Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a nail
or screw passing through the tire
tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and disenable emergency repair
with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move
the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned
at the top of the tire.

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/
cm
2 or bar, 58 psi), then gradu-
ally decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
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.

When trouble arises
• If the needle of the air pressure gauge reaches the red zone (450
kPa [4.5 kgf/cm2 or bar, 65 psi] or more), there may be a malfunc-
tion in the tire or in the kit itself. Stop operation immediately.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the recommended
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 authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the recommended level, let
out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. (P. 617)
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, immediately drive
for about 5 km (3 miles).

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 can-
not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped profes-
sional.
If the tire inflation pressure is between 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
19 psi) and a point below the recommended level: The tire can be
repaired. Proceed to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level: Proceed to
step .

Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle. The
sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any 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 only
once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant in the bottle and other
parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact 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 (-22F) to
60C (140F).
The 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 kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
