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.
Remove the valve cap from the valve
of the punctured tire.
Remove the air release cap from the
hose.
You will use the air release cap again.
Therefore keep it in a safe place.

Connect the bottle to the compres-
sor.
Connect by inserting the bottle straight
into the compressor, and make sure that
the protruding part of the bottle is prop-
erly aligned with the groove in the case.
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 quali-
fied and equipped professional that
sealant has been applied to the punc-
ture when having the tire repaired or
replaced.

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/cm2 or bar, 58
psi), and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 minute (15 minutes at
low temperature) after the switch
is turned on.
Inject to recommended pressure.
• 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 spec-
ified tire inflation pressure is
reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower 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. ( →P. 5 3 9 , 5 7 5 )
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.
