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), and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-

Attach the air release cap to the end
of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached, the
sealant may leak and the vehicle may
get dirty.
Temporarily store the bottle in the trunk while it is connected to the compres-
sor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive safely for
about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in a safe
place on a hard, flat surface and
remove the air release cap from the
hose before reconnecting the repair
kit.
Turn the compressor switch on and
wait for several seconds, and then
turn it off. Check the tire inflation
pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm 2
or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture cannot
be repaired. Contact any autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm 2
or bar, 19 psi) or higher,
but less than the recommended level: Proceed to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is the recommended level: Proceed to step .15
