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 road.

■

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

ate effectively when

●

Do not overly rely on the 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.

Driving

WARNING

■

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.

■

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. (

4-6.Driving tips

When using Eco mode, the torque cor-
responding to the accelerator pedal
depression amount can be generated
more smoothly than it is in normal con-
ditions. In addition, the operation of the
air conditioning system (heating/cool-
ing) will be minimized, improving the
fuel economy. (

P.248)

The Eco-friendly driving is possible by
keeping the indicator needle of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area.
(

P.82)

Shift the shift lever to D when stopped
at a traffic light, or driving in heavy traf-
fic, etc. Shift the shift lever to P when
parking. When using the N, there is no
positive effect on fuel consumption. In
the N, the gasoline engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated.
Also, when using the air conditioning
system, etc., the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power is consumed.

 Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid

abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.

 Avoid repeated acceleration.

Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery)
power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be
restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.

Make sure to operate the brakes gently
and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.

Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while
avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips

For economical and ecological
driving, pay attention to the follow-
ing points:

Using Eco mode

Use of Hybrid System Indicator

4-6. Driving tips

LEXUS NX300h Owners Manu-

al_USA_M78287_en

Driving

Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.

Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine
will not automatically cut out until it and
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding over-
use of the heater.

Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire infla-
tion pressure can cause poor fuel
economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel economy.
Use tires that are appropriate for the
season.

Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.

Since the gasoline engine starts up and
cuts out automatically when cold,
warming up the engine is unnecessary.
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess
fuel consumption.

 Use fluids that are appropriate to

the prevailing outside temperatures.

• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid

 Have a service technician inspect

the condition of the 12-volt battery.

 Have the vehicle fitted with four

snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires

Ensure that all tires are the same size and
brand, and that chains match the size of the
tires.

: Tire chains cannot be mounted on the

225/60R18 tires.

Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a window

or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water

Winter driving tips

Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
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.

Before driving the vehicle

257

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.177)

 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.

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.

 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.

 Avoid driving on very steep, slippery

roads and other surfaces, such as
sand, where the tires are liable to
lose traction. Your vehicle may not
perform as well as conventional
AWD on-road vehicles on these
surfaces.

■

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

●

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.

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 hybrid

battery (traction battery), hybrid system

or other components does not occur.

●

Water entering the engine compart-

ment may cause severe damage to the

hybrid system. Water entering the inte-

rior may cause the hybrid battery

stowed under the rear seats to short

circuit.

●

Water entering the hybrid transmis-

sion and rear electric motor (traction

motor) will cause deterioration in

transmission quality. The malfunction

indicator may come on, and the vehi-

cle may not be drivable.

●

Water can wash the grease from wheel

bearings, causing rusting and prema-

ture failure, and may also enter the

hybrid transmission 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/
