When trouble arises
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 recommended level. (P. 645)
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recommended pres-
sure is reached. 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.

Precautions for use of the sealant
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, con-
sume 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.

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.

When trouble arises
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 possible.
The kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the kit is not exposed to water, such
as when it is being used in the rain.
Do not put the kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may occur.
Use the kit with the top facing upward. The kit cannot work properly if it is
laid on its side.
Handling the emergency tire puncture repair kit
The compressor power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the compressor to any other source.
If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit may deteriorate. Take care not to allow
gasoline to contact it.
Store the kit in its assigned place out of reach of children.
Do not disassemble or modify the 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 (vehicles
with the tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire.

Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the 12-volt battery of your vehicle.
Open and close any of the doors of your vehicle with the power switch
off.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the hybrid
system of your vehicle by turning the power switch to ON mode.
Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator light
does not come on, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order from which they were connected.
Close the exclusive jump starting terminal cover, and reinstall the fuse
box cover to its original position.
Once the hybrid system starts, have the vehicle inspected at any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional as soon as possible.
Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running at
a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
The hybrid system may not start. (P. 507)
If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle
cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the front wheels will
be locked. (P. 562)
When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, start the hybrid system and confirm
that the shift position can be changed to each position using the shift position
indicator.
Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is acti-
vated. (P. 9 3 )
