■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, i mmediately wash it off with water. If discom-
fort 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 dis-
connected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Keep back from the tire while it is being re paired, as there is a chance of it bursting
while the repair operation is being performe d. If you notice any cracks or deforma-
tion of the tire, turn off the compressor sw itch and stop the repair operation immedi-
ately.
●The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate the com-
pressor 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 indi-
cated. 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 cor-
nering.
●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 infl ation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 19 psi)
or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.

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 trans-
mitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qu alified and equipped professional or other
qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. ( →P. 4 6 9 )

Connect the jumper cables according to the following procedure:Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the exclusive jump starting ter-
minal on your vehicle.
Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal on the second vehicle.
Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal on the
second vehicle.
Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a solid, station-
ary, unpainted metallic point away from the exclusive jump starting terminal
and any moving parts, as shown in the illustration.
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 bat-
tery 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

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 authorized
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. 4 6 5 )
●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 with-
out lifting both front wheels because the front wheels will be locked. ( →P. 5 1 0 )
●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 activated. (→P. 8 5 )
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle
is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt battery may discharge, and the
hybrid system may be unable to start. (The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
WA R N I N G
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flammable gas
that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not
unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” terminal to come
into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact with each
other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt
battery.

■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when han-
dling the 12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not
to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be
received.
●Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to
emit a malodorous gas, which may be detrimental to the health of passengers.
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
→ P. 4 6 6
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entangled in the
cooling fans or belt.
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal is to be used when charging the 12-volt battery
from another vehicle in an emergency. It cannot be used to jump start another vehicle.
