So I just set up my cell phone at the back of the car filming the tail lights and recorded a video shifting from Park to Drive and Drive to Park at a leisurely slow pace. The reverse light doesn't blink or flash. So there's a built in delay in the ES that the Camry doesn't get. the delay allows the shifter to pass the reverse detent before activating the reverse light momentarily. What you'd expect a premium car to do. So yep this is a cool find for me!

Now I am wondering if you cancel the blinker signals mid-flash, will it do a partial blink or will the car complete a full blink to give a classy appearance? I know on BMWs, it completes a full blink and never cancels mid-flash. e.g., partial flash. and before you go look at the gauge cluster, i am not 100% sure if the gauge cluster represents what's actually taking place at the lights outside.
