Roadside Assistance
Roadside assistance for the RX 450h may be handled like conventional Lexus
vehicles except as noted in the following pages.
Lexus Roadside Assistance is available during the basic warranty period by
contacting:

Shift Lever
Similar to many Lexus vehicles, the RX 450h uses a gated shift lever as
shown in the illustration. However, the RX 450h shift lever includes an
S position, allowing the selection of 6 levels of engine braking.
Towing
RX450h models with all wheel drive must be towed with all four wheels off
the ground. Models with front wheel drive must be towed with the front
(drive) wheels off the ground. Failure to do so may cause serious damage to
vehicle components. If it is not possible to determine whether the vehicle is
AWD or FWD, tow the vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
•
The vehicle may be shifted out of
P
ark into
N
eutral 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
P
ark, a shift lock release button
is provided under the cover 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 or rear hooks. This should only be attempted on hard, paved roads
for short distances at low speeds. The eyelet is located with the tools in
the cargo area of the vehicle, refer to the illustration on page 31.
