shown in the illustration. However, the LS 600h L shift lever includes an S
position for 8 levels of engine braking.
Towing
The LS 600h L is a mechanical all-wheel drive vehicle and it must be towed
with all four wheels off the ground. Failure to do so may cause serious
damage to vehicle components.
•
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 under the cover 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. The eyelet is located with the tools in the
trunk, refer to the illustration on page 30.
