Before performing emergency repair
Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or
screw from the tire. Remov-
ing the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency repair with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage,
move the vehicle until the
area of the puncture, if
known, is positioned at the
top of the tire.

When trouble arises
CT200h_OM_OM76067E_(EE)To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
Use the kit with the top facing
upward.
Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike
to 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 44 psi) or 400 kPa
(4.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 58 psi),
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
after the switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch
off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the infla-
tion procedure until the rec-
ommended tire inflation
pressure is reached.

• 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.
(P. 624)
Disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire and then pull
out the power plug from the power outlet socket.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immedi-
ately drive for about 5 km (3 miles).STEP 12
