WARRANTY
Four-year/50,000-mile Lexus Limited Warranty. Six-year/70,000-mile Powertrain Warranty. Six-year/unlimited-mileage Corrosion Perforation Warranty.
All warranties with zero deductible. See the ES Warranty and Services Guide at your Lexus dealer for details.
1. Lexus Enform and Safety Connect are available. Contact with the Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect response center is dependent upon the telematics device being in operative condition,
cellular connection availability, navigation map data and GPS satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to reach the response center or receive support. Enrollment and Telematics
Subscription Service Agreement required. One-year trial subscription available only with new vehicle purchase of Lexus Enform– and Safety Connect–equipped vehicles. Additional
subscription terms available; charges vary by subscription term selected. 2. Lexus Enform premium services Destination Assist and eDestination will function in the contiguous United States.
These services may also function in Hawaii and limited areas of Alaska for vehicles that contain map data for those states. They will not function in Canada or in other countries outside the
United States. 3. Safety Connect services will function in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada. The services will not function outside of the United States in countries
other than Canada. 4. The Bluetooth technology phones listed on lexus.com have been tested for compatibility with Lexus vehicles. Performance will vary based on phone software version,
coverage and your wireless carrier. Phones are warranted by their manufacturer, not Lexus. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and
any use of such marks by Lexus is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners. 5. Bluetooth audio device must be enabled with A2DP and AVRCP.
6. The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate
this system. 7. The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or bring a SmartAccess fob into the vehicle, the key transmits an
electronic code to the vehicle. The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key or SmartAccess fob matches the code in the vehicle’s immobilizer. Because the
transponder chip is embedded in the key or SmartAccess fob, it can be costly to replace. If you lose a key or SmartAccess fob, your Lexus dealer can help. Alternatively, you can find a qualified
independent locksmith to perform high-security key services by consulting your local Yellow Pages or by contacting www.aloa.org. 8. Comfort sensors include relays and receivers. 9. Mark
Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Inc. 10. Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the Navigation System or any SiriusXM services
mentioned (if installed) are dependent upon many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services not available in every city or roadway. Periodic Navigation
updates available at additional cost. Please see your Navigation System Owner’s Manual or contact SiriusXM for details. 11. SiriusXM services require a subscription after trial period.
Subscriptions governed by SiriusXM Customer Agreement available at siriusxm.com. If you decide to continue your SiriusXM service at the end of your complimentary trial, the plan you
choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates unless you call 1-800-967-2346 to cancel. Fees and programming subject to change. Available only to those at least 18 years
of age in the 48 contiguous United States and D.C. 12. The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your
vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 13. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the
driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner’s Manual for important instructions and cautions. 14. The Pre-Collision System is designed to help
reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on
many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 15. The Adaptive Front Lighting System can help improve vision at night.
However, conditions such as a dirty windshield, rapidly changing light conditions or hilly terrain will limit effectiveness so the driver may need to manually change the high beams from on to off.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 16. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking
effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. 17. 17-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires.
Tire life may be substantially less than 20,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions. 18. Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by
professional drivers using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. 19. 2012 EPA-estimated mileage. Actual mileage will vary. 20. iPod is a registered trademark of Apple
Inc. All rights reserved. 21. To avoid interference with pedal operation, do not install a floor mat on top of an existing floor mat, and each mat must be secured with retention hooks (clips). This
floor mat was designed specifically for use in this model and model year vehicle and SHOULD NOT be used in any other vehicle. 22. Currently only available pre-installed on select vehicles.
Ask your Dealer Sales Consultant for vehicle application. 23. Coverage only available in the continental U.S. and Canada. Please see your Lexus dealer for details. 24. Continuous average
power, all channels driven, at less than 0.1% THD; 20–20,000 Hz. 25. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under
adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a
loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 26. Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applications. When
engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart
Stop Technology is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 27. The Tire Pressure Monitor
alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 28. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and
in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or
lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible
and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB
may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings.
