Trailer towing (vehicles with towing package)
Weight limits
Check the allowable towing capacity, GVM (Gross Vehicle
Mass), MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle Capacity), and per-
missible draw bar load before towing. (P. 926)
Towing hitch/bracket
Lexus recommends the use of the Lexus hitch/bracket for your
vehicle. Other products of a suitable nature and comparable qual-
ity may also be used.
To prevent an accident
The handling of the vehicle will feel different when towing a
trailer. Beware of the 3 most common causes of towing-related
accidents: driver error, excessive speed, and overloading.
The strain of towing a trailer will have a negative impact on the
running performance, handling, fuel consumption and endurance
of your vehicle. Use the vehicle features in the correct manner and
operate the vehicle with care for safer driving and optimal comfort.
Damage and/or malfunctions that occur as a result of towing per-
formed for commercial purposes are not covered by the Lexus war-
ranty.
Ask your local authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional for further details before tow-
ing, as there are additional legal requirements in some countries.
