If you have a flat tire (vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit)
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread can
be repaired temporarily using the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
(The kit contains a bottle of sealant. The sealant can be used only once
to temporarily repair one tire without removing the nail or screw from
the tire.) After temporarily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by any authorized Lexus dealer, tire dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Before repairing the tire

Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N
(manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flashers.

If the vehicle becomes stuck
CAUTION
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or persons.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
When shifting the shift lever
With automatic transmission vehicles, be careful not to shift the shift lever
with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or N
(vehicles with a manual transmission).
Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck
tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help pro-
vide traction under the tires.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to the D or R position (vehicles with
an automatic transmission) or 1 or R position (vehicles
with a manual transmission), release the parking brake
and carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehicle.
Turn off TRC and VSC if these functions are hampering
