Roadside Assistance - Lexus GS 450h Manual

Roadside Assistance

Lexus GS450h roadside assistance may be handled like conventional Lexus
vehicles except as noted in the following pages.
Lexus Roadside Assistance is available during the basic warranty period by
contacting:
United States: (800) 255-3987, Canada: (800) 265-3987
Shift Lever
Similar to most Lexus vehicles, the GS450h uses a gated shift lever as shown
in the illustration. However, the GS450h shift lever includes an S position for
6 levels of engine braking.
Towing
The GS450h is a rear drive vehicle and it must be towed with the rear wheels
off the ground. Failure to do so may cause serious damage to the Hybrid
Synergy Drive components.
•
A flat bed trailer is the preferred method of towing.
•
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, be sure to
release the steering lock by turning the ignition-on.
•
The vehicle may be shifted out of Park into Neutral by turning the
ignition-on, depressing the brake, then moving the gated shift lever to N.
•
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of Park, a shift lock release button
is provided near the shift lever as shown in the illustration.
•
If a tow truck is not available, in an emergency the vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency
towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard, paved roads for
short distances at low speeds.
