The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-

authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for replacement.
The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used

any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30 C (-

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
