From front
Use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.
NOTICE
Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission
from the front with rear wheels on the ground, as this
may cause serious damage to the transmission.

From rear
Place the ignition key in the “ACC” position.
NOTICE
Do not tow with the key removed or in the “LOCK”
position, as the steering lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.

If you cannot shift the selector lever, use the shift lock
override button as follows:

Turn the ignition key to “LOCK” or “ACC”. Make sure the
parking brake is applied. Pry up the cover with a
flat−bladed screwdriver or equivalent.
2
Insert your finger, the screwdriver or equivalent into the
hole to push down the shift lock override button. You can
shift the selector lever while pushing the button.
For your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed.
Be sure to have the system checked by your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
