7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If your vehicle needs to be towed

If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed
by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional or a commercial towing service,
using a lift-type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.

Before towing

The following may indicate a problem with your transmission.
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional before towing.

The engine is running but the vehicle will not move.

The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.

Emergency towing

If a tow truck is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may
be temporarily towed using a
cable or chain secured to the
emergency towing eyelet. This
should only be attempted on hard
surfaced roads for short dis-
tances at low speeds.
A driver must be in the vehicle
to steer and operate the brakes.
The vehicle's wheels, drive train,
axles, steering and brakes must
be in good condition.
