Emergency repair method

3267-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Turn the compressor switch off and then
check the tire inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate, check and
repeat the inflation pr ocedure until the rec-
ommended tire inflation pressure is
reached.
If the tire inflation pre ssure is still lower than
the recommended level after inflation for
10 minutes (35 minutes at low tempera-
ture) with the switch on, the tire is too dam-
aged to be repaired. Turn the compressor
switch off and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the
recommended level, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P.327,
347)
14 With the compressor switch off, dis-
connect 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.
15Install the valve cap onto the valve
of the emergency repaired tire.
16 Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached, the
sealant may leak and the vehicle may get
dirty.
17Temporarily store the bottle in the
trunk while it is connected to the
compressor.
18 To spread the liquid sealant evenly
within the tire, immediately drive safely for about 3 miles (5 km)
below 50 mph (80 km/h).
19 After driving, stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and reconnect the compressor.
20 Turn the compressor switch on and
wait for several seconds, then turn it
off. Check the tire inflation pres-
sure.
If the tire inflatio n pressure is below
19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar):
The puncture cannot be repaired.
Contact your Lexus dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure is
between 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3
kgf/cm
2 or bar) and a point below
the recommended level: The tire
can be repaired. Proceed to step
21 .
If the tire inflation pressure is at the
recommended level: Proceed to

When trouble arises
step 22.
21 Turn the compressor switch on to
inflate the tire until the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure is
reached. Drive for about 3 miles (5
km) and then perform step 19 .
22 Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached, the
sealant may leak and the vehicle may get
dirty.
23Store the bottle in the trunk while it
is connected to the compressor.
24 Taking precautions to avoid sud-
den braking, sudd en acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at
under 50 mph (80 km/h) to your
Lexus dealer that is less than 62
miles (100 km) away for tire repair
or replacement.
■After a tire is repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflat ion pressure is at the
recommended level, the tire pressure
warning light may come on/flash.
■If the tire is inflated to more than the
recommended level
1 Disconnect the hose from the valve.
2 Install the air release cap to the end of
the hose and push th e protrusion on the air release cap into the valve to let some
air out.
3 Disconnect the hose from the valve,
remove the air release cap from the
hose and then reconnect the hose.
4 Turn the compressor switch on and wait
for several seconds, then turn it off.
Check that the air pressure indicator
shows the recommended level.
(  P.347)
If the air pressure is lower than the rec-
ommended level, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation
procedure until the recommended
pressure is reached.
WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●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 body
parts may result in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose securely
with the tire installed on the vehicle.
