When trouble arises
• If the needle of the air pressure gauge reaches the red zone (450
kPa [4.5 kgf/cm2 or bar, 65 psi] or more), there may be a malfunc-
tion in the tire or in the kit itself. Stop operation immediately.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the recommended
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 authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the recommended level, let
out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. (P. 617)
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, immediately drive
for about 5 km (3 miles).

After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and reconnect the compressor.
Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture can-
not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped profes-
sional.
If the tire inflation pressure is between 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
19 psi) and a point below the recommended level: The tire can be
repaired. Proceed to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level: Proceed to
step .

When trouble arises
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3
miles) and then perform step .
Store the kit and then attach the 2
stickers as shown.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden
braking and sharp turns, drive care-
fully at under 80 km/h (50 mph) to
the nearest authorized Lexus dealer,
tire dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional for tire repair or replacement.
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire sidewall
When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
When the wheel is damaged
When two or more tires have been punctured
When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire

Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle. The
sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for
replacement.
The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only
once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant in the bottle and other
parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30C (-22F) to
60C (140F).
The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on
your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the original ones, or
for any other purposes.
If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the stain
may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe away the
sealant with a wet cloth.
During operation of the kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not
indicate a malfunction.

When trouble arises
If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended level
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the hose
and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it off.
Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. (P. 645)
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recommended pres-
sure is reached. Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air
release cap into the valve to let some air
out.

Precautions for use of the sealant
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, con-
sume as much water as possible, then immediately consult a doctor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with water.
If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.

When fixing the flat tire
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or
sealant may be sprayed out.
If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the
hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the
repair operation immediately.
The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate the
compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit
during and after operation.
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one
indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located,
such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air bag from
operating properly.
Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning
and cornering.
If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 19 psi) or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.

When trouble arises
NOTICE
When performing an emergency repair
Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is
removed, repair by the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be possible.
The kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the kit is not exposed to water, such
as when it is being used in the rain.
Do not put the kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may occur.
Use the kit with the top facing upward. The kit cannot work properly if it is
laid on its side.
Handling the emergency tire puncture repair kit
The compressor power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the compressor to any other source.
If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit may deteriorate. Take care not to allow
gasoline to contact it.
Store the kit in its assigned place out of reach of children.
Do not disassemble or modify the kit. Do not subject parts such as the air
pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters (vehicles
with the tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire.
