Thks. Indeed, is a very comfortable car to drive.

 

The one and only thing I dun like is the DRCC does not come to a complete stop whereby this function is supposed to be available according to the manual.

you're right.perhaps when i meet my SE can ask him this question.

 

fun fact:you know that you can wind down and up all 4 windows(including the pano roof) when the engine is off using the key fob.

to wind down:-unlock the car either using key or handle sensor.then depress the unlock button for a certain period(without letting go) an all your windows will wind down at once.to open pano rooftop.depress(do not let go) again and it will open up the pano rooftop.

to wind up:-same steps but using the lock button on your key.kinda cool.

Yup. For closing, do depress fully and ensure all windows are fully closed before release the button.

Hi guys

 

Did you encounter some gear grinding sound when the car reactivates itself from auto start stop function? I encountered this, not frequent but intermittent.

Yours es250 or 300h? Din notice any sound from the gear box. But I do have loud mechanical "tuck" sound most of the time when the brake is depress.

Mine is ES250. Gear grinding sound comes about when car jumps into action before moving off after auto start stop function kicks in.

 

Mechanical tuck may be due to braking mechanism kicking in? Not sure if normal though .

I guess the gearbox is different for ES250 & ES300h, ES300h is eCVT though.

 

Do you get the tuck sound when braking?

Nope. Braking is ok. Slight Tuck sound i guess should be normal especially when it will have to be run in first

Yeah, I use DRCC 80% of the time. So far my best fuel consumption clocked 21km/l, average clocked 20km/l. That's pretty cool for a 2487cc ...

Bro , the yellow sign signifies Low Tyre air warning ?

 

Well if you had seen my earlier post here #263 posted on 9th December I posted that I wrecked my front left tyre, here's the link https://www.mycarforum.com/topic/2709910-2018-2019-7th-generation-lexus-es/page-14?do=findComment&comment=6579449

 

Lexus came to my rescue and took the damaged wheel away. Therefore my car effectively is without any spare tyre. So the tyre pressure sensor shows an error as 1 tyre is missing which is the spare tyre.

Actually they called me yesterday morning to inform me the new wheel is ready for collection so I will be going there in a few minutes time.

Can't stand this feature really (personal preference la). Always turn it off too for my RX, Revo and 5. Can';t see the point that it can save fuel and also think not good for engine start and stop so often most of all is the delay in driving off . .  .sianz

Just turn it off everytime you start the vehicle.

 

The start-stop doesn't save very much fuel and ruins the refinement of your nice Lex during restart.
