NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the spare tire installed on the vehicle.
(GS350/GS200t with compact spare tire, and GS F)
The vehicle may become lower when driving with the spare tire compar ed to when
driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over uneven road surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and the spare tire (GS350/GS200t with compact spare tire,
and GS F)
Do not fit tire chains to the spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving performance.
■When replacing the tires (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)

If you have a flat tire (vehicles without spare tire)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is equipped with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread can be
repaired temporarily with the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond
repair, which could result in an accident.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a ci rcumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.

■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The sealant has a limited lifespa n. The expiry date is shown on the bottle. The sealant
should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for replacement.
●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 retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40 C (-40 F) to
60 C (140 F).
●The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on your
vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the original ones, or for any other
purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
●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
indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit to check or to adjust the tire pres-
sure.
■If the tire is inflated to mo re 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 se veral seconds, and then turn it off. Check
that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( P. 629)
If the air pressure is lower than the reco mmended level, turn the compressor switch on
again and repeat the inflation procedure un til 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.

WARNING
■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 bo dy 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 sealant
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 dis-
connected 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 bursting
while the repair operation is being performe d. If you notice any cracks or deforma-
tion of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation immedi-
ately.
●The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of ti me. Do not operate the
repair kit continuously for more than 35 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during op eration. 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 indi-
cated. 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 operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning and cor-
nering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the following:
