
Hi Abdullrhman, There is not an accessible setting for turning that message off. A Technician at your Lexus dealership might be able to do it, but I'm sure there are legal and safety details about why they don't permit it. When it shows "Airbag Off" it means weight is not detected in the front passenger seat. When it shows "Airbag On" it means weight/a person is detected. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in!
I just notice an X enclosed in a square on the upper right corner of the screen when I move into the garage when the beeping starts. Do you know what that is?
Hi. Yes, that is a mute button for the beeping from the Parking Sensors. You can click on the X and still have the visual, but mute the audible alert. Thanks for checking in!
Does the video show how to unlock/start the car if the key fob battery dies? I didn't see that in the index.
Hi! Great question. I have a video just for that: th-cam.com/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps :) Thanks so much for tuning in.
What does one do when the lights flash and the horn goes off all of a sudden. By the way I love the video.
So glad you love the video! If the lights flash and the horn sounds that indicated that your alarm has been triggered. Just press the lock button the key fob to turn it off. Then you can press the unlock button and open the vehicle. Hope fully this helps your situation. Let me know if you have any other questions. All the best!
@@NorthsideLexus i feel its more of a technical problem this keeps happening when there is no one or any movement around the car. This has happened around 7 times now it flashes and the horn plays for 2 mins and goes off on it own. I would appreciate some technical advise on this matter if possible by you. Thank you for the prompt reply. Also if you can do a video of how to change the tire of the car and start the car with a physical key if that is possible.
Hi @@mehernoshkhajotia6881 Thanks for following up. I would recommend talking with a Technician at your Lexus dealership. I'm Master Certified as a Lexus Technology Specialist and am not able to diagnose an issue like you are describing. I love the idea of a tire changing video. I'll add that to my list of requested videos. I do have a video about using the mechanical key. It's part of this video: th-cam.com/video/ALL6ha6dAxI/w-d-xo.html Hope you like it.
I just bought a 2020 es 350 (Base Trim I think) but my touch screen doesn’t look like yours. Do I need to update it or my trim level is too low? Also how do I remove a device from my cars Bluetooth
Hi! If you have a non-NAV base trim ES, you will have a different screen, but the setup for the Bluetooth pairing on the phone should be very similar. Menu > Setup > Bluetooth and follow the steps to remove any old phones and then add your phone. :)
Hi, I have 2015 NX200T and have 3 hates about it. The mouse control infotainment screen(so I never use it at all), the single reverse light and the unadjustable back and forth headrest. I like the new ES look, does it have those annoying things?
Hi Danh, Sorry to hear that you aren't enjoying your 2015 NX. If you are comparing it to the 2020 ES it will be very different. Addressing your concerns: 1. They both use a touch pad to control the screen, but the new touch pad is much more customization, larger and easier to use. 2. The tails lights are completely different. 3. The ES headrests are manually adjustable up and down. I would recommend that you connect with a sales person to get more accurate information for your area. I am certified to teach Lexus technology, but I do not work with the builds of the vehicles. Thanks for watching. All the best :)
One more question, when I first got the car, the high beam has auto turnoff when it see other cars headlight. Then it stopped and I cannot figure out how to turn the auto on again. Please tell me what I did wrong?
No worries. The Automatic high beams are controlled by pressing the button at the end of the headlamp stalk. Then move the stalk forward into the "high beam on" position and the car will control them automatically. Here's the section in the video for 15:36 Headlamp Controls to demonstrate. Thanks for tuning in with us!
Thank you so very much, you are the BEST!!
thank you so much
Thanks for tuning in!
I’m sorry I’m not sure if I missed it but how do I turn on my rear AC?
Hi Sarah, For the 2020 ES: Check the dial in-between the rear air vents to make sure they are open. Also select face & feat for the Air Flow mode and that will direct air to the lower vents. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking in.
You did not show how to fold the rear seats of the ES 350 2020
The rear seats do not fold down on the ES model. Perhaps you are thinking of a different vehicle in the Lexus line?
Hello. I have the 2019 ES300H. You stated in this video that the soft press of the turn signal causes the turn signal to blink a certain number of times, and that it is customizable. I read through the manual and there's no indication that it's customizable. Just 3 blinks and that's it. No other option. Is the customize feature new for 2020?
Hi @Jerry. The Lane Change setting is customizable at your Lexus dealership. It requires a Tech to use a computer to make this change. Check out the online version of your Lexus Personalized Settings here: drivers.lexus.com/lexus-drivers-lscs-theme/PDF/services/2019/2019_ES350_LPS_v3.pdf It should be #46. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching.
@@NorthsideLexus Thanks a ton. I will check it out.
I have a serious question about the gas mileage on the 2020 ES 350. I’ve had the car for about 4 months and my take only fills up to 12-12.4gal the MTE indicated 250mi-260mi max. Never has it past 300mi. I need answers because I took it to the dealership with my concern and their answer sounded like BS to me. Im filling up like every 4 days 🤨 and 90% of the time I am on Eco mode. Make it make sense to me.
Hi Paulino. I'm happy to try to help. There are multiple factors with MPG. Here are some things to consider:
1. Did the car have a previous owner? The car has learned their octane rating history and their driving habits and it has adjusted to all of that information.
2. Even though the 2020 ES can use Regular fuel, I would do three tanks in a row of Premium (that's the fuel that is frequently used for testing in research for the numbers you see on the window sticker. (It will tell you in the Owner's Manual as well. If you need to double check it.) Three full tanks will give the learning components on the car time to reset to the new octane and your driving habits. Take notes about your current MPG. Then reset your MPG calculations in the MID so that the Average after Reset reads 0. Then you will be able to start fresh while you do your research. Typically using Premium fuel allows you to get more miles per tank.
3. If you press hard on the gas and fight the eco function of Eco mode you may be using even more gas than you realize. Consider changing to Normal mode and see if you that feels better to drive light on the gas and light on the brake.
4. Check your tire pressure. Proper tire inflation helps with fuel economy.
5. Extra cargo can add weight, which can reduce fuel economy as well.
I hope this helps :)

