7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
14 Inflate 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 400 kPa
(4.0 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 58 psi), then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will display
the actual tire inflation pressure
about 1 to 5 minutes 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
specified tire inflation pressure is
reached.
• The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20
minutes (depending on the outside tem-
perature). If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the specified point after
inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is too
damaged to be repaired. Turn the com-
pressor switch off and contact any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the
specified air pressure, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pressure.

15 With the compressor switch off,
disconnect the hose from the valve
on the tire and then pull out the
power plug from the power outlet
socket.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is
removed.
16 Install the valve cap onto the valve
of the emergency repaired tire.
17 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.
18 Temporarily store the bottle in the
trunk while it is connected to the
compressor.
19 To spread the liquid sealant evenly
within the tire, immediately drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles)
below 80 km/h (50 mph).
