Operation of the air conditioning sys-

tem in Eco mode

Eco mode controls the heating/cooling 

operations and fan speed of the air condi-

tioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. To 

improve air conditioning performance, 

adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco mode.

When canceling Eco mode/Sport mode

Select another driving mode. Also, Sport 

mode will be canceled automatically 

when the engine switch is turned off.

Normal mode and Eco mode will not be 

canceled automatically until another driv-

ing mode is selected, even if the engine 

switch is turned off.

Operating the ASC (Active Sound 

Control)

If the ASC is ON, an electronic sound plays 

when the Sport S+ mode is selected.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the 
brakes are applied suddenly, or if the 
brakes are applied while driving on a 
slippery road surface

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of brak-
ing force after the brake pedal is 
depressed when the system detects a 
panic stop situation.

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding 
when swerving suddenly or turning on 
slippery road surfaces

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehi-
cle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of the 
ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability 
when swerving on slippery road sur-
faces by controlling steering perfor-
mance.

Driving assist systems

To keep driving safety and perfor-
mance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to 
various driving situations. Be aware, 
however, that these systems are 
supplementary and should not be 
relied upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.

Driving

Trailer Sway Control

Helps the driver to control trailer sway 
by selectively applying brake pressure 
for individual wheels and reducing 
driving torque when trailer sway is 
detected.

TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and pre-
vent the drive wheels from spinning 
when starting the vehicle or accelerat-
ing on slippery roads

Hill-start assist control

Helps to reduce the backward move-
ment of the vehicle when starting on an 
uphill

EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Employs an electric motor to reduce 
the amount of effort needed to turn the 
steering wheel

Dynamic Torque Control AWD 
system (if equipped)

Automatically switches from front-
wheel drive to all-wheel drive (AWD) 
according to the driving conditions, 
helping to ensure reliable handling and 
stability. Examples of conditions where 
the system will switch to AWD are 
when cornering, going uphill, starting 
off or accelerating, and when the road 
surface is slippery due to snow, rain, 
etc.

AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspen-
sion system) (if equipped)

By independently controlling the 
damping force of the shock absorbers 
for each of the 4 wheels according to 
the road and driving conditions, this 

system helps riding comfort with supe-
rior vehicle stability, and helps good 
vehicle posture. If Sport S+ mode is 
selected using the driving mode select 
switch, the damping force will become 
more suitable for sporty driving.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the 

ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer Sway 

Control, TRAC and hill-start assist con-

trol systems

A sound may be heard from the engine 

compartment when the brake pedal is 

depressed repeatedly, when the engine is 

started or just after the vehicle begins to 

move. This sound does not indicate that a 

malfunction has occurred in any of these 

systems.

Any of the following conditions may 

occur when the above systems are oper-

ating. None of these indicates that a mal-

function has occurred.

• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle 

body and steering.

• A motor sound may be heard also after 

the vehicle comes to a stop.

• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after 

the ABS is activated.

• The brake pedal may move down slightly 

after the ABS is activated.

EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is operated, a 

motor sound (whirring sound) may be 

heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS sys-

tem

The effectiveness of the EPS system is 

reduced to prevent the system from over-

heating when there is frequent steering 

input over an extended period of time. The 

steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. 

Should this occur, refrain from excessive 

steering input or stop the vehicle and turn 

the engine off. The EPS system should 

return to normal within 10 minutes.

Automatic reactivation of TRAC, Trailer 

Sway Control and VSC systems

After turning the TRAC, Trailer Sway Con-

trol and VSC systems off, the systems will 

be automatically re-enabled in the following 

situations:

When the engine switch is turned off

If only the TRAC system is turned off, the 

TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed 

increases

If both the TRAC and VSC systems are 

turned off, automatic re-enabling will not 

occur when vehicle speed increases.

Operating conditions of hill-start assist 

control

When the following four conditions are met, 

the hill-start assist control will operate:

The shift lever is in a position other than P 

or N (when starting off forward/back-

ward on an upward incline).

WARNING

The ABS does not operate effectively 

when

The limits of tire gripping performance 

have been exceeded (such as exces-

sively worn tires on a snow covered 

road).

The vehicle hydroplanes while driving 

at high speed on wet or slick roads.

Stopping distance when the ABS is 

operating may exceed that of normal 

conditions

The ABS is not designed to shorten the 

vehicle’s stopping distance. Always main-

tain a safe distance from the vehicle in 

front of you, especially in the following 

situations:

When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-

covered roads

When driving with tire chains

When driving over bumps in the road

When driving over roads with potholes 

or uneven surfaces

TRAC/VSC may not operate effec-

tively when

Directional control and power may not 

be achievable while driving on slippery 

road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC 

system is operating.

Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions 

where stability and power may be lost.

