2004 lexus crossover8/6/2023 There is a height-control valve between the compressor and each of the pneumatic cylinders, and a height sensor for each axle. Each of the cylinders integrates an air spring and shock absorber. The driver can select this mode while the vehicle is idling in the Park position, and the RX 330 can change to "Access" mode automatically when the ignition switch is turned off if the driver chooses.Ĭomponents of the air suspension system include a compressor/dryer unit mounted at the rear of the vehicle, a low-pressure tank under the floor and a pneumatic cylinder at each wheel. The air suspension's "Access" mode lowers ride height by 1.2 inches (30 mm) to make it easier to exit or load/unload the RX 330. For driving over rough roads or unpaved trails at speeds of 30 mph or under, the driver can select the "High" position, which increases ground clearance by 1.2 inches (30 mm) and also increases the angles of approach and departure. The air suspension system helps boost the light-duty off-road capability that some customers want without compromising the on-road performance and comfort that are cornerstones of the vehicle's appeal and success. A driver-selectable "Low" mode reduces ride height by 0.6 inches (15 mm), resulting in more responsive steering and better tracking through curves and further supports the vehicle's sedan-like driving characteristics. The vehicle returns to normal ride height when speed falls below about 50 mph (80 km/h). In "Normal" mode, the system lowers ride height by 0.3 inches (7 mm) when vehicle speed exceeds 62 mph (100 km/h) to reduce aerodynamic drag for better handling and ride comfort. Four driver-selectable height settings allow the driver to tailor the RX 330 to specific driving conditions or needs. Automatic leveling ensures generous suspension travel and helps to preserve ride comfort. It uses lasers to measure distance from a vehicle traveling ahead and maintain a set distance from it.Ī new optional air suspension system helps enhance handling, driving comfort, and versatility in the RX 330. In place of the standard cruise control system, customers can choose Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) like that offered on the Lexus LS 430 flagship sedan. As a result, the driver can see further into a curve. A central controller calculates the optimum lighting direction based on input from vehicle speed and steering angle and swivels the right and left headlights independently. Rain-sensing windshield wipers and High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights are expected in this segment, but Lexus goes further by offering an Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) for better illumination in turns and curves. The new RX 330 offers several options designed to help improve visibility for night driving and poor weather conditions. "Lexus customers expect any new technology to improve the driving experience, not to complicate or frustrate it," said Denny Clements Lexus group vice president and general manager.Īdaptive Headlight And Cruise Control Systems New technology added to the RX 330 was designed to make the vehicle easier and more enjoyable to drive and more comfortable for passengers. In addition, Lexus increased standard luxury content in the new RX 330 compared to the previous model while making new premium-level options available. The all-new 2004 Lexus RX 330 is equipped with driveline and safety systems that provide the RX driver and passengers with even greater peace of mind in all types of driving conditions. The front seats are positioned off the floor at a comfortable chair height and are snug and supportive and the back seats are roomy and comfortable.The vehicle that started it all is back with more luxury features than ever. It comes with a leather interior that feels soft and warm and inviting with splashes of real wood trim. The 2004 RX 330 is longer and wider than the model it replaces. As such, the RX 330 gives up some off-road ability but will do what most SUV buyers want: provide more cargo room than a sedan while conferring an over-the-traffic view and a sense of security from its elevated driving position. Lexus calls the RX 330 a luxury utility vehicle, and is bold enough to dub it an 'LUV.' The RX 330 falls into that category of SUV that is based on a unit-body car platform rather than a truck frame, and it could be called a crossover vehicle. (No one can.) Therefore, the RX 300 has been replaced by the all-new 2004 Lexus RX 330. But the RX 300 was introduced in 1998 and, with a growing number of challengers, Lexus can't afford to stand still. With the RX 300, Lexus has had the best-selling luxury SUV in not only America but the world.
