When trouble arises
FT86_EETurn the compressor switch “ON”
and fill the tire with air until the
specified inflation pressure is
reached.
Turn the switch “OFF” when the pressure gauge connected to
the hose reads the specified pressure.
If the inflation pressure is not attained within 10 minutes, emergency
repair is not possible due to severe damage. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
After completely filling the tire with air, disconnect the hose
from the valve on the tire and pull the power plug of the com-
pressor out of the power outlet on the vehicle.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly in the tire, immediately
drive for about 10 minutes.
After driving about 10 minutes,
pull your vehicle over in a safe
place and reconnect the com-
pressor.

The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, the valve
should be replaced.
Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry
date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
Emergency tire puncture repair kit
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 replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The compressor is reusable.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is -40°C (-40°F)
or more.
The repair 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.
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle before the
expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for replacement.
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 repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.

CAUTION
When fixing the flat tire
After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not fol-
lowed, the sealant may spray out.
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop
the repair operation immediately.
The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 10 minutes.
Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful when han-
dling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part
around the connecting area between the bottle and compressor. It will be
extremely hot.
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the
one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is
located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air-
bag from operating properly.
Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
