If your vehicle needs to be towed
Before towing
The following may indicate a problem with your hybrid transmis-
sion. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional before towing.
The hybrid system is operating but the vehicle will not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
If there is a malfunction in the P position control system, the smart
entry & start system or the immobilizer system, or if the 12-volt
battery is discharged, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front
wheels on the ground, as the front wheels may be locked. In this
case, transport the vehicle with both front wheels or all four wheels
lifted.
If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional or a commercial towing service, using a lift-
type truck or flat bed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/provin-
cial and local laws.

CAUTION
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 eyelets and the cables or chains. Always
be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
Do not turn the “POWER” switch off.
This may lead to an accident as the front wheels will be locked by the
parking lock.
If the hybrid system is off, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing. This
may lead to accidents that cause serious injury or even death.
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the vehicle
When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate 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 causing serious damage to the hybrid transmission when towing
using a wheel-lift type truck
Never tow this vehicle from the front with the rear wheels on the ground.
To prevent body damage when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
To prevent causing serious damage to the hybrid transmission in emergency
towing
Never tow a vehicle from the rear with four wheels on the ground. This may
cause serious damage to the hybrid transmission.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
CT200h_EE (OM76041E)
Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is
off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
The hybrid system may not start. (P. 499)
If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not
be possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the
vehicle cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the
front wheels will be locked. (P. 551)
When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, start the hybrid system and
confirm that the shift position can be changed to each position using the
shift position indicator.
Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the 12-volt battery may discharge, and the hybrid system may be unable to
start. (The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while the hybrid system
is operating.)
