Hi:
I am a new owner having just purchased a 2013 ES 350 base model (I believe). So far so good the car is very nice. I do have a couple of questions 1) Can I change the temperature readouts from Celsius to Fahrenheit? 2) What do most of you use to clean the interior like the dash and leather seating.
Thanks
Etid

welcome aboard. You can change the temperature units, I dont know exactly where but somewhere in the vehicle settings with the infotainment. For the interior cleaning, chemical guys makes a lot of interior cleaning products. Just remember to spray on a microfiber towel and wipe the surfaces with it, dont spray directly on the surface

Welcome to CL. You might want to post this over on the 6th Gen ES forum. You might get more info on your HVAC settings question over there.

Welcome to CL.

Until you actually get your revised gauge-reading, you can keep a couple of simple conversions in your mind, and just estimate from there. 0 Celsius is 32 Farenheit (the freezing point of fresh water) 100 Celsius is 212 Farenheit (the boiling point of water, not the boiling point of coolant)....so, at normal fully-warm running temperature of 195-200 degrees F, the needle on the gauge should be just short of that point. The low end of the normal range on the gauge is around 140 degrees F...which is 60 Celsius. Using that, you can estimate the readings in between
