Emergency flashers

●

If the emergency flashers are used for a

long time while the engine is not running,

the battery may discharge.

●

If any of the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

or in the event of a strong rear impact, the

emergency flashers will turn on automati-

cally. The emergency flashers will turn off

automatically after operating for approxi-

mately 20 minutes. To manually turn the

emergency flashers off, press the switch

twice. (The emergency flashers may not

turn on automatically depending on the

force of the impact and conditions of the

collision.)

Steadily step on the brake pedal
with both feet and firmly depress it.

Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly

as this will increase the effort required to

slow the vehicle.

Shift the shift lever to N.

 If the window can not be opened

using the power window switch,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to the
point that the water pressure inside
of the vehicle equals the water pres-
sure outside of the vehicle, and then
open the door and exit the vehicle.

WARNING

■

If the engine has to be turned off while

driving

Power assist for the brakes and steering

wheel will be lost, making the brake

pedal harder to depress and the steering

wheel heavier to turn. Decelerate as

much as possible before turning off the

engine.

If the vehicle is trapped in
rising water

In the event the vehicle is sub-
merged in water, remain calm and
perform the following.

WARNING

■

Using an emergency hammer

for

emergency escape

The rear side windows and rear window

of this vehicle can be shattered by an
emergency hammer

used for emer-

gency escape, however, since the wind-
shield and front side windows

are

laminated glass they can not be shattered
by an emergency hammer

: Contact your Lexus dealer or after-

market accessory manufacturer for
further information about an emer-
gency hammer.

: Vehicles with laminated glass

352

WARNING

■

Escaping the vehicle from the window

There are cases where escaping the

vehicle from the window is not possible

due to seating position, passenger body

type, etc.
When using an emergency hammer,

consider your seat location and the size

of the window opening to ensure that the

opening is accessible and large enough

to escape.

7-2.Steps to take in an emergency

The following may indicate a problem
with your transmission. Contact your
Lexus dealer or commercial towing
service before towing.
 The engine is running but the vehi-

cle does not move.

 The vehicle makes an abnormal

sound.

If your vehicle needs to be
towed

If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend having your vehicle towed by
your Lexus dealer or commercial
towing service, using a wheel-lift
type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all
towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

When towing the vehicle

Be sure to transport the vehicle with the

front wheels raised or with all four wheels

raised off the ground. If the vehicle is

towed with the front wheels contacting

the ground, the drivetrain and related

parts may be damaged.

■

While towing

●

When towing using cables or chains,

avoid sudden starts, etc. which place

excessive stress on the towing eyelets,

cables or chains. The towing eyelets,

cables or chains may become dam-

aged, broken debris may hit people,

and cause serious damage.

●

Do not turn the engine switch off.

There is a possibility that the steering

wheel is locked and cannot be oper-

ated.

■

Installing towing eyelets to the vehi-

cle

Make sure that towing eyelets are

installed securely.

If not securely installed, towing eyelets

may come loose during towing.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the vehicle

when towing using a wheel-lift type

truck

●

Do not tow the vehicle from the rear

when the engine switch is OFF.

The steering lock mechanism is not

strong enough to hold the front wheels

straight.

●

When raising the vehicle, ensure ade-

quate ground clearance for towing at

the opposite end of the raised vehicle.

Without adequate clearance, the vehi-

cle could be damaged while being

towed.

■

To prevent damage to the vehicle

when towing with a sling-type truck

Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either

from the front or rear.

■

To prevent damage to the vehicle

during emergency towing

Do not secure cables or chains to the

suspension components.

Situations when it is necessary to
contact dealers before towing

354

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Do not tow with a sling-type truck to
prevent body damage.



From the front

Release the parking brake.



From the rear

Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.

If your vehicle is transported by a flat-
bed truck, it should be tied down at the
locations shown in the illustration.

If you use chains or cables to tie down
your vehicle, the angles shaded in
black must be 45°.
Do not overly tighten the tie downs or
the vehicle may be damaged.

If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using cables or chains
secured to the emergency towing eye-
lets. This should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for at most 50
miles (80 km) at under 18 mph (30
km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
