Dinghy Towing - Lexus RX300 2001 Owner's Manual

Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility
it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into "P" and block the rear
wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water
accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may
freeze the parking brake, making it hard to release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering
difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you
carry some emergency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains,
window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,
jumper cables, etc.
Your vehicle can be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the
ground) from the front behind a motorhome.
Dinghy towing requires special equipment and
accessories. Please refer to your service outlet of the
motorhome
equipment.
Dinghy towing does not eliminate the possibility of
damage to your vehicle.
