• If the needle of the air pres-
sure gauge reaches the red
zone (450 kPa [4.5 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 65 psi] or more),
there may be a malfunction
in the tire or in the kit itself.
Stop operation immediately.
• If the tire inflation pressure
is still lower than the recom-
mended level after inflation
for 10 minutes with the
switch on, the tire is too
damaged to be repaired.
Turn the compressor switch
off and contact any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the recommended
level, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure.

CAUTION
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your
vehicle
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injuries such as burns.
Check that the indicator on the “POWER” switch and the “READY” indi-
cator are off.
For vehicles with a hybrid system, there are times when the gasoline
engine automatically starts to run or the cooling fans suddenly start to
operate. Do not touch or approach the rotating parts of the belt or fans.
Doing so may lead to fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in
injury.
Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radi-
ator are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
NOTICE
When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Wait until the hybrid system has cooled down before adding engine/power
control unit coolant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid sys-
tem too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.