*Lexus strives to build vehicles to match customer interest, and thus they typically are built with popular options and option packages. Not all options/packages are available separately, and
some may not be available in all regions of the country. See lexus.com for information about options/packages commonly available in your area. If you would prefer a vehicle without any or with
different options, contact your dealer to check for current availability or the possibility of placing a special order. Specifications, features, equipment, technical data, performance figures, options,
and color and trim are based upon information available at time of printing, are subject to change without notice, are for mainland U.S.A. vehicles only. Some vehicles shown with available
equipment. See your Lexus dealer for details. Lexus reminds you to wear seatbelts, secure children in rear seat, obey all traffic laws and drive responsibly.

2012 | ES
True luxury is something you can not only touch, but feel. It’s confidence in an unfamiliar location,
courtesy of advanced technology like available Lexus Enform®1,2 with Safety Connect.®1,3 It’s the
smooth rush of a six-speed automatic transmission and 268-horsepower engine. And the tranquility of a meticulously
sound-dampened cabin outfitted in hand-selected leather and wood trim. In other words, it’s the difference between
driving a new luxury car and driving a new Lexus. Presenting the 2012 ES. Let the coveting begin.
ES 350
3.5-liter V6, dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i),
six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission
ES shown with available equipment.
114 points of sound dampening, 88 measures to prevent vibrations, 43 sensors for comfort.8 And, of course, seven sensors
to monitor the sensors. Here, seemingly insignificant details. But when combined with the innovative technology, inspiring
craftsmanship and intelligent performance of the ES, they result in an experience that’s nothing short of amazing.
BLUETOOTH ® TECHNOLOGY
In addition to enabling you to place hands-free calls
on compatible phones, Bluetooth technology4 lets you
control compatible portable audio players 5 wirelessly
using the onboard audio system.
SMARTACCESS
The ultimate in convenience, SmartAccess 6,7 enables
you to unlock all four doors and the trunk as well as
start the ES without removing the device from your
pocket or purse. The system can also recognize
separate fobs for two drivers and automatically recall
their preferred settings.
DUAL VVT-i ENGINE
Monitoring the engine’s speed and load, dual Variable
Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) increases torque
at lower speeds while boosting power at higher speeds.
This results in faster acceleration, better performance
and lower emissions.
LEATHER AND WOOD TRIM
Brown walnut or espresso bird’s-eye maple accents
are hand-selected for consistent color, shade and
grain throughout the cabin. And for optimal quality,
leather and available semi-aniline leather trim must
undergo 11 rigorous durability tests to ensure they’re
up to Lexus’ standards.
MARK LEVINSON ® AUDIO
Designed specifically for the ES, the available Mark
Levinson Premium Surround Sound System9 features
7.1 surround sound, a DVD/CD auto-changer and 14
precision-tuned and positioned speakers. The result is
an audio experience that more resembles a concert
hall than an automobile.
ES shown with available equipment.
In here, you’ll discover materials and craftsmanship more commonly found on vehicles twice its price.
As well as available accommodations like a panorama glass roof, driver’s-seat power cushion extender and
heated and ventilated front seats trimmed in perforated semi-aniline leather. In fact, of all the things you’ll
appreciate about the ES, the most impressive just might be the one thing it lacks: compromise.
HEATED AND VENTILATED FRONT SEATS
To help keep you comfortable, this available feature
circulates air through perforations in the front seats’
leather trim and allows you to heat the front seatbacks
and lower-seat cushions to one of three levels.
DUAL-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL
Separate controls allow the driver and front passenger
to adjust the cabin temperature to their preference. In
addition, a smog-sensing automatic recirculation system
monitors the outside air for smog-forming compounds.
If a high level is detected, the air intake turns off, and the
cleaner air is recirculated inside the cabin.
VOICE COMMAND
Accessed by pressing a button on the steering wheel,
the available voice-command system enables you
to place phone calls and control climate, audio and
available navigation functions using your normal,
everyday speaking voice.
