7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
13 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 minute (15 minutes at low
temperature) 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 rec-
ommended tire inflation pressure is
reached.
If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than
the recommended level after inflation for
10 minutes (35 minutes at low tempera-
ture) with the switch on, the tire is too dam-
aged to be repaired. Turn the compressor
switch off and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the
recommended level, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pressure. (P.377,
400)
14 With the compressor switch off, dis-
connect 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.
15 Install the valve cap onto the valve
of the emergency repaired tire.
16 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.
17 Temporarily store the bottle in the
trunk while it is connected to the
compressor.
18 To spread the liquid sealant evenly
within the tire, immediately drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles)
below 80 km/h (50 mph).
