If your vehicle needs to be towed
Before towing
The following may indicate a problem with your transmission (RX350) or
hybrid transmission (RX450h). Contact your Lexus dealer before tow-
ing.
● The engine (RX350) or hybrid system (RX450h) is operating but the
vehicle will not move.
● The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by your
Lexus dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type truck or a
flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/provincial
and local laws.
2WD models: 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.
852, 855)
If they are damaged, use a towing dolly or flatbed truck.
AWD models: If towing your vehicle with a wheel-lift type truck, use a tow-
ing dolly. (P. 852, 855)
