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.