Hill-start assist control does not oper-

ate effectively when

Do not overly rely on hill-start assist 

control. Hill-start assist control may 

not operate effectively on steep 

inclines and roads covered with ice.

Unlike the parking brake, hill-start 

assist control is not intended to hold 

the vehicle stationary for an extended 

period of time. Do not attempt to use 

hill-start assist control to hold the vehi-

cle on an incline, as doing so may lead 

to an accident.

When the TRAC/VSC/ Trailer Sway 

Control is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always 

drive carefully. Reckless driving may 

cause an accident. Exercise particular 

care when the indicator light flashes.

When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway 

Control systems are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed 

appropriate to the road conditions. As 

these are the systems to help ensure 

vehicle stability and driving force, do not 

turn the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Con-

trol systems off unless necessary.

Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC 

system and will not operate if VSC is 

turned off or experiences a malfunction.

WARNING

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the speci-

fied size, brand, tread pattern and total 

load capacity. In addition, make sure that 

the tires are inflated to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure level.

The ABS, TRAC, Trailer Sway Control 

and VSC systems will not function cor-

rectly if different tires are installed on the 

vehicle.

Contact your Lexus dealer for further 

information when replacing tires or 

wheels.

Handling of tires and the suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or 

modifying the suspension will affect the 

driving assist systems, and may cause a 

system to malfunction.

Trailer Sway Control precaution

The Trailer Sway Control system is not 

able to reduce trailer sway in all situa-

tions. Depending on many factors such 

as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer, 

road surface and driving environment, 

the Trailer Sway Control system may not 

be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s 

manual for information on how to tow 

your trailer properly.

If trailer sway occurs

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may cause death or seri-

ous injury.

Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer 

straight ahead. Do not try to control 

trailer sway by turning the steering 

wheel.

Begin releasing the accelerator pedal 

immediately but very gradually to 

reduce speed.

Do not increase speed. Do not apply 

vehicle brakes.

If you make no extreme correction with 

the steering or brakes, your vehicle and 

trailer should stabilize. (

P.237)

All-wheel drive lock switch 
(AWD models)

All-wheel drive lock mode can be 
used when a large amount of drive 
power needs to be applied to all the 
wheels, such as when the vehicle 
gets stuck in mud and you need to 
free it.

tions.

Preparation for winter

WARNING

Driving with snow tires

Observe the following precautions to 

reduce the risk of accidents.

Failure to do so may result in a loss of 

vehicle control and cause death or seri-

ous injury.

Use tires of the specified size.

Maintain the recommended level of air 

pressure.

Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 

km/h), regardless of the type of snow 

tires being used.

Use snow tires on all, not just some 

wheels.

Driving with tire chains

Observe the following precautions to 

reduce the risk of accidents.

Failure to do so may result in the vehicle 

being unable to be driven safely, and may 

cause death or serious injury.

Do not drive in excess of the speed 

limit specified for the tire chains being 

used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), which-

ever is lower.

Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces 

or over potholes.

Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt 

steering, sudden braking and shifting 

operations that cause sudden engine 

braking.

Slow down sufficiently before entering 

a curve to ensure that vehicle control is 

maintained.

NOTICE

Repairing or replacing snow tires

Request repairs or replacement of snow 

tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire 

retailers.

This is because the removal and attach-

ment of snow tires affects the operation 

of the tire pressure warning valves and 

transmitters.

immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.

 To ensure proper operation of the 

climate control system fan, remove 
any snow that has accumulated on 
the air inlet vents in front of the 
windshield.

 Check for and remove any excess 

ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s 
roof, chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.

 Remove any snow or mud from the 

bottom of your shoes before getting 
in the vehicle.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a 
safe distance between you and the 
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced 
speed suitable to road conditions.

 Park the vehicle and move the shift 

lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may 
freeze up, preventing it from being 
released. If the vehicle is parked 
without setting the parking brake, 
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous 
because it may cause the vehicle to 
move unexpectedly, possibly lead-
ing to an accident.

When the parking brake is in automatic 
mode, release the parking brake after shift-
ing the shift lever to P. (

P.162)

 If the vehicle is left parked with the 

brakes damp in cold temperatures, 
there is a possibility of the brakes 
freezing.

 If the vehicle is parked without set-

ting the parking brake, confirm that 
the shift lever cannot be moved out 
of P

*

.

*

: The shift lever will be locked if it is 

attempted to be shifted from P to any 
other position without depressing the 
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be 
shifted from P, there may be a problem 
with the shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer 
immediately.

Use the correct tire chain size when 
mounting the tire chains. Chain size is 
regulated for each tire size.

Side chain:

0.12 in. (3 mm) in diameter
0.39 in. (10 mm) in width
0.98 in. (25 mm) in length

Cross chain:

0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter
0.55 in. (14 mm) in width
0.98 in. (25 mm) in length

Vehicles with 225/60R18 tires

Tire chains cannot be mounted on the 
225/60R18 tires.
Snow tires should be used instead.

