Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a nail or screw
passing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and disen-
able emergency 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
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 dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 minute after the
switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch off and then check the tire infla-
tion pressure. Being careful
not to over inflate, check and
repeat the inflation procedure
until the recommended tire
inflation pressure is reached.
• If the needle of the air pressure 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 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 autho-
rized 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. 5 6 0 )

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 cannot
be repaired. Contact any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
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. Pro-
ceed to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level: Proceed to step
.

■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 vehi-
cle. 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 operatio n noise is produced. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
■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 se veral seconds, then turn it off. Check that
the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( →P. 5 8 5 )
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compressor switch on
again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recommended pressure 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.
