necessary)
If signs other than speed limit signs are rec-
ognized, they will be displayed in an over-
lapping stack under th e current speed limit
sign.
The following types of road signs,
RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era and/or navigation system
(when speed limit information is
available) to provide information to
the driver via the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle
is being driven over the speed limit,
performing prohibited actions, etc.
in relation to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver using a
notification display and notifica-
tion buzzer.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system.
RSA is a system which supports the
driver by providing information, but it is
not a replacement for a driver’s own
vision and awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to the
traffic rules.

In the following situations, the RSA sys-
tem will notify the driver.
 When the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed notification threshold of
the speed limit sign displayed, the
sign display will be emphasized and
a buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system recognizes a
do not enter sign and determines
that your vehicle has entered a no-
entry area, the displayed sign will
flash and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, a notifica-
tion function may not operate properly.

be detected and displayed (if positioned
in sight of the front camera) while travel-
ing on a roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load.
●The surrounding brightness is not suffi-
cient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is
recognized.
●The speed information displayed on the
meter and that displayed on the naviga-
tion system may be different due to the
navigation system using map data.

off, push the lever up.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off.1
Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake pedal
does not cancel the setting.)
2Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
An example of this would be if another
driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.

Lexus dealer.
■Sensor detectio n information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle’s bumper.
●Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an
obstacle. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the screen may show an abnormal
display, or obstacles may not be
detected.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• A backlit license plate, license plate holder, etc., are installed.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low- ered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are
instances in which, because of their shape,
signs and other objects may be judged by a
sensor to be closer than they are.
●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro- jecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle
and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between
obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the
obstacle will come within the sensor’s
detection areas befo re the display is
shown and the buzzer sounds.
• Thin posts or object s lower than the sen-
sor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air flow
noise of the air conditioning system.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
(Customizable features: P.441)
WARNING
■When using the intuitive parking
assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).

2504-5. Using the driving support systems
LEXUS NX300h Owners Manual_USA_M78530_en
■Detection range of the sensorsApproximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 1.9 ft. (65 cm)
The diagram shows the detection range of
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot
detect obstacles that are extremely close
to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object etc.
■Distance display
Sensors that detect an obstacle will illu-
minate continuously or blink. (As the
distance to the object becomes less
than 1.0 ft. (30 cm), the distance seg-
ments may blink.)
WARNING
●The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer.
●The intuitive parking assist operation
display flashes, and a buzzer sounds
when no obstacles are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides
with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
●If the bumper collides with something.
●If the display shows continuously with-
out beeping, except when the buzzer
mute switch has been turned on.
●If a display error occurs, first check the
sensor.
If the error occurs even if there is no
ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
