pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is speci-

459 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
44 psi) or 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 58 psi), then grad-
ually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute after
the switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch
off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being care-
ful not to over inflate, check
and repeat the inflation proce-
dure until the recommended
tire inflation pressure is
reached.
• If the needle of the air pres-
sure gauge reaches the red
zone (450 kPa [4.5 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 65 psi] or more), there
may be a malfunction in the
tire or in the kit itself. Stop
operation immediately.

• If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the recom-
mended level after inflation for
10 minutes with the switch on,
the tire is too damaged to be
repaired. Turn the compressor
switch off and contact any
authorized Toyota dealer, tire
dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped
professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the recommended
level, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure.
(P. 464)
Disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire and then pull
out the power plug from the cigarette lighter socket.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately
drive for about 5 km (3 miles).
After driving for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and reconnect the compressor.STEP12

When trouble arises
URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture can-
not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer, tire
dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped
professional.
If the tire inflation pressure is
between 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 19 psi) and a point
below the recommended level:
The tire can be repaired. Pro-
ceed to .
If the tire inflation pressure is
at the recommended level:
Proceed to .
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the rec-
ommended tire inflation pressure is reached. Drive for about 5
km (3 miles) and then perform .

URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)Store the kit and then attach the
2 stickers as shown.
Taking precautions to avoid sud-
den braking and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 80 km/h
(50 mph) to the nearest autho-
rized Toyota dealer, tire dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for tire
repair or replacement.
STEP17
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer, tire
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire side-
wall
When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
When the wheel is damaged
When two or more tires have been punctured
When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire

Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The sealant has limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle.
The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer, tire dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional 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 in the bottle and
other parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer, tire dealer or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30
C
(-22
F) to 60C (140F).
The 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 kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does
not indicate a malfunction.

If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended level
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap
from the hose and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then
turn it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recom-
mended level. (
P. 509)
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.
CAUTION
Precautions for use of the sealant
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, then immediately consult a doctor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
