7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
Q Compressor
Air pressure gauge
Compressor switch
Power plug
Hose
Air release cap
Q Emergency tire puncture repair kit
O The sealant stored in the emergency tire
puncture repair kit can be used only once
to temporarily repair a single tire. If the
sealant in the bottle and other parts of the
kit have been used and need to be
replaced, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. The compressor
can be used repeatedly.
O The sealant can be used when the outside
temperature is from -30°C (-22°F) to
60 °C (140 °F).
O The kit is exclusively designed for size
and type of tires originally installed on
your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a
different size than the original ones, or for
any other purposes.
O If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may
stain.
O If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the
surface of the vehicle body, the stain may
not be removable if it is not cleaned at
once. Immediately wipe away the sealant
with a wet cloth.
O During operation of the repair kit, a loud
operation noise is produced. This does
not indicate a malfunction.
O Do not use to check or to adjust the tire
pressure.
Q Note for checking the emergency tire
puncture repair kit
O Check the sealant expiry date occasion-
ally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle.
O Do not use sealant whose expiry date has
already passed. Otherwise, repairs con-
ducted using the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit may not be performed
properly.
O The sealant should be replaced before
the expiry date. Contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for
replacement.
Q 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.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a cir-
cumferential groove on the side wall. In
such a case, the tire may explode when
using a repair kit.
Q Caution while driving
O Store the repair kit in the trunk. Injuries
may result in the event of an accident
or sudden braking.
