ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Lexus LS 600hL roadside assistance may be
handled like conventional Lexus vehicles except as
noted in the following pages.
Shift Lever
Similar to most Lexus vehicles, the LS 600hL uses a
gated shift lever as shown in the illustration.
However, the LS 600hL shift lever includes an S
position for 8 levels of engine braking.
Towing
The LS 600hL 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 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
luggage compartment, refer to the illustration on
page 26.