Regulations regarding the use of tire 
chains vary depending on location and 
type of road. Always check local regu-
lations before installing chains.

Tire chain installation

Observe the following precautions when 

installing and removing chains:

Install and remove tire chains in a safe 

location.

Install tire chains on the front tires only. 

Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.

Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as 

possible. Retighten chains after driving 1/

4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).

Install tire chains following the instruc-

tions provided with the tire chains.

 Specific design characteristics give 

it a higher center of gravity than 
ordinary passenger cars. This vehi-
cle design feature causes this type 
of vehicle to be more likely to roll-
over. Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than 
other types of vehicles.

 An advantage of the higher ground 

clearance is a better view of the 
road allowing you to anticipate 
problems.

 It is not designed for cornering at 

the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road 
conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at 
excessive speeds may cause roll-
over.

Driving

Your vehicle is not designed to be 
driven off-road. However, in the event 
that off-road driving cannot be 
avoided, please observe the following 
precautions to help avoid the areas 
prohibited to vehicles.

 Drive your vehicle only in areas 

where off-road vehicles are permit-
ted to travel.

 Respect private property. Get 

owner’s permission before entering 
private property.

 Do not enter areas that are closed. 

Honor gates, barriers and signs that 
restrict travel.

 Stay on established roads. When 

conditions are wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or travel 
delayed to prevent damage to 
roads.

Additional information for off-road driv-

ing

For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and 

Puerto Rico:

To obtain additional information pertaining 

to driving your vehicle off-road, consult the 

following organizations.

State and Local Parks and Recreation 

Departments

State Motor Vehicle Bureau

Recreational Vehicle Clubs

U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land 

Management

WARNING

Utility vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 

is significantly more likely to die than a 

person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, 

the driver and all passengers should 

always fasten their seat belts.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-

vers, if at all possible.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly 

may result in loss of control or vehicle 

rollover causing death or serious 

injury.

Loading cargo on the roof luggage 

carrier (if equipped) will make the cen-

ter of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid 

high speeds, sudden starts, sharp 

turns, sudden braking or abrupt 

maneuvers, otherwise it may result in 

loss of control or vehicle rollover due 

to failure to operate this vehicle cor-

rectly.

Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. 

Because of its profile and higher cen-

ter of gravity, your vehicle is more sen-

sitive to side winds than an ordinary 

passenger car. Slowing down will allow 

you to have better control.

Do not drive horizontally across steep 

slopes. Driving straight up or straight 

down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any 

similar off-road vehicle) can tip over 

sideways much more easily than for-

ward or backward.

Off-road driving

WARNING

Off-road driving precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

Drive carefully when off the road. Do 

not take unnecessary risks by driving in 

dangerous places.

Do not grip the steering wheel spokes 

when driving off-road. A bad bump 

could jerk the wheel and injure your 

hands. Keep both hands and especially 

your thumbs on the outside of the rim.

246

4-6. Driving tips

LEXUS NX300 Owners Manu-

al_USA_M78285_en

WARNING

Always check your brakes for effec-

tiveness immediately after driving in 

sand, mud, water or snow.

After driving through tall grass, mud, 

rock, sand, water, etc., check that there 

is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, 

sand, etc. adhering or trapped to the 

underbody. Clear off any such matter 

from the underbody. If the vehicle is 

used with these materials trapped or 

adhering to the underbody, a break-

down or fire could occur.

When driving off-road or in rugged 

terrain, do not drive at excessive 

speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike 

objects, etc. This may cause loss of 

control or vehicle rollover causing 

death or serious injury. You are also 

risking expensive damage to your 

vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

NOTICE

To prevent water damage

Take all necessary safety measures to 

ensure that water damage to the engine 

or other components does not occur.

Water entering the engine air intake 

will cause severe engine damage.

Water entering the automatic trans-

mission will cause deterioration in shift 

quality, locking up of your transmission 

accompanied by vibration, and ulti-

mately damage.

Water can wash the grease from wheel 

bearings, causing rusting and prema-

ture failure, and may also enter the dif-

ferentials, transmission and transfer 

case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating 

qualities.

When you drive through water

If driving through water, such as when 

crossing shallow streams, first check the 

depth of the water and the bottom of the 

riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and 

avoid deep water.

Inspection after off-road driving

Sand and mud that has accumulated 

around brake discs may affect braking 

efficiency and may damage brake sys-

tem components.

Always perform a maintenance 

inspection after each day of off-road 

driving that has taken you through 

rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For 

scheduled maintenance information, 

refer to the “Warranty and Services 

Guide/Owner’s Manual Supplement/
Scheduled Maintenance
