open the driver’s door using the
smart access system with push-but-
ton start or wireless remote control.
The driving position will move to the
recorded position (not including the steer-
ing wheel). However, th e seat will move to
a position slightly behind the recorded
position in order to make entering the vehi-
cle easier.
If the driving position is in a position that
has already been recorded, the seat and
outside rear view mirrors will not move.
2 Turn the power switch to ACCES-
SORY mode or ON mode, or fas-
ten a seat belt.
The seat and steering wheel will move to
the recorded position.
■Recalling the driving position using the
memory recall function
●Different driving positions can be regis-
tered for each electronic key. Therefore,
the driving position that is recalled may
be different depending on the key being
carried.
●If a door other than the driver’s door is
unlocked with the smart access system
with push-button start, the driving posi-
tion cannot be recalled. In this case, press
the driving position button which has
been set.
■Customization
The unlock door sett ings of the memory
recall function can be customized. (Cus-

To disable this function, move the mirror
select switch to the neutral position
(between “L” or “R”)
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror
angle to a desired position to set the mirror
angle used when the vehicle is reversing.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and
the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-
orized angle whenever the shift lever is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of
the mirror is linked to the normal position
(angle adjusted with th e shift lever in other
than R). Therefore, if the normal position is
changed after adjustment, the tilt position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-
just the angle in reversing.
When used in cold weather, the door mirror
could be frozen and may not automatically
point the mirror surface downward. In this
event, remove any ice and snow from the
mirror surface.
1 Folds the mirrors
2 Extends the mirrors
Putting the outside rear view mirror folding
switch in the neutral position sets the mir-
rors to automatic mode. Automatic mode
allows the folding or extending of the mir-
rors to be linked to locking/unlocking of
the doors.
■When using in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold
weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not
be possible. In this event, after removing any
ice and snow from the door mirror, operate
the mirror using manual mode or move it by
hand.

brake pedal.
2 Set the parking brake ( P.178),
and shift the shift lever to P
( P.173).
3 Press the power switch to stop the

Lock the door, making sure that you
have the electronic key on your
person.
If parking on a hill, block the wheels as
needed.
■Starting off on an uphill
1 With the brake pedal depressed,
shift the shift lever to D. ( P.173)
2 Pull the parking brake switch and
parking brake is set manually.
(P.178)
3 Release the brake pedal and gently

(P.178)
■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate.
(  P.250)
■For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybr id vehicles are similar
to conventional vehicles, and it is necessary
to refrain from activi ties such as sudden
acceleration. ( P.254)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because
visibility will be reduced, the windows
may become fogged-up, and the road
will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on
an expressway in the rain, because there
may be a layer of wa ter between the tires
and the road surface, preventing the
steering and brakes from operating prop-
erly.
Driving the vehicle
The specified procedures should be
observed to ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure

1544-1. Before driving
LEXUS NX300h Owners Manu-
al_USA_M78287_en
WARNING
●Always apply the parking brake, shift
the shift lever to P, stop the hybrid sys-
tem and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended
while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift
lever in P but the parking brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while
the “READY” indicator is illuminated
or immediately after turning the hybrid
system off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off. Other-
wise, if you accidentally move the shift
lever or depress the accelerator pedal,
this could cause an accident or fire due
to hybrid system overheating. Addition-
ally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may col-
lect and enter the ve hicle, leading to
death or a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more
cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the
brakes are wet, and this may cause one
side of the vehicle to brake differently
than the other side. Also, the parking
brake may not securely hold the vehi-
cle.
●If the electronically controlled brake
system does not operate, do not follow
other vehicles closely and avoid hills or
sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but
the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
●The brake system consists of 2 or more
individual hydraulic systems; if one of
the systems fails, the other(s) will still
operate. In this case, the brake pedal
should be depressed more firmly than
usual and the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively when
any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehi-
cle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may
damage the driveline components or
propel the vehicle forward or backward,
causing an accident.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain the hybrid
system output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in
either direction and hold it there for an
extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power
steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road,
drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the
vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the fol-
lowing situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the
brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehi-
cle.
