I have used the Brake Hold Button on my 2010 LS 460 for many years. I do not think any model of the 2019 ES 350's has that option. I would be disappointed if that is the case. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks.

We have it on both of our Lexus models and don't use it on either. I guess it might come in handy in stop and go but I really don't find it useful in general.

We have it on our NX and we don’t use it either. I think it is just too hard to unlearn the idea that we need to keep our feet on the brake when sitting stopped in traffic. It is just a little too gimmicky for my tastes - or perhaps I am just too old / old-school.

I do a lot of city stop & go traffic and keep my foot on the brake pedal too. Just don't have to expend the extra energy of keeping it fully depressed. It has grown on me.

I tried this out just yesterday for the first time. I'm inclined to agree with Doug that it's more a gimmick than anything. I was surprised to see that the "hold" indicator stayed on after I used it once and started out. By the time I got home it was still on until I released it. So it engages each time you stop for anything and then releases when you apply the accelerator?
I didn't smell any burning disc brakes so guess it's OK...

It takes a little while to get used to it, but once you do it becomes second nature. I've been using it since I got my 2008 LS, and on all the cars after that. However if the Hold feature has been engaged for at least three minutes the car (at least the LS 460s) will then apply the parking brake. If you do not realize that this has happened you will wonder why your car refuses to move forward even after pressing the accelerator. I don't have this feature on my 2011 or 2015 ES350s, but it's been on all my LS 460s and now LS 500.

I thought the brake hold was a gimmick too until I started using it. Now its one of my all time favorite features, I wouldn't buy another car without it.
Its not really for stop and go traffic, at least I don't use it that way. I use it for long traffic lights.
