Emergency tire puncture repair kit
■
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is shown 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 need to be purchased,
contact your Lexus dealer.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40 C (-40 F) to
●
60 C (140 F).
The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on your
●
vehicle. 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 repair 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.

If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compressor switch on
again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recommended pressure is reached.
