What is ASC on Lexus NX?

About ASC on Lexus NX
The ASC (Active Sound Control) feature in Lexus vehicles is designed to adjust the sound of the engine and other systems according to the driving conditions and driver preferences. It can be activated in three different modes: Sport, Touring, and ECO.
Functionality of ASC
– In Sport mode, ASC amplifies the engine noise and gives it a more aggressive tone, enhancing the driving experience.
– In Touring mode, ASC provides a balanced sound experience, suitable for everyday driving.
– The ECO mode will be inactive when ASC is activated, as it is controlled by the same button as the ASC mode.
Controlling ASC
The ASC system can be operated using a dedicated knob labeled ASC. Turning up the knob adjusts the sound, adding a bit more growl to the driving experience. It’s worth noting that if the ASC mode is disabled, some systems will sound different than usual, which could be distracting for drivers accustomed to a certain noise level.
Additional Information
The ASC system uses a stereo component equalizer assembly to electronically generate a driving sound, and simulated engine sounds are output from the No. 1 speaker assembly.
If you’d like to experience the effect of Intake Sound Creator and Active Sound Control in action, you can visit your nearest Lexus center and request a test drive.
It’s important to note that the ASC feature is completely safe and has no adverse effects on any Lexus vehicle.
