Attach the 2 stickers as shown.
Remove any dirt and moisture from
the wheel before attaching the sticker.
If you are unable to apply the stickers,
inform the nearest any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional that sealant has been applied to
the puncture when having the tire
repaired or replaced.
Check the specified tire inflation pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on
the label as shown. (→P. 6 4 5 )
Start the engine. ( →P. 2 3 7 )

To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
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/cm
2 or bar, 58 psi), and
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute (15
minutes at low temperature)
after the switch is turned on.
Inject to recommended pres-
sure.
• Turn the compressor switch off and then check the tire inflation
pressure. Being careful not to
over inflate, check and repeat
the inflation procedure until the
specified tire inflation pressure is
reached.

• If the tire inflation pressure is stilllower than the specified point
after inflation for 10 minutes (35
minutes at low temperature)
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.

With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the valve on
the tire and then pull out the power plug from the power outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.
Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached,
the sealant may leak and the vehicle
may get dirty.
Temporarily store the bottle in the trunk while it is connected to the
compressor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and remove the air release cap
from the hose before reconnect-
ing the repair kit.

Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds, and
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.If the tire inflation pressure is
under 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
130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 19
psi) or higher, but less than the
recommended level: Proceed
to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is
the recommended level: Pro-
ceed to step .
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the recommended
tire inflation pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles) and
then perform step .
Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached,
the sealant may leak and the vehicle
may get dirty.

■If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended levelDisconnect 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, and then turn it off.
Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( →P. 6 4 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 pres-
sure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
●After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, the valve should
be replaced.
●Vehicles with the tire pressure warning system: After a tire is repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit, even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recom-
mended level, the tire pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle.
Do not use sealant whose expiry date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs con-
ducted using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly. Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air
release cap into the tire valve to let some air
out.
CAUTION
■Caution while driving
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident.
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is made exclusively for your vehicle. Do
not use it on other vehicles.
●Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit for tires that are a different size
than the specified ones or for any other purpose. Doing so may cause the tires to
not be repaired properly.

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.
