Mine is on all the time.

The bad part is, you kind of get dependent upon it. When I first got the car, I drove into the garage very slowly and as soon as it beeped (tight squeeze next to other car) I would stop and adjust my position. Now I just zoom in and if it beeps I know I have x amount of allowance because it beeps faster the closer I get.

I believe Lexus took park assist off the 2010/2011's ISX50 because the IS is already small enough and it is a little redundant. Could be wrong though.

Parking sensors is still available as a special build option.

Almost like Mark Levinson which is a special option for IS250/350, which is standard on the IS-F. Slight exception would be Lexus Canada where Mark Levinson is part of the Luxary package for the IS350 AWD.

Actually for the new year, the headlights are now stationary and there's no more dynamic cruise/collision avoidance.
