When trouble arises
■ When performing an emergency repair
● Perform the emergency repair without 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 possible.
● 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 bottle vertical. The kit cannot work properly if it is
laid on its side.
■ Handling the emergency tire puncture 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 sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter 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 transmitter when repairing or replacing the tire. (→P. 518)
