When trouble arises
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
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/cm2 or bar, 44 psi) or
400 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 58
psi), and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 minute (15 minutes at
low temperature) after the switch
is turned on.
Inject to recommended pressure.
• Turn the compressor switch off
and then check the tire inflation pressure. Being careful not toover inflate, check and repeat the
inflation procedure until the spec- ified tire inflation pressure isreached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lowe r than the specified point after inflation for 10 minutes (35 minutes at low temperature) with the switch on, the tire is toodamaged to be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and contact any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer. • If the tire inflation pressure exceeds th e recommended level, let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 520, 555)
With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire
and then pull out the power plug from the power outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak wh en the hose is removed.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.

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 mayget 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/cm2 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/cm2 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 .

■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 se veral seconds, and then turn it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( P. 555) If the air pressure is lower than the reco mmended level, turn the compressor switch on
again and repeat the inflation procedure un til the recommended pressure is reached.
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Vehicles with the tire pressure warning system: Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the ti re pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally. The expiry date is shown on the bottle.Do not use sealant whose expiry date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
