7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
WARNING
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or
you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the
following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have sepa-
rated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation
pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar,
19 psi) or below, this may indicate
severe tire damage.
NOTICE
■ When performing an emergency
repair
● Perform the emergency repair with-
out removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the
object that has punctured the tire is
removed, repair by the emergency tire
puncture repair kit may not be possi-
ble.
● The kit is not waterproof. Make sure
that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the
rain.
● Do not put the kit directly onto dusty
ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust etc., a
malfunction may occur.
● Make sure to stand the kit with the bot-
tle vertical. The kit cannot work prop-
erly if it is laid on its side.
■ Handling the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit
● The compressor power source should
be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to any
other source.
● If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit
may deteriorate. Take care not to allow
gasoline to contact it.
● 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 repaired 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 warning valve and transmit-
ter when repairing or replacing the tire.
