valve of the punctured tire.
Remove the air release cap
from the hose.
Connect the hose to the valve.
Screw the end of the hose
clockwise as far as possible.
Check the specified tire infla-
tion pressure.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
CT200h_OM_OM76067E_(EE)To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
Use the kit with the top facing
upward.
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),
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
after the switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch
off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the infla-
tion procedure until the rec-
ommended tire inflation
pressure is reached.

• If the needle of the air pres-
sure gauge reaches the red
zone (450 kPa [4.5 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 65 psi] or more),
there may be a malfunction
in the tire or in the kit itself.
Stop operation immediately.
• If the tire inflation pressure
is still lower than the recom-
mended level after inflation
for 10 minutes with the
switch on, the tire is too
damaged to be repaired.
Turn the compressor switch
off and contact any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the recommended
level, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure.
(P. 624)
Disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire and then pull
out the power plug from the power outlet socket.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immedi-
ately drive for about 5 km (3 miles).STEP 12

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
CT200h_OM_OM76067E_(EE)After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and reconnect the compressor.
Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
If the tire inflation pressure is
between 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 19 psi) and a
point below the recom-
mended level: The tire can be
repaired. Proceed to .
If the tire inflation pressure is
at the recommended level:

Store the kit and then attach the
2 stickers as shown.
Taking precautions to avoid
sudden braking and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 80 km/h
(50 mph) to the nearest
authorized Lexus dealer, tire
dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped
professional for tire repair or
replacement.

In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire side-
wall
When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
When the wheel is damaged
When two or more tires have been punctured
When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire

If the tire is inflated to more 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 several seconds, then
turn it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recom-
mended level. (P. 661)
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the
compressor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until
the recommended pressure is reached.
CAUTION
Precautions for use of the sealant
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, then immediately consult a doctor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
STEP1
Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air
release cap into the valve to let some air
out.STEP2

CAUTION
When fixing the flat tire
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
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 disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
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 kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate
the compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit
during and after operation.
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning 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 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 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 separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 19 psi) or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.
