Roadside Assistance - Lexus CT200h Hybrid 2011 Emergency Response Manual

Roadside Assistance

The CT200h utilizes an electronic shift selector and a P switch for
selecting park (P). If the 12 Volt auxiliary battery is discharged or
disconnected, the vehicle cannot be started nor can it be shifted out of
park (P). If discharged, the 12 Volt auxiliary battery can be jump
started to allow vehicle starting and shifting out of park (P). Most other
roadside assistance operations may be handled like conventional Lexus
vehicles.
Lexus Roadside Assistance is available during the basic warranty period by
contacting:
United States: (800) 255-3987, Canada: (800) 265-3987
Towing
The CT200h is a front wheel drive vehicle and it must be towed with the front
wheels off the ground. Failure to do so may cause serious damage to Lexus
Hybrid Drive components.

The vehicle may be shifted out of park (P) into neutral (N) when in either
the ignition-on or READY-on mode. To select neutral (N), it is necessary
to hold the shift selector in the N position for approximately 0.5 seconds.

If the 12 Volt auxiliary battery is discharged, the vehicle will not start and
shifting out of park (P) is not possible. There is no manual override
except to jump start the vehicle, refer to Jump Starting on page 31.

If a tow truck is not available, in an emergency the vehicle may be moved
at low speeds (18 mph (30 km/h)). The eyelet is located with the tools in
the cargo area of the vehicle, refer to the illustration on page 30.
