New things you learn about the ES that make you smile
I figured a thread about little things you learn about the ES that you didn't know might be beneficial to everyone 
Last night I went into the garage where my 350 was parked to get something from my wife's car. Soon as I walked in between the cars, the courtesy light on the mirror came on as well as the interior lights. I thought that is a real nice touch. It must use the blind spot sensors or park assist to detect motion around the car and the courtesy lights come on.

interesting. did you have your keys in your pocket as well?
my camry hybrid interior lights up when i approach it with my keys. i don't know if i would want the car to light up when someone else without a key walks by. it just says "hey look at me, take a look inside! anything you want to steal?"

Those with the 300h, i'm sure you've noticed the blue ambient dash light in Eco, and red ambient light in Sport. And as you push the gas petal more, the blue light dims indicating less eco on milage. Also in Sport, the tach is displayed while in Eco the tach dial changes to an Eco gauge. Pretty cool.

I haven't driven in Sport mode enough to notice. I've been in Eco mode trying to break 42.0 mpg combo freeway/city avg until next fill up. Still driving to achieve the higher mpg. .
