Lexus NX350h (2022 year). Manual in english — page 5

Theft deterrent system

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system and alarm system to help
prevent vehicle theft.The immobilizer is a system which helps prevent intrusion into
the vehicle and starting of the hybrid system using keys other than a key registered
to this vehicle. Through a transponder chip built into the keys, registered keys can
be recognized over unauthorized copies.The alarm uses light and sound to give an
alert when an intruder is detected.

INFORMATION

Note for the entry function

The immobilizer system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not guarantee
absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

System maintenance

The immobilizer system and alarm system are maintenance-free.

Triggering of the alarm

The alarm may be triggered in the following situations:

The doors are unlocked using the mechanical key.
If a door is unlocked using the mechanical key while the alarm is set, a warning will
sound intermittently for approximately 10 seconds. If the alarm is not canceled or
stopped during this time, the warning pattern changes and the warning sounds for a
certain period of time.

A person inside the vehicle opens a door or the hood, or unlocks the vehicle using the
lock lever on an inside door handle.

The 12-volt battery is recharged or replaced when the vehicle is locked.

A locked door is unlocked or opened in any way other than using the entry function,
wireless remote control or mechanical key. (The doors will lock again automatically.)

The hood is opened from outside of the vehicle.

Precautions for loading luggage into the luggage compartment

WARNING

Storage precautions

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, may block the
driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or passengers, possibly causing an
accident.

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:

Receptacles containing gasoline

Aerosol cans

Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possible.

Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher than the seat-
backs.

When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly behind
the front seats.

Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment.
It is not designed for passengers.
They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened.

Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.

At the feet of the driver

On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)

On the luggage cover

On the instrument panel

On the dashboard

Secure all items in the occupant compartment.

Precautions regarding weight capacity and distribution

Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle weight rating.

Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load
capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration of
steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.

When using a roof luggage carrier (vehicles with roof rails)

Observe the following precautions:

1-5. Entering/exiting the vehicle and loading luggage

Befor

e driving

WARNING

Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear
axles.

If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width.

Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier.

Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of the
vehicle higher.
Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking, or abrupt maneuvers.
The vehicle may not be able to be controlled correctly and may rollover.

If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now
and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.

Do not exceed 176.3 lb. (80 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.

NOTICE

Do not set luggage on the moon roof and panoramic roof. Failure to observe so may lead
to cause damage.

Calculating cargo capacity

The cargo capacity can be calculated using the following formula.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) — (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit

1

Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.

2

Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.

3

Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.

4

The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity.For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)

5

Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage
load capacity calculated in Step 4.

1-5. Entering/exiting the vehicle and loading luggage

92

6

If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to
your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Vehicles without towing package: Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with
your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.

Calculation formula for your vehicle

A

Cargo capacity

B

Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight)

When 2 people with the combined weight of A lb. (kg) are riding in your vehicle,
which has a total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) of B lb. (kg), the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B

*2

lb. (kg) − A

*1

lb. (kg) = C

*3

lb. (kg)

In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of D lb. (kg) get
on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) − D

*4

lb. (kg) = E

*5

lb. (kg)

As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo
and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight
due to the additional occupants.
In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the
total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

Back door functions and operation

The back door can be locked/unlocked and opened/closed by the following
procedures.

*1 :

A = Weight of people

*2 :

B = Total load capacity

*3 :

C = Available cargo and luggage load
