If your vehicle needs to be
towed
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend having your vehicle towed by
your Lexus dealer or commercial
towing service, using a wheel-lift
type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all
towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.
If towing your vehicle with a
wheel-lift type truck from the front,
the vehicle’s rear wheels and axles
must be in good conditions.
(
P.421, 419) If they are damaged,
use a towing dolly or flatbed truck.
For AWD models: If towing your
vehicle with a wheel-lift type truck,
use a towing dolly. (
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■
When towing the vehicle
2WD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with all
four wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the tires contacting
the ground, the drivetrain and related
parts may be damaged or an accident
may occur due to a change in direction
of the vehicle.
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with all
four wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the tires contacting
the ground, the drivetrain or related
parts may be damaged, the vehicle may
fly off the truck.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
LEXUS LS500 Owner's Manual
In the following situations, it is not pos-
sible to be towed by another vehicle
using cables or chains, as the rear
wheels may be locked due to the park-
ing lock. Contact your Lexus dealer or
commercial towing service.
There is a malfunction in the shift
control system. (
There is a malfunction in the engine
immobilizer system. (
P.62)
WARNING
■
While towing
●
When towing using cables or chains,
avoid sudden starts, etc. which place
excessive stress on the towing eyelets,
cables or chains. The towing eyelets,
cables or chains may become dam-
aged, broken debris may hit people,
and cause serious damage.
●
Vehicles with electronically modu-
lated air suspension: Make sure to dis-
able all functions of the vehicle height
control of the electronically modulated
air suspension. Otherwise, the vehicle
height may change and part of your
body may be caught under the vehicle,
possibly causing injury. (
●
Do not perform any of the following as
doing so may cause the parking lock
mechanism to engage, locking the
rear wheels and possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury:
• Unfasten the driver’s seat belt and
open the driver’s door.
• Turn the engine switch off.
■
Installing towing eyelets to the vehi-
cle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets
may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■
To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck
●
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear
when the engine switch is off. The
steering lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels
straight.
●
When raising the vehicle, ensure ade-
quate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle.
Without adequate clearance, the vehi-
cle could be damaged while being
towed.
■
To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either
from the front or rear.
■
To prevent damage to the vehicle
during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
■
Recreational towing (behind motor
home, etc.) (AWD models)
Never dinghy tow your vehicle to pre-
vent causing serious damage to the
AWD system and transmission.
