When trouble arises
step 22.
21 Turn the compressor switch on to
inflate the tire until the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure is
reached. Drive for about 3 miles (5
km) and then perform step 19.
22 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.
23Store the bottle in the trunk while it
is connected to the compressor.
24 Taking precautions to avoid sud-
den braking, sudd en acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at
under 50 mph (80 km/h) to your
Lexus dealer that is less than 62
miles (100 km) away for tire repair
or replacement.
■After a tire is repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflat ion pressure is at the
recommended level, the tire pressure
warning light may come on/flash.
■If the tire is inflated to more than the
recommended level
1 Disconnect the hose from the valve.
2 Install the air release cap to the end of
the hose and push the protrusion on the air release cap into the valve to let some
air out.
3 Disconnect the hose from the valve,
remove the air release cap from the
hose and then reconnect the hose.
4 Turn the compressor sw itch on and wait
for several seconds, then turn it off.
Check that the air pressure indicator
shows the recommended level.
(  P.345)
If the air pressure is lower than the rec-
ommended level, tu rn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation
procedure until the recommended
pressure is reached.
WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat
area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area
around the brakes immediately after
the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the
wheels and the area around the brakes
may be extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands, feet or other body
parts may result in burns.
●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.

When trouble arises
Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a
hard, flat surface.
 Set the parking brake.
 Shift the shift lever to P.
 Stop the engine.
 Turn on the emergency flashers.
( P.292)
NOTICE
●Store the emergency tire puncture
repair kit in the trunk. The kit may be
thrown around during sudden braking
and so forth, damaging the kit.
●Store the kit in its assigned place out of
reach of children.
●Do not disassemble or modify the kit.
Do not subject parts such as the air
pressure indicator to impacts. This may
cause a malfunction.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repair ed with liquid seal-
ants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a
liquid sealant is used , contact your Lexus
dealer as soon as possible. After use of
liquid sealant, make sure to replace the
tire pressure warnin g valve and transmit-
ter when repairing or replacing the tire.

P.275)
If you have a flat tire (vehi-
cles with a spare tire)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
spare tire. The flat tire can be
replaced with the spare tire.
For details about tires: P.271
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat
tire can damage the tire and the wheel
beyond repair, which could result in an
accident.