How to customize the soft lain change assist feature? The blinker how many times they will temporally blink?
Hi M B, On the ES this feature is customized at your Lexus dealership by a Technician. Here's the pdf of all of the items that can be customized. The feature you're looking for is listed as #45

All the best!
@@NorthsideLexus Thank you But why won't they let use make these changes our self. I see that Lexus will charged us after the first six months.
@@VP48 I wish all of the customizations could be made in the vehicle. They keep adding more and more capabilities, but not all of them are there yet. All dealerships handle charging in different way. Usually if you are there for a regular service they won't charge extra to do this, but it may be different at your dealership. I can't speak to the practices at each store. I would call your dealership and ask if it can be done for free when you have a service done. Maybe that will help.
@@NorthsideLexus Thanks again for the quick reply and I'll do that. Thanks for the very informative video's,
i bought this car last week ... to my b-day ... i have problem with driver´s seat memory storing ... i did it same way, but driver´s seat is not stored, wheel change position correctly, as was set, but seat is still not moving ... i stored 2 different driver´s positions into 1 and 3 ... this must be something wrong or? ... i did it correctly, but still the same ... so i think must go to diagnostics ... or where could be a problem?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like your seat may need to be recalibrated. When you move the seat doe it beep while you are making the adjustment? Also, when you press "Set" and then the number do you hear one single beep?
Here's how to do a recalibration. You are basically moving each possible position to the max in each direction. So for every possible adjustment go all the way that direction, hold for 3 seconds, go all the way the opposite direction, hold for three seconds. For example: go all the way forward, hold for 3 seconds, go all the back, hold for 3 seconds. Then repeat for all possible adjustments.
I have also seen this document that does it differently. Hopefully one of these procedures will help: static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10145738-9999.pdf
many thanks for your help … will try it later today … it looks like service did not made this job properly … will see
@@rastislavstefanik9367 I'm sorry you are experiencing that with your birthday. I hope this works for you :)
@@NorthsideLexus don´t worry ... i picked up my car directly on my b-day as i wanted to pick up ... problem was fixed in authorised service today ... i had some activity there, so chief of the service made it in just few minutes ... i will keep your link for the future, because they told me, that from time to time this car could reset all the stored positions ... i will be prepared for the future ... many thanks fom your advice ... i am writing from the other side of the World ... i found your tutorial videos, they are very usefull ... once again ... big thank you
Can you tell me what grade gas I should use for a 2020 ES300H? I know manual says 87 octane.
Hi Kolohe! Yes, the ES is designed to use Regular fuel or 87 octane. The Owner's Manual notes that 95 octane was the research octane. So you can always use Premium fuel. It will end up giving you more miles per tank. If you change fuel, it is a good idea to give it three full tanks of fuel to allow the system to learn the new rating and adjust the calculations for you. Hope this helps.
Hello thank you for your information. I have lexus es 350 2020 but my car doesn't have kick sistem and no rim lock ???!@! Can you tell me why
Thanks again
Daryoush
