■ Emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle. The sealant
should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact your Lexus dealer for replacement.
● The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only once to
temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used and needs to be purchased,
contact your Lexus dealer. The compressor is reusable.
● The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40F (-40C) to
140F (60C).
● The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on your vehi-
cle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the original ones, or for any other
purposes.
● If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
● 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.
● During operation of the kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit to check or to adjust the tire pres-
sure.
