292 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Before performing emergency repairCheck the degree of the tire damage. A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit if the damage is caused
by a nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail orscrew from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and prevent emer-
gency repair with the repair kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the area
of the puncture, if known, is
positioned at the top of the
tire.
■In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit. Contact your Scion dealer.
●When the tire is damaged due to dr iving without sufficient air pres-
sure
●When there are any cracks or damage at any location on the tire,
such as on the side wall, except the tread
●When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the trea d is 0.16 in. (4 mm) long or more
●When the wheel is damaged
●When two or more tires have been punctured
●When more than 2 sharp objects such as nails or screws have
passed through the tread on a single tire
●When the sealant has expired