Hi, Daryoush, The Kick Sensor and Wheel Lock sets are available options and is not on all ESs. It would depend on the package that came on the vehicle you purchased. Wheel lock sets can be installed after purchase at your Lexus dealer, but the Kick Sensor is only installed at the factory. Check the window sticker for all of the equipment on your ES for more details. I hope this helps. Thanks very much for checking in with me.
Thank you for your answer. Just one more thing I forget to ask my es 350 2020 dosnt have trank key from inside my trunk also.??
And why the car from same year have to be different.???
I wish you all the best and thank you.
@@daryoushb110 I know there were some years and some packages that did not include a locking pass through from the back seat to the trunk. Is that what you mean? I know it can confusing when there are different packages and cars are built differently in different parts of the world also. I only have access to vehicles built for the US market. I hope this helps.
@@NorthsideLexus I buy my car from key lexus in los angels.. my point is for closing trunk there is some button you press it and trunk closed . Button is near to trunk luck.
@@daryoushb110 I see. The button to close the trunk is for models with the power trunk option. If you have a power trunk, you will see the power trunk close button on the left hand side. I hope this helps. Thanks again.
14:30 "So the rule now is every 5,000 miles or every six months you should bring your Lexus vehicle in for service." Who made that "rule"? The Lexus service center that wants my money? If I'm not driving much -- or at all -- why do I constantly need to bring in a car that you sell as one of the most reliable in the world?
Hi @Bigwave2003, vehicles with full synthetic oil only require an oil change every 10,000 miles. The Owner's Manual states that the vehicle should be serviced every 5,000 miles or six months, which ever comes first, for tire rotations, fluid top offs, filter checks, etc. Vehicles used to require much more frequent maintenance, so guess I'm confused by your questions. Most people are happy to have these longer intervals between maintenance. If you have a question about your Lexus, I'm happy to try to help.
I see no links to other viseos.

Very informative. You must have been an elementary teacher in a prior career, lol.
LOL! I actually was! But only for a year at a tiny school and the school closed when the owner moved. So I changed careers. You can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you apparently can't take the "teacher" out of the teacher! LOL! Thanks for tuning in with me!
@@NorthsideLexus 😂👍
What gas this car take ?
Typically the 2020 ES is recommended to use Regular fuel. However, it is always best to look in the Fuel section of your Owner's Manual to confirm what fuel was used for testing and what fuel is recommended or required for your year and model Lexus. Thanks for checking in.
Fun fact it plays dvds as well
That's awesome that your head unit is compatible for DVDs also. Not all Lexus radio/head units have DVD compatibility. Some are CD only, some are DVD audio only, and some have full compatibility and will show video on the main screen when the vehicle is in Park and the Emergency Brake is applied. Thanks for tuning in with us.

@@NorthsideLexus this is actually a compliment, just in case you got it wrong ;-)
Aww. 😊 Thanks!
Too long !!!
Hi Bassem. The Deep Dive tutorials are full lessons on the vehicles for our new Lexus owners. If you prefer shorter videos for your Lexus, you might like the Tech Tip Tuesday videos better.

Thank you so much for your effort. You saved me so much time and headache You have no idea
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful for you! Thanks for tuning in with me!
Click 2 times sports mode get sport+
For models that include the Sport S+ feature, usually F-Sport package only, that correct. 👍
What a great video! Thanks
I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for being here!
