When trouble arises
IS250/220d/200d_EEInflate 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 450 kPa (4.5 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 65 psi), then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion 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 inflation procedure until the
recommended tire inflation
pressure is reached.
• If the needle of the air pressure
gauge reaches the red zone (450
kPa [4.5 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 65 psi]
or more), there may be a mal-
function in the tire or in the kit
itself. Stop operation immedi-
ately.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the recom-
mended level after inflating 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, tire
dealer or repairer, or another

• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the recommended
level, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure. (P.
512)
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, immedi-
ately 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
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Lexus dealer,
tire dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
If the tire inflation pressure is
between 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 19 psi) and a
point below the recom-
mended level: The tire can be

16”.
If the tire inflation pressure is
at the recommended level:
Proceed to “STEP 17”.
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the
recommended tire inflation pressure is reached. Drive for
about 5 km (3 miles) and then perform “STEP 14”.
Store the kit and then attach the
2 stickers as shown.
Taking precautions to avoid
sudden braking and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 80 km/h
(50 mph) to the nearest autho-
rized Lexus dealer, tire dealer or
repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional
for tire repair or replacement.

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 recom-
mended level (P. 548).
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the
compressor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until
the recommended pressure is reached.
CAUTION
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, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
STEP1
Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air
release cap into the tire valve to let some
air out.STEP2

CAUTION
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 been 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.
