LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50D61E)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When transporting the vehicle
Caution while towing
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing eyelet and the cables or chains. Always be
cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
If the hybrid system is off, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
Installing a towing eyelet to the vehicle
Make sure that the towing eyelet is installed securely.
If not securely installed, the towing eyelet may come loose during towing.
Be sure to transport the vehicle with all
four wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the wheels contact-
ing the ground, the drivetrain and related
parts may be damaged or the motor may
generate electricity. If the motor gener-
ates electricity, depending on the state of
the damage or malfunction, a fire may
occur due to a short circuit.
