Maintenance and care
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of
handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter,
rim width, and inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been straightened
Aluminum wheel precautions
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

Sealant
One tire can be repaired using two bottles of sealant stored in the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C
(-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
After using the sealant, bring the empty bottles of sealant to any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional and purchase a new bottle. Keep the new bottles 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 pro-
duced.
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. However, in the case of the valve, replace it with a new one.

NOTICE
Vehicles with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
When performing an emergency repair
Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is
removed, the repair using the sealant in the emergency tire puncture repair
kit may fail.
When fixing the flat tire
Do not put the valve core on dirty ground or in the sand.
Store it in a clean place.
Do not remove the inside cap of the sealant bottle.
Turn the valve core tool with your hand when screwing it in. If you use
another tool in conjunction with the valve core tool, damage may occur.
Do not operate the compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
The motor may overheat and be damaged. Let the compressor cool before
using it again.
Compressor precautions
The compressor power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to 24 V DC or any other power source.
The compressor is an oil-less type. Do not lubricate with oil.
