8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will spike to 44 psi
(300 kPa, 3.0 kgf/cm
2
or bar) or
58 psi (400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm
2
or
bar), then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure 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 infla-
tion for 10 minutes (35 minutes at low temperature) with the switch on, the tire
is too damaged 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. 617, 652)
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.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.
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.
Temporarily store the bottle in the trunk while it is connected to the compres-
sor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive safely for
about 3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph (80 km/h).
