The vehicle is on an inclined surface.●
The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s
magnetic field is subj ect to interference
by artificial magnetic fields (under-
ground car park/parking lot, under a
steel tower, between buildings, roof car
park/parking lot, near an intersection,
near a large vehicle, etc.).●
The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near
the inside rear view mirror.)●
The 12-volt battery has been discon-
nected.●
A door is open.
■
Deviation
The direction display deviates from the
true direction determined by the
earth’s magnetic field. The amount of
deviation varies depending on the geo-
graphic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundar- ies shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect cali-
bration, refer to “D eviation calibration”.
■
Deviation calibration
1 Stop the vehicle.WARNING■
While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the dis-
play only when the vehicle is stopped. NOTICE■
To avoid compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal
objects near the inside rear view mirror.
Doing this may cause the compass sen-
sor to malfunction. ■
To ensure normal operation of the
compass ●
Do not perform a circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to
interference by artificial magnetic
fields. ●
During calibration, do not operate
electric systems (moon roof, power
windows, etc.) as they may interfere
with the calibration.

314 6-1. Maintenance and care
LEXUS NX300h Owners Manu-
al_USA_OM78212U 6-1.Maintenance and care
 Working from top to bottom, liber-
ally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use car
wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates. If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■
Self-restoring coat
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-
ing that is resistant to small surface
scratches caused in a car wash etc.
●
The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from
when the vehicle is delivered from the
plant.
●
The restoration time differs depending on
the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature. The restoration time may
become shorter when the coating is
warmed by applying warm water.
●
Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,
etc. cannot be restored.
●
Do not use wax that contain abrasives. ■
Automatic car washes ●
Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors
• Turn off the power back door (if
equipped)
Start washing from the front of the vehicle.
Extend the mirrors before driving.●
Brushes used in automatic car washes
may scratch the vehicl e surface and harm
your vehicle’s paint. ●
Rear spoiler may not be washable in
some automatic car washes. There may
also be an increased risk of damage to
vehicle. ■
High pressure car washes ●
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash
to come within close proximity of the win-
dows. ●
Before using the car wash, check that the
fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed
properly. ■
Note for a smart access system with
push-button start ●
If the door handle becomes wet while the
electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6
ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehi-
cle while the vehicle is being washed.
(Take care to ensure that the key is not
stolen.) ●
If the electronic key is inside the vehicle
and a door handle becomes wet during a
car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the
vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the
doors.
●
Set the electronic key to battery-saving
mode to disable the smart access system
with push-button start. ( → P.123)
■
Aluminum wheels

Remove any dirt immediately by using a
neutral detergent.
●
Wash detergent off with water immedi-
ately after use.

To protect the paint from damage, make
sure to observe the following precau-
tions.Cleaning and protecting the
