■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is shown on the bottle. The seal-
ant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for replace-
ment.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only once
to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used and need to be pur-
chased, 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 -40 °C (-40 °F) to
60 °C (140 °F).
●The repair 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 repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use the emergency tire puncture re pair kit to check or to adjust the tire
pressure.

CAUTION
■Precautions for use of the sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume
as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with water. If dis-
comfort persists, consult a doctor.
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the
vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the brakes may
be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts may
result in burns.
●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 seal-
ant 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.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not followed,
the sealant may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it burst-
ing 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 opera-
tion immediately.
●The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate
the repair kit continuously for more than 35 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the
repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connecting the
bottle and the compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●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 operat-
ing properly.

CAUTION
■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 less, the tire may be severely damaged.

CAUTION
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surround-
ing area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may
also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme cau-
tion.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transmission and other components
●Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than
necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the vehi-
cle may require towing to be freed.
