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.

From the front

Use a towing dolly under the rear 
wheels.

From the rear

Use a towing dolly under the front 
wheels.

When using a flat-bed truck to trans-
port the vehicle, use tire strapping 
belts. Refer to the owner's manual of 
the flat-bed truck for the tire strapping 
method.
In order to suppress vehicle movement 
during transportation, set the parking 
brake and turn the engine switch off.

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 
and operate the brakes. The vehicle’s 
wheels, drive train, axles, steering and 
brakes must be in good condition.

dealer.

WARNING

■

If both the ABS and the brake system 

warning lights remain on

Stop your vehicle in a safe place immedi-

ately and contact your Lexus dealer. The 

vehicle will become extremely unstable 

during braking, and the ABS system may 

fail, which could cause an accident 

resulting in death or serious injury.

■

When the electric power steering 

system warning light comes on

The steering wheel may become 

extremely heavy.

When steering wheel operations are 

heavier than usual, grip the steering 

wheel firmly and operate it using more 

force than usual.

■

If the tire pressure warning light 

comes on

Be sure to observe the following precau-

tions. Failure to do so could cause a loss 

of vehicle control and result in death or 

serious injury.

Vehicles with a spare tire

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe place as 

soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-

tion pressure immediately.

WARNING

●

If the tire pressure warning light comes 

on even after tire inflation pressure 

adjustment, it is probable that you have 

a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, 

change it with the spare tire and have 

the flat tire repaired by the nearest 

Lexus dealer.

●

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and brak-

ing. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you 

could lose control of the steering 

wheel or the brakes.

Vehicles with an emergency tire punc-

ture repair kit

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe place as 

soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-

tion pressure immediately.

●

If the tire pressure warning light comes 

on even after tire inflation pressure 

adjustment, it is probable that you have 

a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, 

repair the flat tire by using emergency 

tire puncture repair kit.

●

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and brak-

ing. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you 

could lose control of the steering 

wheel or the brakes.

■

If a blowout or sudden air leakage 

should occur

The tire pressure warning system may 

not activate immediately.

■

Maintenance of the tires

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-

vided), should be checked monthly when 

cold and inflated to the inflation pressure 

recommended by the vehicle manufac-

turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-

tion pressure label (tire and load 

information label). (If your vehicle has 

tires of a different size than the size indi-

cated on the vehicle placard or tire infla-

tion pressure label [tire and load 

information label], you should determine 

the proper tire inflation pressure for 

those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle 

has been equipped with a tire pressure 

monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure 

warning system) that illuminates a low 

tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warn-

ing light) when one or more of your tires 

is significantly under-inflated. Accord-

ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale 

(tire pressure warning light) illuminates, 

you should stop and check your tires as 

soon as possible, and inflate them to the 

proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-

cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire 

to overheat and can lead to tire failure. 

Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-

ciency and tire tread life, and may affect 

the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-

ity.

Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure 

warning system) is not a substitute for 

proper tire maintenance, and it is the 

driver’s responsibility to maintain correct 

tire pressure, even if under-inflation has 

not reached the level to trigger illumina-

tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale 

(tire pressure warning light).

Your vehicle has also been equipped with 

a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 

malfunction indicator to indicate when 

the system is not operating properly. The 

TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 

malfunction indicator is combined with 

the low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-

sure warning light). When the system 

detects a malfunction, the telltale will 

flash for approximately one minute and 

then remain continuously illuminated. 

This sequence will continue upon subse-

quent vehicle start-ups as long as the 

malfunction exists. When the malfunction 

indicator is illuminated, the system may 

not be able to detect or signal low tire 

pressure as intended.

308

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 

malfunctions may occur for a variety of 

reasons, including the installation of 

replacement or alternate tires or wheels 

on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS 

(tire pressure warning system) from func-

tioning properly. Always check the 

TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 

malfunction telltale after replacing one 

or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to 

ensure that the replacement or alternate 

tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire 

pressure warning system) to continue to 

function properly.

NOTICE

■

To ensure the tire pressure warning 

system operates properly

Do not install tires with different specifi-

cations or makers, as the tire pressure 

warning system may not operate prop-

erly.
