GS350_200t_GS F_OM_OM30E87E_(EE)
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has punctured
the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is removed, repair by the
emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be possible.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may occur.
■Handling the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do not con-
nect the repair kit to any other source.
●If gasoline splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care not to
allow gasoline to contact it.
●Store the emergency tire puncture repair kit in the trunk.
The kit may be thrown around during sudden braking and so forth, damaging the kit.
●Store the repair kit in the trunk out of reach of children.
●Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as the air pres-
sure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters (vehicles with
the tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qu alified and equipped professional or other
qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter when repairing or replacing the tire. ( →P. 4 6 7 )
