SEA (Safe Exit Assist)

SEA in the Lexus NX uses the BSM (Blind Spot Monitor System) to detect vehicles (including bicycles) approaching from the rear when exiting the vehicle. If SEA determines a collision with an opened door or exiting occupants is a possibility, an indicator in the door mirror lights up to alert occupants. In addition, if an occupant tries to open a door, the e-latch system cancels door unlatch operation. Occupants are alerted by flashing indicators in the door mirror, the multi-information display, and a buzzer.

Emergency Steering Assist

If the Emergency Steering Assist system in the Lexus NX F Sport 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.

The front seats in the Lexus NX F Sport are equipped with SRS airbags that deploy in response to impact force from the front of the vehicle. An SRS knee airbag for the driver’s seat cushions impact force and disperses it throughout the body by arresting movement of the lower limbs. SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags protect occupants in a side collision.
