Remove the 12-volt battery cover.
Remove the band and take out the
emergency tire puncture repair kit.
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.

Start the hybrid system.
To inject the sealant and inflate the
tire, turn the compressor switch on.
Inflate the tire until the specified air
pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and the
pressure will surge and then gradu-
ally decrease.
The air pressure gauge will display
the actual tire inflation pressure
about 1 minute (5 minutes at low
temperature) after the switch is
turned on.
Inflate the tire until the specified air
pressure.
• Turn the compressor switch off and
then check the tire inflation pressure.
Being careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the inflation pro-
cedure until the specified tire infla-
tion pressure is reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after inflation
for 35 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 specified air pressure, let out some air
to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( →P. 5 5 6 , 5 8 6 )12

If the air release cap is not attached, the
sealant may leak and the vehicle may
get dirty.
Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment 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 reconnecting the repair
kit.

wait for an approximately 5 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 cannot be repaired.
Contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
