PDA discreetly and gently supports driving in situations such as on general roads, contributing to the driver’s peace of mind. It provides the following support to enable appropriate driving operations; steering / deceleration support in response to pedestrians / bicyclists / parked vehicles, deceleration support in response to preceding vehicles / corners, and steering assist.
If the system detects a vehicle approaching from the front left or right when entering an intersection, it will attract the driver’s attention with an animated warning in the colour Head-up Display showing the direction the vehicle is approaching from. If the driver continues to proceed despite the approaching vehicle, it will further prompt the driver with a buzzer and warnings on the display.
When driving on expressways or automobile-only roads with lane lines using Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, the system helps assist the steering operation required to keep the vehicle in its lane. Enhanced recognition and control performance enable assistance on gentle curves, smoothly keeping the vehicle in the centre of its lane with minimal swaying.
In addition to maintaining a constant speed, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera sensors to detect a vehicle driving ahead and maintain an appropriate distance between vehicles.
If the Emergency Steering Assist system detects a collision with a vehicle, motorcycle, pedestrian or bicyclist ahead is likely, there is sufficient space for the vehicle to be steered within its lane and the driver has begun an evasive steering maneuver, it assists steering to help enhance vehicle stability and prevent lane departure. In addition, even if the driver doesn’t move the steering wheel, an optional active steering function supports collision avoidance by steering the vehicle within its lane while gently braking.
When the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera sensors detect a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcycle ahead and determine that a collision is likely, it alerts the driver with a buzzer and warning on the display. If the driver activates the brakes, pre-collision brake assist supplements the force being applied to the pedal. If the driver cannot depress the brake pedal, the system automatically activates pre-collision braking to help avoid a collision or mitigate the impact force.
The heating area and heat distribution of the seats were optimized to provide pleasant warmth across the whole seat cushion. Suction type seat ventilation is available on the front and outboard rear seats. Switches for adjusting the seat heater and ventilation in the rear seats are in the console rear end panel.
Lexus Climate Concierge coordinates with the auto air conditioning to automatically control the front seat heaters and steering wheel heater when the heater is on, or the front seat ventilation when the air conditioning is on, providing optimal comfort for each occupant.
Since it pioneered high-end audio 50 years ago, Mark Levinson has kept evolving, and Lexus is the only premium car brand equipped with its audio systems. Based on the Mark Levinson PurePlay concept to create a pure, distortion-free sound, the RX is equipped with 9 Unity speakers positioned at the same height around the cabin to create a live stage effect that extends from front to back and left to right, and clear unified reproduction of mid- and high-ranges.
Set inside the front box with lid, it enables wireless charging of Qi-compatible smartphones and electronic devices simply by placing them on the charger tray.
