If you have a flat tire (vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit)
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread
can be repaired temporarily using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit. (The kit contains a bottle of sealant. The sealant can be used only
once to temporarily repair one tire without removing the nail or
screw from the tire.) Depending on the damage, this kit cannot be
used to repair the tire. (P. 382)
After temporarily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire repaired
or replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional. Repairs conducted using
the emergency tire puncture repair kit are only a temporary measure.
Have the tire repaired and replaced as soon as possible.
Before repairing the tire
Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (vehicles with an automatic transmis-
sion) or N (vehicles with a manual transmission).
Stop the engine.

than necessary.
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
