●Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
●Set the parking brake.
●Shift the shift lever to P.
●Stop the hybrid system.
●Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 566)
●Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a nail
or screw passing through the tire
tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and disenable emergency repair
with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehi cle until the area of the puncture, if
known, is positioned at the top of the tire.
■A flat tire that cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit. Contact any authorized Lexus retaile r or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
●When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
●When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire sidewall
●When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
●When the wheel is damaged
●When two or more tires have been punctured
●When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire

Start the hybrid system.
To inject the sealant and inflate the
tire, turn the compressor switch on.
Inflate the tire until the specified air
pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will surge and then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 minute (5 minutes at
low temperature) after the switch
is turned on.
Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure.
• Turn the compressor switch off
and then check the tire infla-
tion pressure. Being careful
not to over inflate, check and
repeat the inflation procedure
until the specified tire inflation
pressure is reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after
inflation for 35 minutes with the swit ch on, the tire is too damaged to be
repaired. Turn the compressor swit ch off and contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceed s the specified air pressure, let out
some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 622, 652)
