5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Sealant
■
One tire can be repaired using the bottle of sealant stored in the emergency tire
●
puncture repair kit.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -22°F (-30°C)
●
to 140°F (60°C).
When the outside temperature is low, the viscosity of the sealant becomes high
●
and it will be more difficult to inject the sealant. In this case, warm the sealant in
the vehicle before using it.
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiration date is marked on the bottle.
●
The sealant should be replaced before the expiration date. Contact your Lexus
dealer.
If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
●
After using the sealant, bring the empty bottle of sealant to your Lexus dealer
●
and purchase a new bottle. Keep the new bottle of sealant in your vehicle.
Compressor
■
The compressor is a pneumatic filling type for passenger vehicles.
●
When the compressor is operating, a loud operating noise will be produced.
●
This does not indicate a malfunction.
The wheel of a tire that has been repaired
■
If you remove the sealant adhering to the wheel with a rag, you can reuse the wheel.
The valve of a tire that has been repaired
■
After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, the tire pres-
●
sure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, even if the
●
tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pressure warning
light may come on/flash.
