I traded in a 2020 Highlander Platinum for a 2024 ES 300h Ultra Luxury. When using the nav system in the Highlander, I would get warning about traffic congestion, I do not get those in the Lexus. Is there a way to turn those on?

I don't have access to a 2023/2024 ES with the "new" Lexus Interface system to see how things really work so take the following as promising suggestions to investigate based upon reading the 2023/2024 pdf version manual.
On page 50, "Notifications settings" section, there's a "Navgation" notification setting "[Traffic alerts] that will "Turn the traffic information voice guidance on or off."
On page 109, "Map options screen" section, there's a "Traffic" toggle control:
🄰 Touch to turn the display of traffic information on/off. (→P.109)
...
Traffic information will be displayed on the map screen.
• Icons are used to indicate road conditions and incidents.

● If a faster route is found during route guidance, a suggestion to change routes will be displayed.

Thank you….All of the Navigation and Notification settings are turned on. Did not get any notice of a lane closure for construction and backed up traffic on Hwy 77 in Virginia yesterday.

1. Data source: old system HD Radio broadcast and DCM (with an option control for just HD Radio broadcast) -- new system just DCM
2, Data types: old system weather and traffic data -- new system just traffic data
3. Data feed trigger/availability:
a. Old system continuous from "known" local HD Radio station broadcast with a traffic and/or weather data broadcast sub-channel
Data service information, which is comprised of traffic information and weather information, can be received via HD Radio broadcast or DCM (Data Communication Module). The receiving method can be set to both or only via HD Radio broadcast.
How often does Drive Connect Cloud Navigation refresh my maps?
The map information will update the latest route and traffic details as you search for new destinations or as you progress along an active route guidance. It will also refresh as your vehicle enters new areas.

When driving between cities in my RC350 during the last 9 years, I often used both the Lexus Nav and Waze at the same time. It was not unusual for their reports about traffic to differ. What each system tells you depends upon what it knows. The fact that you did not get a notification of a traffic problem does not mean that your warning system is not engaged, as it could well be that the problem had not yet found its way to the system.
My new ES has CarPlay and NAV, and I guess I can run both systems at the same time, although only one on the screen at a time. I am hoping that the voice prompts for both can be active at the same time.
We shall see.

You would think being connected to the cloud would give you accurate real time data especially since it is subscription based. I was told over 20 years ago with purchase of my LS430UL that Lexus nav was not there strong point and that has not changed. Just wait till it finally factors in that construction but has since cleared days earlier and routes you 10 miles out of the way. It will and has happened to me and if you can't trust it once you never can.
