I've got the rear seat controls in the GS and my Dad had them in his LS. Theres a button to lock them out.

I mean...Lexus is a luxury car brand but its not a a peerless brand like Apple. I just don't see the similarity.

Do your lights do a cycle when you start the car up?
Do you see them auto level when driving?

As nice as that "perk" for buying a Lexus is, it's still more like 5th or 6th in rank of stuff I care about when buying a vehicle because of how often I would actually need to utilize those services when compared to actually driving the car on a daily basis(the "living with it"). Definitely to the younger buyers "toys" get a higher weight when factoring overall value in a vehicle. (we just purchased a 2013 ES350, luxury, HID, blind spot in feb 
).

They don't do the cycle during start up like my 2010 and I haven't noticed the light beam moving up and down when driving. But when my car was lifted up in the shop last time, I saw a rod linked to the right rear suspension and its other end is connected to the car just like my 2010. I also noticed that those 13' ES without HID do not have this rod/link in the same place. So I think/hope that my 13' ES has anto leveling head light(at least).......since thay have already taken the AFS away!

svastephen, so the HIDs don't do the auto check or bounce at start up, nor adjust on hills. This is an indication they don't have the auto leveling. You may want to confirm this with your service adviser. See Bigblack06 quote above. The auto leveling is not in the 2013 ES. .

A couple other people have mentioned that the sensor arm is there, which makes sense since the ES in other markets has auto leveling, but if you dont have a level check at startup, there is no auto leveling.
I watched this morning when I started up my GS if they went through the check and they do.

It could make sense that the UL trim of the ES 350 would have the sensor arm there by default even though in the US it isn't actually used or connected to an auto leveling system. They may have pulled it for cost cutting or supply issues, or both.
