Before putting the sealant into use
Check the degree of the tire damage before making use of the seal-
ant in the emergency tire puncture repair kit.

if the damage is caused by a nail
or screw passing through the tire
tread. Perform the repair with the
nail or screw that has punctured
the tire positioned at the bottom,
in contact with the ground.
Emergency repair with the sealant in the kit is not possible in the fol-
lowing cases. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.

If the vehicle becomes stuck
When changing the shift position
Depress the brake pedal and ensure that the vehicle has stopped com-
pletely before changing the shift position. Failure to do so could cause the
rejection function to be activated, canceling the shift position change, or
causing the shift position to change to N automatically.
CAUTION
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or persons.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Set the parking brake, change the shift position to P and
stop the hybrid system.
Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide
traction under the tires.
Restart the hybrid system.
Make sure to change the shift position to D or R, release
the parking brake, and then carefully apply the accelerator
to free the vehicle.STEP1
