7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

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

or bar, 44 psi) or 400 kPa

(4.0 kgf/cm

or bar, 58 psi), then

gradually decrease.

The air pressure gauge will display
the actual tire inflation pressure
about 1 to 5 minutes after the
switch is turned on.

check the tire inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate, check and
repeat the inflation procedure until the
specified tire inflation pressure is
reached.

• The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20

minutes (depending on the outside tem-
perature). If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the specified point after
inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is too

damaged to be repaired. Turn the com-
pressor switch off and contact any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the

specified air pressure, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pressure.

recommended level, the tire pressure

warning light may come on/flash.

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 body

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 seal-
ant 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 com-

pleted, the sealant may splatter when

the hose is disconnected or some air is

let out of the tire.

Follow the operation procedure to

repair the tire. If the procedure is 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 performed. If you notice any

cracks or deformation of the tire, turn

off the compressor switch and stop the

repair operation immediately.

The repair kit may overheat if oper-

ated for a long period of time. Do not

operate the compressor continuously

for more than 40 minutes.

Parts of the repair kit become hot

during operation. Be careful handling

the repair kit during and after opera-

tion. Do not touch the metal part con-

necting the bottle and the compressor.

It will be extremely hot.

WARNING

Do not attach the vehicle speed warn-

ing sticker to an area other than the

one indicated.

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 airbag from operating

properly.

Driving to spread the liquid sealant

evenly

Observe the following precautions to

reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of

vehicle control and cause death or seri-

ous injury.

Drive the vehicle carefully at a low

speed. Be especially careful when

turning and cornering.

If the vehicle does not drive straight or

you feel a pull through the steering

wheel, stop the vehicle and check the

following:

• Tire condition. The tire may have sepa-

rated from the wheel.

• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire infla-

tion pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm

or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be

severely damaged.

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 possi-

ble.

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.

Make sure the sealant bottle of the

repair kit is in a vertical position. The

repair kit does not operate properly

when it is laid.

Precautions for the emergency tire

puncture repair kit

The repair kit power source should be

12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do

not connect the repair kit to any other

source.

If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit

may deteriorate. Take care not to

allow gasoline to contact it.

When the emergency tire puncture

repair kit is not being used, be sure to

leave it in the plastic bag and keep it in

its proper storage position to prevent it

from being exposed to dirt or water.

Store the repair kit in its assigned

place out of reach of children.

Do not disassemble or modify the

repair kit. Do not subject parts such as

the air pressure indicator to impacts.

This may cause a malfunction.

To avoid damage to the tire pressure

warning valves and transmitters

When a tire is repaired with liquid seal-

ants, the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter may not operate properly. If a

liquid sealant is used, contact any autho-

rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer or other

qualified service shop as soon as possi-

ble. After use of liquid sealant, make sure

to replace the tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter when repairing or
