Default Where is PCS Control

Sorry for being so dense, but I can not find the PCS on/off or sensitivity control on my 2021 ES. The OM is not helping me. I can find everything else ok. Thx.

Use the left side LCD screen to navigate using the steering wheel controls (also left side) until you get to the PCS settings. You can further set these to your liking using the Carista dongle and $9.99 subscription. i have disabled ANC and set the car to remember my PCS settings (or else it will just default to normal next time you start the car) i found it too sensitive and almost caused a crash one time. It's not for F1 drivers! lol

Right, but I can’t find it. BSM, RSA, LCA, etc but can’t find PCS. Is it in a sub menu under vehicle or meter settings?

It is located in the Multi Information Display under the Settings menu (the gear icon) and the PSC item should be the last item on the initial screen's item list (there are more if you scroll down the list). Be aware, the PSC setting will revert to ON every time the vehicle is turned on.

If you want a video on Multi Information Display operation to the PCS setting item, Northside Lexus's Melissa O'Connell as part of a ES full tutorial shows the MID operation drilling down to the PCS starting at the 26:07 time mark:

Thx, I watched most of her video several times while I was waiting for vehicle delivery last August. I forgot I could scroll down past the Vehicle and Meter settings screen.

couldn't you just explore all the settings there? i led you right to it.

Going to your computer and typing out your post took way longer than it would have to just click on a few more buttons in the menu you were already in.

See my post #5 above, wiseguy. You didn’t tell me anything I did not already know.
