WHEEL-LIFT TOWING PROCEDURE:
If a wheel-lift is used, the procedures shown below must be used with no exceptions.
CAUTION: The 2013 Lexus GS Series vehicles are available in a rear wheel drive or
an all wheel drive configuration. The drive wheels MUST be lifted during towing to
prevent damage to the drive system on this vehicle.
The 2013 Lexus GS Series vehicles have limited clearance on the front valance under the
front bumper so it is recommended that a towing dolly should be installed under the
trailing wheels when towing these vehicles with a wheel lift.
To tow the GS Series with a wheel-lift and dolly, observe the following:
Secure the one set of wheels firmly to the wheel-lift and the other set of wheels
firmly to the dolly.
After loading the GS Series onto the dolly and wheel-lift, place the transmission
selector in Park and set the parking brake.
Use a steering wheel securing device to prevent possible excessive load on the
steering column lock.
Attach safety chains and tow lights to the vehicle being careful not to damage the
painted surface with the tow lights.
Ensure that the ignition switch is turned OFF to prevent unnecessary battery
drain.
