■The spare tire (GS350/GS200t with compact spare tire, and GS F)
●GS350/GS200t: The spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
●Use the spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire. (→P. 6 2 3 )
■When using the spare tire* (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the
light remains on.

●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 purchased,
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

●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

■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, and then turn it off. Check
that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( →P. 6 2 3 )
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 tire valve to let some air
out.
